[Lookin' for a new Baby]

What's it going to be like on AM when Wenger actually leaves if everybody is like this over Wally?

Rightfully respectful.

Surely it's not a coincidence we're getting rid of these wasters on big wages now that we've made changes to the backroom staff.

Really feels like an end of an era.

Theo had plenty of short comings and has handled some things very poorly although alot of those situations were created due to our own poor management off the field.

Theo has always came across as a professional. Never in the papers for anything negative or uncompromising. Will he go down as an Arsenal legend?Perhaps not, but he will be forever in our history.

I wish him the best possible success in his next chapter with Everton* and hope he is now fully over his injury problems.

*except when he plays us.

So, after all that, he didn't turn out as good as Henry.

Good luck to him. He never quite was starting quality here imo, even at his best, but he had some outstanding qualities that got him by. Hopefully he does well at Everton except for a certain 2 fixtures per season.

Great deal for us, £20m and a big chunk of wages freed up.

Some of you guys are pathetic, man up. Only guy at Arsenal right now that I’ll cry about is Arsène. And maybe Özil.

Being respectful and classy is pathetic? That's the Arsenal way mate. Perhaps you're part of the new breed!

So long, and thanks for all the fish

Crazy how someone like Joel Campbell who's contributed nothing to this club gets more respect than someone like Theo.

That is just not true ffs, Campbell gets **** on constantly

I think this is a great read about Theo & sums it up to a tee. This piece was written a few years ago.

THE WHY OF WALCOTT
By
Tim Stillman
January 21, 2016

Maybe Walcott’s “vanilla” character contributes to the emotional response he seems to produce with the Arsenal fanbase. His smirking “2-0” gesture at some pleasingly irate Sp**s fans threatened to move him into cult hero status, but Arsenal fans immediately didn’t see him again for nine months, reducing the impact of the gesture. There have been close shaves with Walcott’s contracts, provoking some rather pointed comments from Arsène Wenger, who is usually rather more taciturn on such issues.

Yet even as his deals entered their death throes, with Arsenal frantically swatting beads of sweat from their brow and snipping wires as the clock ticked down to zero, it never felt as though Walcott’s availability generated a huge amount of interest from other clubs. This, again, is quite extraordinary for an England international and a first choice Arsenal player in his mid 20s. During these contract contretemps, his tame image probably insulated him from the cynicism players usually attract in these situations. Any ill feeling was distilled, parcelled off and laid firmly at the door of “Walcott’s people.”

what? no

Good luck Theo.
He was quite frustrating the last few seasons especially during our 2015/16 season.
I think the unfortunate knee injury he got vs. Sp*ds was very detrimental to his speed and also his sharpness.

Anyway, you have to tip your hat to a player that scored over 100 goals here.

Good luck and hope you smash them in against our rivals.

Wenger makes me cry every day.

 

[bojed]

It might not be the best thing to happen but it does seem to be the right one for both AFC and Theo.

I've never shed a tear for any Arsenal players, not even for Henry, Pires nor Paddy.

But damn son, I nearly shed one for Theo.

LOL please don't stop mate
