Theo Walcott: Sold to Everton

[Mark Tobias]

Offload this joker. Real shame. Such a likeable character turned mercenary after a long overdue wait to have a season with double figures (goals). Should just retire and write children's books.

There aren't many teams in the league that would pay 140k for a squad player.

Yes but perhaps a Mahrez/Vardy move will tempt Leicester. Could see Theo licking his lips to play in that setup as the new star name. I'm fact it could be move that saves his fleeting career

I'm so tempted to count the number of posts you've made in this thread to refute that, but it would be too much work.

If by that you mean refute my posts?? Take your best shot, i've backed up what i've said with evidence.

but it would be too much work.

That's a shame, was looking forward to that.

We have to sell him. He is no good to us.

But make no mistake about it. He will destroy us when ever he faces us after that. Specially with City.

Everyone says this but apart from RvP in one match,what other ex player has really done that? Theo may be back up to Aguero instead of Bony. He also has to get past Sterling,KdB,Jesus Navas and Ihenacho. On current form,he can't displace anyone in our mediocre set up. It's a risk we have to take and live with the consequences. We can't hoard players who don't help us for fear they may hurt us in the future. I think that fear is why some are still here.

I honestly believe that Wenger is afraid any of his players will end up better elsewhere.

I would certainly agree with this. The problem here is football doesn't work so simply as player A with flourishes under manager B. You have personalities, squads, different views of football, how they learn etc.

Hypothetically, Wenger managing a certain player might not get the best of him as another. He needs to accept that and I really don't think he does due to his past.

 

[Stumped]

Best performance in a long time. Need him to keep this up.

Possibly. But let's lion at ex Gunners in the PL. They've all won things or probably will,but who's gone from zero to hero? Nobody imo. As for RvP,that little boy cries himself to sleep every night clutching a PL medal won at a club where he'll never be a true legend.

You forgot the part where he's lying in an Arsenal top. But this post made my day. Thank you

Theo could have been our own Vardy, but he'd rather be a s**t Podolski.

His work rate would have to go. Vardy just doesn't score he hassles defenders and wins the ball high up the park. I'd swap Walcott for Vardy no problem.

Looking back at it we should have sold Theo and kept Podolski . At least you knew when that left foot had space it was lethal .

there's an option of not selling to direct rivals. Wenger must have forgot that

I reckon it's more a case of sentimentality given how long Walcott has been at the club.

This is half the problem at the club. Far too much sentiment and not enough ruthlessness with 'potential stars'.

Santis left foots only defence of walcott is to deflect everything towards giroud. Now without using ormcomparing him to any player, you tell me just what the **** he brings to a team and why you defend such a **** individual. My only theory is you're a complete troll or know f all about football

I suggest you actually read my posts.

 

[lyden]

I have, complete drivel. Anyone critic's walcott, I guarantee your reply has the word giroud in it, walcott is trash end of

I'm sure he'd take a PL medal and better financial rewards over the vicious cycle Wenger has created here. Don't kid yourselves. This is a sport where your career lifespan is very short and you need to make the most of it. He's going to retire a very rich man.
