Walcott may be available on loan

[chrispy]

He's hardly set the Emirates alight has he?

[Guest]

Why would he get more playing time here than at Arsenal?

If Wenger wants to get rid of him, it means he's not good enough. Do we really want Arsenal's rejects. How many players that have left Arsenal have improved ?

I wasn't saying I want him here lads. Just for discussion sake.

[Warren]

Bristol City are apparently trying to get him on loan!

I'm just discussing it

Would have thought it'd be a decent bet that he'd go to Pompey

Rafael Benitez’s daring plan to sign Theo Walcott on loan is turned down by Arsenal

Matt Hughes, Gary Jacob and George Caulkin

Arsenal have rejected an audacious attempt by Liverpool to take Theo Walcott on loan for the rest of the season. The 18-year-old has attracted interest from several Barclays Premier League clubs, with Sven-Göran Eriksson still hopeful of luring him to Manchester City, but the fact that Rafael BenÍtez was willing to place his faith in a player of such limited experience as he attempts to rescue Liverpool’s faltering season will come as a surprise.

BenÍtez has admired Walcott for some time and was one of many managers scrambling for his signature when he left Southampton two years ago, only to balk at his £12 million fee. The Spaniard had hoped to use him on the right wing for the remainder of the season, but Arsène Wenger, the Arsenal manager, is adamant that he will not be allowed out on loan.

Most rubbish I have ever seen. I don't think Rafa would chase a player to start for his side like Walcott. If he isn't good for Wenger, he isn't for Rafa.

[Darth Marty]

I think Walcott will be a very good player, as for us loaning him..no thanks, we have a better player in Babel who could do with the time up front.

[Guest]

It turned out to be that Rafa wanted him ... So it seems.
