Theo Walcott

[Lee]

I have a strong feeling that we'll go after Walcott in the summer as he's out of contract then.

No source or reason to think that but I really think we'll be in for him.

You would be if you got his contract status right. Still got one year left.

I'd sign him, he seems to have raw potential, pace, still is young (23), scores goals, plays out wide and is better than Downing.

His name is Theo and he dances on the sand
He's like that river twisting through a dusty land
And when he shines he really shows you all he can
Oh Theo, Theo dance across the Rio Grande.

*may need a bit of polishing.

Plus signing him means we can sing a Vampire Weekend song on the Kop!

do they have a time machine?

Minor detail my friend. I'm delivering a service here.

In fairness he'd probably had 10 Stellas before posting that.

so you enjoy reading childrens books

Wenger has become very rigid in the way he uses Walcott. Keep him holding the width and expect him to create something when the player himself isn't great holding the line.

Walcott needs to be driving into that space between centre back and full back, whether it is with or without the ball. If he could do that, he'll be much better.

He's not been great performance wise and if he replicates it here, he'll have a large percentage of whingers on his back. Needs a few tweaks to his game.

I think he'd be a really good signing. I'm with Shaggy on this one - I think he'd fit in really well into our system. Suarez, Borini and Walcott would all be capable of swapping positions and would be a real handful for any defence.

Plus if you look at the main criticism aimed against him it's normally about his lack of an end product. But if you look at his stats for the past couple of seasons, he's actually been pretty outstanding!

Arsenal are one of the more reasonable clubs to deal with, and his contract situation should mean he's potentialy 'gettable' for a decent fee. I appreciate he's demanding outrageous wages right now, but perhaps the lure of playing for his boyhood club as well as consistant football could be enough to sway him... worth considering at least.

I was talking with a mate in work who doesn't rate him but I'd be happy if we signed him.

It's mad that he's only 23 still!

[Rigadon]

Haha, good on him.

I would love us to sign him - he has the attribute we really lack, pace. And under BR's tutiledge he can maybe go on to become the forward player he thinks he should be. I can see him playing in a front 3 with Suarez and Borini and being very effective, especially in away games.

All said and done, he only has a year on his contract so we may be able to get hime for a decent fee.

I can't see Arsenal selling him, this summer. I also wouldn't want us to spend more than £10m, for him.

A bit!

[saj]

He is a lump of turd and his attempts at growing facial hair in the hope of going for the stubble look is pathetic

Don't sit on the fence Saj
