Re: Walcott - contract talks/which position is best etc?

Dismissing the assist stat as irrelevant is just as naive as over relying on it. Of course it has some relevance in judging a player's value.

Walcott's pace has unlocked quite a few defences in his time at Arsenal and he has contributed some important goals. Everybody is fully aware he can be ...

Re: Walcott - contract talks/which position is best etc?

really, he's shown that given any longer he's crap. he came on last night when the greeks were shot. could you really see him doing that in the first half?.

you say he's worth keeping but at what price? his contract would be worth at least £8million and he's just not worth that. people need to ...

Re: Walcott - contract talks/which position is best etc?

Whilst there is never a player bigger than the club, I do think Theo would be very useful and better kept than sold.

Tonight was an example where The Ox had a very poor game by his standards, and our other right wing option Gervinho was being used up front.

So Theo would be a plus if he played ...

Re: Theo Walcott - Yes or No

No way can a player dictate to the manager where he will play, do not believe that for a second it happened.

But I do think Walcott can ask to play up front, and has every right to do so.
In the same way that senior players have a duty to tell the boss if they feel a certain strategy or tactic is ...

Re: Walcott's PR Team/Theo out - no direct replacement?

this is unbelievable

the club is collapsing. if Walcott is sold then our best 3 players from last season have basically said this club is going nowhere and left. I am sure most of the others want to leave as well but know that there are not going to be many takers for them.

Re: Overrated Players

there are a lot of people on here with selective memories.
