so he scores 1 in 4 games and has an 1 assist in 3 games the problem with theo is one good game where he sets up 2 goals is always followed by 3-4 really bad games where he cant beat a man , crossing awful and shooting worse.

whilst I respect your opinion on this nice new polite forum that really is not true is it?

[REB]

then red you must be watching a different theo to the majority. when has he ever had 3-4 games in row when you could have said well done theo another good game today, never.

[Red Member]

cant think of 3/4 games in a row where he has been good but thats not what you said.

you said he goes on runs of 3-4 games where he is bad - thats not true. If he has a bad game then he usually comes back stronger in the next one, thats where the mental strength of the team comes in

are you for real, you defend him and then admit he cant play good for 3-4 games while then saying he has mental strength because after playing shite one wek he is going to play well the next
you red i have been defending your right on here because i believe in free speech but you dont make it easy for me by making silly posts all the time, im starting to really believe your a wum now because no one is that blinkered

Cue one of reds piss taking retractions, the guy is a twat.

few players play that well EVERY week, you are getting spoilt because of what RVP has achieved this season.

the fact is Walcott has produced pretty much every other game for the last couple of months and that is very good - puts him in the bracket of top midfielders in the PL.

I was replying to someone who says he has runs of 3/4 bad games and I dont believe that is true

mate the assists is a myth, how many decent crosses have been converted (most of them were crap and we got lucky).

I'm not really responding to you because I know your not an arsenal supporter but a WUM that takes great pleasure in rubbing it in after a dissapointing result, but to anyone that believes otherwise. He is an absolutely terrible midfielder, he can't beat players without pace and his crossing is woeful, not only that he struggle with the most simple of passes. As a striker he is ok, just above average but he isn't good enough for us, maybe he'd do well at everton or villa but here, no. I saw him wasting time with playing the ball back to the defenders at QPR on saturday when he had space to run with the ball. I would say gervinho is better than him, and thats saying something.

the fact we rely on him so much is an illustration of how poor we are, look at Newcastle with Ben Arfa, now he is top class, Walcott could only dream of being up to his standard. Thats the sort of player we need.

[the moog]

Footballers under age 21 cannot play 90 minutes every week without causing fissures in their bones.
The bones do not fully form until age 21.
The result of overplaying are that these small fissures enlarge to become stress fracture injuries of the sort that Wilshere and Cesc picked up.
And of the sort that meant Fowler and Owen were finished as regular top class players after age 26.

Augie, I would pay Walcott 75K a week for sure (if that is what he going rate is. Whilst we have all read in the papers what players are paid, I have yet to see an actual wage slip to verify the papers are correct!)

I am going against the grain by supporting Walcott's new contract, so be it.
There are many outfield Arsenal players I would sell and replace before Walcott:

Squillachi
Djourou
Eastmond
Diaby
Lansbury
Arshavin
Watt
Chamakh
Park

I couldn't agree more. Best post on here in a while!

Theo is hugely underrated IMO - like him or not (and for what it's worth I can see why he would piss people off, especially the perennially s--tgripped Franksav) he brings something to our team nobody does, Miyaichi doesn't count yet, and has been effective this season. He's also getting a better and better understanding with RVP

i've read some rubbish but this little gem (highlighted) is a beauty.

these posts from Quartz and SWL gooner are actually amongst the best posts that I think have been on here for a while.
I agree with both of them. they are our opinions, if you think they are rubbish then thats up to you.

I respect your opinions too even though I dont agree with it

[mikeyb772001]

If a quality player in the same position came in Theo would be dropped.

Good player on his day but is he good enough – hell no

Is he doing a “good job” yeh when he wants too

Next season if he want to be competing we have to challenge Theo for his position and to be honest Ox will pass him by soon.


So its irrelevant really as I cant see Theo having a long term starting future at the club.


Not that it would happen but if we would of signed Mata or Hazard theo wouldn’t be in the team now , more so with Ox coming through and Podolski apparently signing

if wenger does sign big players in the summer they will all be creative wingers/strikers challenging Theo

Because some of us actually watch football and dont just sit around waiting for twitter to give us some stats and tell us whether a player is any good or not.

re: Quartz, ofcourse there are bigger problems in the squad then Walcott but to the best of my knowledge they are not looking to drain us of 100k a week. If i were feeling particularly generous i would maybe call theo a "useful" player on his day but nothing more then that and the club needs to put its foot down and make it absolutely clear that no way does he have a consistency of performance or good enough control of a football to be worth 100k a week. Offer him a renewal on the same wage as he is currently on (which is probably extortionate anyway) or tell him to pack his bags.
