The truth is he isnt good enough as a winger so why would he be any good as a striker
What? Seriously What?!
I don't understand why he's convinced he's a great striker?
He hasn't said he thinks he's a great striker. He just wants the chance to show he can be good there. He's not once said he's a 'great' striker. Walcott is a very humble guy, boasting isn't his thing.
I reckon that Walcott is scamming us when he says it's ''about playing position and not money'', the sooner this useless wanker goes the better, his 15 minute cameo last Sunday was a disgace, a cross out of play under no pressure, a poor defensive header from our area which led to the overhead chance at the end to name a few things and a general ''I can't be arsed to do this'' attitude, he's a fucking overrated fraud, sell, sell and SELL!!

1) He's repeatedly said it's his best position.
2) He believes he's worth £100k/w.
Therefore, and I might be reading between the lines somewhat here, he thinks he's a great striker. Asking for a £100k a week on the back of his performances in a red shirt is hardly humble.
I do actually think he should start up front tomorrow because he's not good enough on the wing and it's hardly going to do any harm in one mickey mouse game. That said, to be fair playing in goal hasn't really worked out for Mannone so if he asks a few times should we give him a chance to play up front before we sell him?

Sorry but no. He will never have the touch, control or strength of Henry. His finishing is one of the better aspects of his game and even that is nowhere near.
If he does end up making it 'big' as a central striker then I fear that tissues and wipes will need to be provided for his fan club in block 2, otherwise there will be one big sticky mess after home games
We spent 15 Million on this guy and unlike most on here I think he is a good player. If he was played centrally his pace would be an even greater asset. If he does not sign soon then we must get our money back on him. Liverpool would be the obvious choice.
Theo's finishing looks at its best when he's running on to the ball, one touch and shoot (a la Chavs and Coventry) but he wouldn't get many such opportunities through the middle unless we went for a counter-attacking game.
I hope all the fans that were wanking over this greedy fraud's display against Coventry (about his level I reckon) are hanging their heads in shame following his, imo, disgraceful 23 minute cameo yesterday, at any other club, he would be boo'd and jeered to kingdom come, he produced another lazy, useless and couldn't be arse'd performance and I hope, along with the other fraud, Diaby, fucks off very soon.

At one stage a move broke down and their left back had the ball and the brainless c**t just walked away with his back to him despite being 2-1 down and us chasing the game and it was left to giroud to run over and press the chav c**t into conceding a throw People may slate giroud and his lack of quality but at least he works his nuts off not like the book author who wants 100k per week for doing fcuk all I absolutely lost it at that time (happened on more than one occasion yesterday ) and I stood up and shouted at walnut to "fcuk off to liverpool you c**t" The place was deadly quiet around me at the time and I did get a few disgusted looks from fellow "Gooners"
