Sounds like paper talk.

I'm a fan of Theo but if we are being offered £34m for him, we'd have to think about that offer.
Think about? I'd drive him there myself for over £30m!


Absolutely - I would throw a party that would make Steve o's BBQ look like a Tupperware party :lol: :lol: :barscarf:

The way people say, willy nilly, that'd they'd "drive" someone somewhere to get rid of them. Now, Theo to Monaco - yes, I'd bite their hand off :D ...but it's a long way to drive from London to Monaco with all those tolls and a few stopovers - remember it's not you who's getting the 34 million and you're going to have to take a few days off work.

:roll: :oops: :barscarf:

Exactly and who would like to have that useless *word censored* Walcott as a passenger for the duration of the journey, unless it was to give a good seeing to to his missus, Mel!! :roll: :roll:

If she was sat in the front with a mini skirt on then I'd happily take them.

You could let Walcott driving, you will go really fast but at the end you will be kind of confused where you are, miss Monaco and arrive to Marseille. :lol:

They can have Feo, as long as they lend us Falcao as part of the deal.

Would be worth going after somebody like Reus for a start - ambitious I know but that sort of money would trigger his release clause or be accepted anyway probably and when he sees Lewandowski follow Gotze out the door, sees Dortmund fall short(er) of Bayern again domestically and in Europe and then gets a huge offer from a big club in a really attractive league he may be tempted.

The likes of Bayern, Madrid and Barca are also willing to let some quality players go to make room for the new flavour of the month. If you're looking for exciting young players you could buy any highly sought-after hot prospect and still get a fair bit of change from that.

Face it, there are very few wide players that £34m wouldn't buy. I certainly think we could get somebody better than Walcott, who in a typical 5 game cycle will have 1 excellent game, 2 games where he drifts in and out and 2 games where he's totally useless.

He's by no means the finished article and at times drives me barmy, but selling him is not in our best interests because without him in tight games we look pedestrian and in the games against Dortmund and Chelsea for example he would have offered a different type of threat. Instead the game was played out at a snail's pace in front of their back lines

He's probably the second best option to play up front too at the moment given that Wenger refuses to sign a striker in the same stubborn way he refused to sign a keeper for several years

walcott is a player irreplaceable in the team (his speed and acceleration is the best)
but his finishing really sucks!
