WALCOTT - which position is best etc?

[LDB]

considering Walcott is probably our 2nd most important player then yes £100,000 per week seems fair enough.
keeping hold of him is just as important as keeping hold of RVP.

[LDB]

In all seriousness, I think a lot of Walcott's problem is that every time he has a decent couple of games there are legions of mugs like Red hyping him up and chanting his name. He seems very eager to believe the hype himself which doesnt help, he can cut out all this polishing the boots celebration shit and the "well you know its not all about Robin and me" (No you're right, its all about Robin you fool) for starters.

Just watch, there will be a game soon (possibly today) when a team doubles up on him and gives him no space to get between LB and CH. He will look like a lost puppy and will eventually give up wanting the ball because he knows that unless he's given a free run at goal he is utterly clueless. 100k a week my elbow.

my opinion of walcott is that he is indeed a one trick pony who only works on the shoulder of the last defender receiving through balls, but the truth is that he is so fast and so good at those low passes to rvp on the byline that if we have a different alternative on the other wing (a player who can cut inside, have more quality, like pires) and a tactic that allows him to be always receiving the ball on the run, instead of having two banks of four (or even one) in front of him, he can be a deadly weapon and score and provide loads per season.

he's not the complete footballer, far from that, but can be very useful if we play to his strenghts. if he manages to improve his technique a bit i don't see why he can't be as deadly as overmars was.

if he doesn't renew his contract i won't be dropping any tears though.

Isnt that the point though......any half intelligent manager would tell his backline to sit deep and not allow him the space in behind knowing that by doing so you are largely rendering him ineffective

Another shit-on-a-stick performance today from the world's most overrated 'footballer'.

walcott is supposedly now a "confidence player".....translated means... he relies on others to play well which makes him look better than the overhyped bog standard level that he's at....has a few alright games here and there in 5/6 years and some people cream themselves...he's totally incapable of taking the game on his own...no confidence is no bloody good to us...flog him with the deadwood wenger and give the #14 to the ox a confident proper footballer in every department

He won't be sold as he is one of Wenger’s precious little boys who are allowed to under-perform whilst being rewarded with new contracts and huge salaries. I read on here recently someone claiming that he was “now world class”. What an utter joke. An average player at best – and more often than not, a poor player. It would make my year if he was sold but he will be here for years to come with Wenger unfortunately.

[QuartzGooner]

He put in a decent performance today, or do I just see things others don't

Scored, made runs cutting inside and generally tried to make things happen.
