Did hear the victim scum were sniffing around his agent..

good riddance to the greedy cun.t - If IF he was playing well and had consistency - fair enough - and I know he has been off for 12 months , so it can't be easy - But to try and negotiate now - when he is not playing well/not playing is a bit nawty.

I have never rated Walnut since he came from Southampton, just doesn't seem up to the task, he is fast but his problems comes when he is passed the ball, he doesn't seem to be about to pass anybody when he has it. He should have taken up sprinting.

Looks like he's on his way out. Coming up to 10 years at the club and Wenger normally gets rid before players get there during his reign. Shame I think he's one of our best attackers, he's quite off form at the moment.

It wouldn't surprise me if he fucked off there because his Dad is a plastic Mickeys fan and that was his team as a kid as well. Given their record of wasting money on English players (£35m Carroll, £20m Downing) they are more than welcome to blow a fat wad on Wally if he wants to fuck off there

Sorry to go against the grain here but I think, when given the chance, he has been great since returning. When The Ox got injured I thought Theo would be the natural replacement but what do I know. Wenger obviously prefers solidarity to pace.

I really think we need to give Theo a sustained run in the team (possibly through the middle alogside Giroud). I know for a fact that the Spuds fans were ecstatic when he didn.t start against them.

Perhaps we should refer to him as ~Lucas Walcott now as he seems to be getting the same shoddy treatment from Wenger as the crazy German.

Theo can still be crucial in the latter part of the season. Give him a chance.

Happy to see some good sense prevailing here.

One shit story from the dailyfail claiming he's wants 'north of 90k' he's currently on and Gooners have drawn their daggers and ready to disembowel the lad.

Dailyfail couldn't even quote a figure. But I guess no one could have guessed that someone entering into a contract renewal negotiation would be asking for a pay rise - reckon they always go south, eh?

But you are trying to create a role for him in the team that (a) doesnt currently exist and (b) he has limited experience in and is far from proven in that position :o Surely he should stand or fall on his performances to date because at his age we should no longer be talking about potential, and it has to be said that he has NEVER produced a consistant run of form even before his injury last season.

Blood_Gooner all we can go on at this stage is history and history in wally's case, points to a guy that has an inflated view of himself and thinks he should be paid far more than he is entitled :roll: Unofficial reports have cazorla currently earning less than him and giroud earning the same as him - now I'm no big fan of giroud but he has certainly delivered more than wally has to date, and it would be a scandal if cazorla is earning less than him :x
I remember when negotiations were dragging out for his current contract, I was strongly opposed to him getting paid the big money that he has currently on and now a few years down the line it appears nothing has really changed :roll: I get the fear that he might go elsewhere and be a superstar, but for me has has to be judged and paid based on what he is doing for our club and not on what he might do for another club

Why would it be a scandal re: Cazorla? I rate Santi as much as the other guy, but let's not forget that most of his time here he's been bit like a fairweather player who regularly got lost when the going got tough.

Therefore, let's add a bit like perspective and remember that Theo, at the time of his last contract, had the bargaining power to demand and hold out for a pay rise because of his performances in and around that time. However, this time around, the situation won't be similar, as we are less reliant on him now and furthermore, he doesn't have similar kind of performances to use as leverage - mostly due to him being bit of a crock these days, mind you.

Back to my original point, though, I won't get to slagging him off based on a vague write up by some hack from the dailyfail. If and when official word surfaces of a stand off between him and the Club, brought on by him being a greedy little biyatche, then I'll join the ranks among those telling him to sod off to the bin dippers. And, I'll do so without any consideration for the attacking threat we'll be adding to those lowlives.

I think they both are never going to reach what some people think is their potential, they are both average and injury prone so if we could sell em and bring in new players that don't get injured so easily do it. Walnut and (falling down) Jack are legends in their OWN heads and think they are much better than they really are.
