WALCOTT - which position is best etc?

[Theoperator]

Q. What exactly is a Walcott

A. A player who plays out of his skin only in the weeks running up to a new contract

[falkirk goon]

Wage thief

[mcdowell42]

His agent is a genius,140k a week to steal a living,more interested in playing for England .

[Rosie_titters]

this bloke is really a 20 minute sub as an impact player. When you might need a goal. He can never be allowed to start again.

But again Wenger is to blame. By not buying a World Class striker. Giroud is out of form, Welback has come back from 10 months out and clearly he doesn't trust or rate Campbell.

[northbank123]

He is a fucking useless shit. I know that Quartz has defended him in the past saying that if you go to games you'll see his movement off the ball is actually quite good - well I already disagreed and having stood through that whole saga today it was the most disinterested shower of shit since Adebayor's last few months.

I really cannot put into words how little I think of this fucking greedy little oxygen-thief.

And whilst he might be a legend in his own mind and used to being wanked over, there was not a single person in that away end who didn't cheer when he was substituted, most of them having cursed him all game.

[Wilson]

In ten seasons, he has only ever scored more than 10 league goals once.

0, 4, 2, 3, 9, 8, 14, 5, 5, 4 (this season).

Thats just S anyway you look at it.

I really think its time Theo is sold. As for a player like Theo, who offers nothing by the way of technical ability or contribution to the teams passing game, he needs to be judged on his goals and assists alone. If he cant score or assist goals, he is offering nothing.

[TeeCee]

He's average, just like more than half of the Arsenal squad. These players will be indebted to Arsole Wonga forever, and Wonga just loves that adoration.

Which might be acceptable if he wasnt paid like a superstar The last time his contract was up for renewal, I had some serious arguments on here about the type of money that he was looking for and the type of money he ended up getting - it was (and still is) my belief that you pay a player based on his quality and his importance to the team.....wally is shit and offers fu.ck all to the team but is getting almost the same wage as ozil and sanchez Some fans tried to say that I shouldnt get hung up on the figures and the days of reasonable and accurate wages were gone, but again I looked at the £140k per week deal and thought that at least 60k of that should be put towards enticing a genuine top quality player to sign for us - of course this brings it all back to the argument that many of us have had that wenker has had money at his disposal but continues to spend it badly

[casgooner]

We won't get rid of wally until his contract runs down, he won't go for less than he's on, that's why we had to suffer 'The best striker in the world' for so long. As somebody pointed out, Wenger says he hasn't the money, but he wastes it on paying players who are constantly injured or are just rubbish and on way too much.

Just making myself miserable reading the newspapers. According to one, Walcott had only 17 touches the whole time he was on the pitch.

£8,000 per touch.
nice work if you can get it

And one of those was to set up their first goal!

[Tommy_Goon]

17 touches is a good amount for Theo in 60 minutes. Didn't he play 30 minutes the other week and touch it 5 times?

I wish people would stop picking on him...if he makes the runs and no one passes to him how can he influence the game? There seems to be a culture of picking on the English talent we have at the club. Iwobi has made quite a few substitute appearances and yet to have an assist or goal to his name.

Just a thought, he could try taking the ball with him once in a while...
