imo his injury means we need to buy two players, a striker and now a wide man (please God not Kalou).
Either Kalou or Gervinho provides you with a 2-in-1 striker/winger solution

Absolutely gutted for him ..did the moronic that sang "let him die " as he lay on the pitch and then showered him with missiles sing the same or think the same when Muamba was on the floor ? of course once that became newsworthy it was "thoughts and prayers" time.
I think he is a massive loss on the run in...
Gnabry looks bright but isn't the finisher theo is, much like Chamberlain, seriously this is a massive blow for us.On the bright side it might encourage the stubborn one to sign that elusive striker, although we're more likely to sign a stop gap bosnian 18 year old on loan
Say what you want about Walcott, but when he is playing, it causes the opposition problems, as they struggle to deal with his pace. Im gutted for him, such a horrible injury to suffer, especially in a world cup year. I don't think his injury will mean we will sign anyone, Wenger will use any excuse not to spend, and you only have to look at how shit we were last season, and he only signed Monreal in the January transfer window, and we are top of the league, this time around, so expect a quiet transfer window.
I have been one of Theo's admirers but admit that he can be frustrating but I kid you not when i say this, without him we are one dimensional and will not win a thing, with him I thought we had a chance of the league, he would have gotten another 10-15 goals.
If he had played as many games as giroud he would have trebled his tally by now, season over
Feel genuinely sorry for the guy - as the retard on page 1 ( ) already said, I am not convinced by the bloke but I have seen signs of improvement in him lately and from that point alone this injury couldn't have come at a worse time That being said I still believe that the injury is a bigger blow to himself than it is to the team - he is not the type of player required to fill the lone striker role and we have gnarby and a soon to be returning ox, that are more than capable of filling the right wing position.
I also concur with the suggestion that this injury wont affect the transfer plans of the C*** In Charge one jot
Gnabry and the ox are not in Theo's class (yet) and will never have his pace or score as many goals mate, he is a massive miss whether people believe it or not
Thats bulllshit.Theo has missed more than half the season and we are top.
We didn't have FA Cup games and two legs against Munich in with ties against Liverpool and United then. February is the month where we need a fully fit squad to mount any serious title challenge. Losing Walcott's pace and movement is a big dent to that.
The manager has 3 weeks to bring in players.My point is dont anyone hid behind injuries as why we wont win the league.

We are fekin cursed
This is how I feel. I was quite optimistic about this season as we have finally sorted the defence out and looked decent going forward. However, without Walcott we are paceless and it was really Ramsey carried us through several matches with his goals. If he is not able to replicate that when he returns then I can't see where the goals are coming from. I suppose Cazorla and Podolski could contribute more in terms of goals than they have already but other than that I can see many games where we will get frustrated.
Everyone is imploring Wenger to spend but honestly who out there is available that would come in the team and start scoring instantly? Even if we do sign anyone this window they aren't going to be top class and as such losing Walcott is a devastating blow

Ox is back training and I thought Gnabry was really very good against the spuds, in fact whenever he has played this season he has impressed.He is strong skilful and not afraid to take players on- time for Wenger to play him more methinks.
I'm totally gutted for Theo and wish him all the best. Agree with you about Gnabry, it's time for him to step up to the plate.
