Transfer Rumour Theo Walcott

[ToffeeTim]

I politely disagree. Under this manager I don’t see him getting that many. No idea how to set up an attacking unit and our centre midfield isn’t good enough to retain the ball.

I have my doubts as to him dropping Rooney too.

Oh I'm fully in agreement that our midfield is utter tripe. Not one of them is any use on the ball or can play the pivot role of linking defence and attack.

But Walcott gives us firepower and I'm not sure why improving our goalscoring threat is a bad thing. We're all aware there are numerous weaknesses in our team and no one is saying Walcott is the answer to them all. We need a left back and midfield player too.

WTF is Allarydce going to do him???? Turn him into a defensive winger??

He only comes here for the money because there’s no way he’s coming for the manager or the club!

Nice little payday for Theo this and a longturn pain in the arse for us. Just chasing punts into the corner probably

Fair enough and apologize for the age error in my reply lol. If you seriously feel that a sprinter, 'from a local athletic team could be better's, well I can't even provide a serious reply to that.

Well he’s not a goal scorer and has limited technique, he’s a cast off because his current club have no desire to keep him.

No difference from buying Cleverly or Gibson, they weren’t deemed good enough then. Difference is we are now going to lumber about £40m all in on him.

Oh and we need a left back, I’d rather have that

Think we can expect movement on this potential deal very soon

I'd take him but arguably our need at left back and central midfield is more pressing

Not arguably. Is mate.

Dont care how good he is, SAY NO TO MALCOLM.

Our situation isn't really very complicated, going forward. We need pace and proven goalscorers. He offers both.

So he has flaws. Big deal. So did Lukaku.

I think Theo is on record as saying he's always wanted to play in a BS lineup and is looking forward to doing more tracking back.

He certainly doesn’t offer that

100 career goals, mostly from the wing. He certainly does.

I think 19 last year in all comps, as a bit part player, and from wide, shows he will increase our goal threat. Plus he actually runs in behind and isn't a snail. I'm all for this and am shocked that people aren't.

No player has uttered them words ever, except maybe Kevin Nolan.

Wtf is Malcom

 

[toffeejack]

He must be abysmal if he can't get in the Arsenal team today. Can't make my mind up on this one. Was a yes a couple of days ago, but now I just think we should be going for younger, more hungry players.

Giroud can't make this team either, yet constantly comes on and wins games. Their manager is clueless in the main tbh.
