Transfer Rumour Theo Walcott

[BlueLee]

If he gets up off the Arsenal bench now and slaps Barkley who's sat watching Chelsea I'd be all up for signing him!

Theo is wank

..I looked a few weeks and I think he’s had a couple of recent seasons with 28 appearances and the others quite a bit below. Perhaps he’s fine now, but it’s just a thing i’d be concerned about. I suppose £20m is low risk in this market. 29 in March.

14/15 and 15/16 (which were spanned by the cruciate ligament injury) he made 18 and 21 appearances respectively.

Every season other than that going back to 2006/07 he's made 30+ appearances. Including 37 last season and 42 the season before.

Really productive, pacey winger that is proven in the Premier League.

He's defo better than the options we already have and is able to play as a striker.

Not sure why so many want to swerve him.

 

[Berenger]

Depending on his attitude -- is he ambitious or has he essentially given up? -- I'd take him on the right deal and providing it doesn't displace the purchase of younger and more ambitious players.

Lennon is out of contract, Niasse is likely off.

Walcott is miles better than both.

Is this Lennon's last year?

Yes.

Although I'd be wiling to offer a years extension as a squad player. Think he arguably deserves it, and not just for sentimental reasons.

If we cant do any better, I dont see why not like, as you say, as a squad player only, but dont suppose he wants that at his age.

I like Walcott, but it's a senseless transfer bearing in mind we have Lookman.

I think he likes it here. He's settled, he's got his life back on track. He might want to stay. I'd be happy enough to give him another year and then reevaluate.

 

[tim cahill]

Interested as to why you think he would be a “fantastic “ signing. I reckon he’s likely to give us plenty of pace, and he’s shown that he can score regularly (last season in particular) but need to be convinced he can deliver on a consistent basis.

I think he’s a top player. His stats over the last 7/8 years show that. He’d give us end product.

Because we love a good moan mate.

Its silly really that over and over people claim he has a history if injury problems. Its a myth. They guy got hurt severely one time over two years ago. Prior to that and after that he has been fine.
