Transfer Rumour Theo Walcott

[TheFinnFan]

Looks like this will happend.

Good signing imo

He can join Gylfi on the payday express FC train. A nice bump in wages for a bang average player

Theo is probably taking in cut in wages from the approx 120k he earns a week at arsenal.

On Soccer Saturday he actually said Walcott would do well at Everton but he should go to Bournemouth (or Southampton) so his kids could go to school in North Hampshire and not have to move up north! In short...he’s an idiot

Unfortunately, that would probably be a factor. Having played for Arsenal, I doubt that our history or fan base is a big attraction to him. He’s taking a step down regardless.

As has been said, hopefully he has some hunger about him still.

Tbf to him he was telling everyone who'd listen that we needed a striker and left sided defender from about August

Nobhead and bad manager, but it wasn't his job to do deals

This is true, I hate Koeman for how bad he has left us and how easily he messed it up but Steve Walsh is just as much to blame. His one main job is to take on board the style of play the club wants and get players and coaches to fit that mould and make sure the squad is balanced etc. I don't see how he still has a job tbh especially if the best he can come up with this window is Shaw and Walcott. Where's all these unearthed gems?

'Earns'? The guy's hardly ever out of bed is he?

I highly doubt this.

Fee agreed. Expect Theo Walcott to be an Everton player shortly.

I think sigurdsson, though he's not yet set the world alight for us, is available for every game, and always at least tries to put a shift in. That would be the main worry about Walcott on big wages for me. It's a massive gamble for us to take if he doesn't play that much and we wouldn't be able to get rid of him if he stunk the place out.

I think he can be a better than average player on his day but I'm not sure either how many good days he's got left or whether his attitude is really up to it. See Morgan Schneiderlin.

Career highlights include:

Going to the World Cup at 16 and not playing.

Taunting Spurs fans and then being out for a year.

Looking like John Tickle.

Think we're matching his Arsenal wage mate.

Seen 110k as the most bandied-around figure

Which, since we're reportedly paying Tosun more, I don't really care about.

- Winning 3 FA Cups

- Scoring over 100 goals for Arsenal

Or in short, better than any player we've had in 3 decades.

Back on topic please.

The sort of signing Villa/West Ham/Sunderland would have made in their rich period.

Still having old, unsaleable players, on huge wages worked out well for them so why not us?

Can he jump high? Going to be no use hoofing the ball up to him
