Transfer Rumour Theo Walcott

[JLW]

Yeah but you can't sit there and say "end product is not very good" when his end product demonstrably IS good, or certainly has the capability to be...

Actually think he'd potentially be REALLY effective for us, as we will spend a lot more time playing on the counter compared to Arsenal, who generally have to play through a team sitting deep with 8-10 men behind the ball - which isn't exactly an ideal situation for a pacy winger.

It is good if you read 19 in 37 games but not when he’s had 35-40 chances in 37 games! It would be interesting to see his chances to goals ratio. Look at us lately we just about conjure up 1 chance per game.

I do when its been proven we don't actually have a warchest of money and I dont see clubs lining up to take our unwanted players which will fund new additions to the squad and accommodate their massive wages. Hes on 110k a week

Not an issue according to our owner

His end product is miles better than Lennon.

If you expect a player better than Walcott to arrive then you are kidding yourself.

For once we are looking to buy players from teams above us in the league (albeit one who isn’t playing regularly) rather than teams below us. At 20m, his wages and age, I’d go for it, 30m and I wouldn’t bother.

We bought half of United's reserve team too don't forget.

The problem is, he chats as much BS as Kenwright, which is a bit of a worry.

 

[Deckard2049]

Is this potentially an outright purchase or a loan with an option to buy in the summer?

Think we should do the latter, a double deal for him and Giroud...

One had one trophies and played Champions League. The other needs a loan.

 

[granter79]

Has it?

Most agree it has. not a complaint just pointing it out. Them across the park in the same boat

 

[diggerdestroyer]

Would perfer to give lookman game time and see how he goes till end of season. (This season is finished and should be used to give fringe players a decent shot. Lookman etc. )

In saying that he is better than lennon. So if walcott comes in lennon needs to be shipped out. He would improve our squad and the idea that we can attract superstars is a non idea. So walcott and the likes are going to be linked.

Of course he’s better than Lennon, lennon should be anywhere near our first team it’s a disgrace that he is.

I would rather give Lookman a run of games in the team it’s the only way he’ll improve.

 

[Big Fat Sam]

We need to be signing players to fill the gaps and get to where we planned to be last summer. One more striker, one more centre back, a left back and an exciting winger and we'd suddenly be looking like top six material.

With so many players able to leave without affecting the squad, we should be able to generate enough money to fund a lot of that.

owner has said a lot over the last while , all taken with a pinch of salt. Like what he is doing and has done for the club but im realistic to know the way things are been run transfer wise and all points to keeping it tight. Again doesn't bother me but don't to fooled into thinking otherwise

One has his career behind him one in front of him
