Yes if we can find one who can beat full backs and whip in decent crosses to our new big striker. Walcott can’t cross his fingers!! He can beat a man with pace then that’s when it goes tits up

Tosun is not a target guy and is not going to be heading ball in very often, so might want to get that idea out of your brain.

Whether he is or isn’t he WILL most certainly will be heading the ball in this team. So you can get that one out your head.

We spent £30mill on Bolasie who's never played at a level Walcott has and ticks that box.

Additionally, Walcott is more of an attacking wide forward (suits more our current system) than just a "cross a ball" merchant.

We've got Siggurdson to cross one in on to a big man.

Again...zero issue with this if it happens. "Stopping Lookman's progression" isn't a good enough excuse.

Would actually like it if this happened. He's a decent goalscorer, faster than what we currently have, can play up front or out wide. Can see the sense in it if he's to compete with Lennon and DCL, but not if it pushes Vlasic and Lookman further down the pecking order.

Having said that, it doesn't exactly buck the trend of uninspired Steve Walsh signings, but we all know that he's a fraud now anyway and who even cares about Everton anymore?

It’s not an excuse, Walcott is struggling to get in a slightly above average arsenal side, is around 29 years of age and past his best. He has scored 65 goals for arsenal since joining them in 2006, that’s 11/12 years of playing for arsenal he has 65 goals!!!
 
When you consider how crap we have been for the majority of the season, the chance of adding Theo Walcott to our squad is a no brainer for me. Quality player and boy do we need some more quality. Couldn't care less about the cost as its not my money. He will improve us so get it done and get him in.

He's actually scored 108 goals for them. So 108 goals in 11 years for a wide man.
