Transfer Rumour Theo Walcott

[bluestevon]

So we buy Walcott for £20m and Arsenal replace him with Malcolm for the same amount... hmmmm

Tbf, not a fan of Walcott, but this Malcom lad doesn't look anything special either, reckon he will struggle massively as he's as one footed as they come and looks about 7 stone

Is any player ever good enough for Everton?

i quite fancy that Neymar lad

 

[Dyo1878]

He's a less skillful, less hard working Aaron Lennon. No heart, no hunger, no desire, no footballing intelligence no creativity and basically a kick and rush winger. Unless we were getting him for £5mil I don't think he's a smart use of our limited transfer funds.

Kick and rush winger who scored 19 goals last season. I'd be surprised if lennon has scored many more than 19 in his whole career

We need defenders Samuel

!!!DEFENDERS!!!

Gylfi is better, like.

But yeh, I'd certainly welcome Walcott.

Do think Lookman needs a loan though, if Walcott does come in. The lad needs game time and to strengthen up a bit. If he can replicate anywhere close to Dowell's form at Forest, it'll be a success.

Also, while I don't think we'll actively look to sell him, isn't Lennon out of contract come summer? May well be the case that we've had an offer in and both parties are interested in it.

Lennon is a no brainer for any team in a relegation scrap (we aren't), he has the right attitude, works his arse off and as shown when he first arrived with us (both times) he actually tends to hit a purple patch for 6-8 games after moving clubs.

Funny fact: Yannick Bolasie has scored a grand total of 23 league goals since 2010.

That's an absolutely vile return. Which divvy ok'd shelling 27m out for this turd?

Burnley were touted in the summer Ste and I think he would be perfect for them if we did end up selling.

He has an attitude problem and would disrupt the team. He goes missing sometimes. Not good enough for us. If we went for him I would pay no more than 6m. lol

Woeful return goals wise isn't it but tbf I like Bolasie but that might have more to do with the absolute sterile dross I've watched over the years so anything resembling a stepover I get a tad too excited

I can't remember Lennon ever scoring 19 goals in a season, though

 

[Nymzee]

Wouldn't say no like...

 

[bluestevon]

While I agree i'd rather a little younger than 28-29, however, we do need players in their peak, not potential or experience.

Question becomes though - not all players peak at the same age, and is Walcott 'past his peak at 28', thats the thing to be wary off, a 24 year old Walcott i'd have zero complaints with, this just has a feel of Aaron Lennon mark 2 (albeit he was better at his peak by a way than Lennon)

That's the worst summary of a player I've ever seen in my life. Is Lennon skilful?

 

[bluestevon]

Still waiting for Walcott to peak, tbh.

Short-termism is always the downfall of this club.

Contrary to that IMO, i think on at least 4-5 occasions the lack of a short term approach has cost this club massively, 2-3 times under Moyes as short term approach in a January could have seen us in the CL or win a cup maybe, same under Martinez.

IF Walcott is the type of short term solution to anything though is another matter.
