Transfer Rumour Theo Walcott

[NCLBlue]

Just read their forum comments on it. I find it funny that Arsenal still think they're a fearsome club.

Meanwhile all of their good players are leaving or want to leave for bigger more relevant clubs.

I'd find it funnier if we weren't doing the same thing and still not as good as them.

Theo Walcott: Why I'm a Liverpool Fan (lfc.tv)
Paul Rogers 20 June 2006

Theo Walcott might be a newcomer to the international set-up but the Arsenal striker has revealed how as a young Liverpool fan he once met his Kop heroes - including current England team-mate Michael Owen - thanks to Chelsea, of all clubs.

The youngster - rated the most exciting prospect to emerge in English football since Wayne Rooney - has never hidden the fact that he's a massive Liverpool supporter and even when Chelsea laid out the red carpet for him as a youngster, he used the opportunity to meet his real idols.

"I was playing in a tournament for Swindon when Southampton and Chelsea showed an interest," recalls Walcott. "Chelsea invited me to be a ball-boy for a game against Liverpool and it was fantastic to meet my heroes Michael Owen and Robbie Fowler.

"I was a Liverpool fan simply because my dad followed them. Unfortunately I wasn't born when the team had their golden era, but I enjoyed watching the likes of Michael Owen, Robbie Fowler and Steve McManaman when I was growing up. When Liverpool won the Champions League last year, I went mad. I was shouting so loud I think I woke up the entire village where I live!"

Seem to remember reading in the Southampton echo that Henry was his his hero and I remember all my mates saying he was the next best thing about to come through and saints turned down 4m I think when he was 15.

I never believe a single word I read on football forums though mate...

 

[Neiler]

Its about pace really and the counter, you can see Sams plan, tough to beat and then counter.

Bolaise and Walcott on each flank, Gylfi at 10. Rooney in behind at 8 in transition. Thats appears on paper a fair bit of amo for Tosun.

In the future we have Lookman and Henry in support. before you look at the Dowells of this world.

He really can balance a squad cant he.

Who cares as long as he gives 100% to Everton. A fan ran down a contract and costed the club £20m. Who’s worse?

 

[GwladysBlue]

it's an excellent team.

@roydo can you threadmark this

Done mate.

 

[BlueToff]

Martina's been awful, mate. As most people correctly predicted. Our defence has improved because we play 9 men behind the ball (minimum) most of the time and because Gylfi has done a good job of covering for Cuco (something I personally don't think he gets enough credit for). He didn't improve the squad, he wasn't low risk. He's a shocker. At the Burnley game, right in front of me, he did something I have never seen on a football pitch, professional or otherwise. He was quite tight to Brady and he turned his back on him and ran towards our goal, leaving Brady to cross the ball unchallenged. Since then, perhaps because I'm looking for it a bit more, I've seen him do the exact same thing on two further occasions. The man has no idea how to defend and yet, somehow, he plays in defence for Everton football club every game.

Anyway, Walcott. Expensive but probably the sort of player we need if we're flogging Lennon and Niasse.

He has been atrocious at times but defensively in the first few weeks of Sam's tenure, he improved. Weirdly enough, I'd back him in a one-on-one with most players we go up against (not the top teams evidently). He isn't good enough. He's massively limited and at the moment not having a left-back capable of using his left foot or getting past the half-way line is killing us. I get that. I'm not disputing it - we need massively better but it is what it is and if we hadn't got him in, who would we have been playing there?

This comment:

'Tbh though since he's become a dad he's lost his killer instinct a bit though.'

What does that even mean !?

 

[AsiaAsia82]

Not for me, unless he's left footed and can defend well.
