It’s weird when you see a player week in week out and take him for granted. Remeber when he signed? The improvement to our right hand side was immense , and , he wasn’t playing at the top of his game. I remeber him looking good on the ball, working hard, getting his head up and looking for someone to be somewhere and seeing nobody, looking up expecting to see someone actually moving like they did at Arsenal. He scored a few goals, he’s got a couple this season and a couple of assists. We signed him for 20m which is a cheap fee for a PL player these days. So we can’t use his price tag to bash him with like people do for siggy, so it must be his workrate? No, because he works hard his attitude? No he comes across very professional and well spoken his injury record? Nope he seems to be injured no more than any other player .... his productivity? 7 games and 2 goals and 2 assists isn’t exactly bad . People seem to remeber the bad things and take the good for granted. His control was off the last two games he could have scored at the Emirates and played badly imo, but he hit two shots against Fulham , the first being a decent effort imo and got an assist? Yet people knit pick that he didn’t look up before he crossed? When you train with someone everyday you learn things like, when he’s going to cross, where he’s going to be, where he prefers the ball etc. 20m for a player of walcotts attitude, experience, professionalism and productivity is very good value imo. Bolasie cost 27m ffs
