Rambo 1,729 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Would love Walcott at Chelsea. Genuinely nice guy and a decent footballer. Would be an option for the wing and centre-forward. Let's be fair, he has more about him than El Useless.A few years back I would simply laugh at the notion of having him at our club but considering how weak our strike force is I can't disagree.

Spike 12,049 Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 I think I'd actually prefer him to Sturridge.Swap deal, anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,996 Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 He'd be used rather sparingly here just like he is at Arse, though. Just don't see the point when we have a similar player in Moses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif 6,006 Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 He was incredibly hyped up when he was younger for a reason.He's an amazing talent. Wenger just uses him absolutely terribly. He'll go and score 4 goals in 1 game while bagging an assist and then be benched the next game in favour of Gervinho. So odd.He's the same height as Javier Hernandez, has more pace, is a better dribbler, is more versatile, would hardly cost anything, has over 160 Premier League appearances and could become a very decent finisher. Not many people would turn down Hernandez, would they? So I don't see why Walcott should be turned down without good reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His finishing is underrated and I think in the right team and used correctly he could be a very good player. His pace is obviously a massive bonus!

The only place to be 11,313 Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Walcott and Sagna have been left out of Arsenal's 2013 calender.Fuck - when someone decides they'd rather spend a month looking at Gervinho and his melon-head than you, you're screwed. Personally, I think he's a decent player and he's English which is good for the HG rules. The problem is there's this myth that Wenger can take any youth with talent and maximise it. Problem is, it's bullshit and Walcott has never reached his potential. I don't know if we're the club to do it and I don't know if he'd get the game time but he could still be a really good player.He just needs that little bit of aggression and fight. One thing he'll add over Sturridge - he can pass the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rambo 1,729 Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 I strongly believe he will end up a Chelsea player if Sturridge is to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miracle 249 Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 People forget how good Walcott was (barring injuries) when he was alongside Fabregas and Nasri, players who were able to pick out his runs and made him dangerous. He also forces teams to play deep just by being on the field due to his pace. That being said he is injury prone and not of a position that we require.

Styles 9,790 Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 I'm not a massive Walcott fan but he is a proven Premier League player. Only 23 years old and we need more English player for the FA squad rules. I don't see what the problem is.We only have Moses, Mata, Hazard and Oscar for the attacking positions. What happens if one or two of those players pick up injury? There is something going on with Marin that we don't know about that the club aren't making public. Piazon is irrelevant. Walcott adds depth and competition for places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mak 4,459 Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Not a player I would want us to gamble on and really do see it is a gamble. Right now all I see is a player player for a bigger contract. That's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoSalah 8,898 Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 If its only 10-15 million why the fuck not. Boys fast and has improved his general end product and finishing a lot over the last few years. Plus I'd rather us get him than City/United tbh. Imagine 20 mins left in a game, throw him on against a tired defense his pace could be brilliant. Could be a genius signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDN Blue 7,903 Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 I think I'd actually prefer him to Sturridge.Swap deal, anyone?Why? His whole issue at Arsenal is about him playing as a striker - Like Sturridge. We're not going to play Walcott there if we won't even give Sturridge a chance. It would be the most pointless swap ever, with Arsenal probably benefiting more than us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 why the heck do pacy players like Walcott or Sturridge always wanna play in the middle. They are brillant on the wings but are defo no lone striker or a false 9. They shall run past the defence and cross ffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if Daniel is headed to Liverpool then he could be a decent replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LayZ 201 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Why would we want this guy,maybe to fill our home-grown quota,but what would he contribute as a footballer...We'll have the same issues we have with Sturridge, he wants to play primarily as a striker,we'll probably be slotting him in the wings...he's definitely not proven as a striker...
