The Skipper 20,609 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 I'd rather see us go for Darren Bent tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Hard-working winger over selfish twat who is constantly moaning about not playing up front despite being worse than Torres? Deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stats 7,160 Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 I don't see why some people believe Walcott is selfish. He runs all over the pitch and works hard and for his decent goal ratio, provides many assists as well. He managed 12 assists last season, was a prominent reason why RVP scored so many goals and scored 11 goals while this season he has 10 goals to his name already. For a player who has his fair share of injuries and is not always in the starting line up, I think he would be a fantastic addition to the squad here. People underrate his ability to score and create goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samzilla 517 Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Sorry, Theo has "moaned" as much as Sturridge when it comes to playing upfront.Yeah, I mean if Arsenal will just give him a chance he'll be the next Thierry Henry. All kidding aside, I actually like the idea of Walcott in blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fAnta 107 Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 We need a striker not a winger.Like Sturridge, Walcott is a striker. He has said this from day 1 and a big reason for him leaving is that he cant play where he wants a strike. I actually think walcott is at a good stage in his career to come to us. He will be good buy for money. being honest for a few years he was waiting to explode, and if you look at his recent record in the past few months the guy actually has made a big jump.Arsenal have done there job as wenger would say, now he just needs to move to a big club.

Hutcho 8,443 Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 He would be the ultimate through ball reciever...We just put david luiz and lamps in the 2 holding spots and spam L1 + Triangle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvin123 539 Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 rumours doing the rounds saying we have agreed terms with Walcott?just waiting for a credible source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenIsLegend 475 Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Would certainly make playing as Chelsea on FIFA easier with all that pace abuse I would like Walcott here but I don't think he'd be our main striker, would still be a backup to Torres, something he may not be keen on :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nadavTKL 1,787 Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Please make it stop...!!... make it stopppTheo Walcott? ffs, first we have more than enough wingers and AM's (+KDB), so why even talk about him? and second he's such a limited footballer, realy not in the level we want to be. He should join West ham or something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif 6,006 Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Please make it stop...!!... make it stoppp Theo Walcott? ffs, first we have more than enough wingers and AM's (+KDB), so why even talk about him? and second he's such a limited footballer, realy not in the level we want to be. He should join West ham or something...1: Walcott is not a winger or an 'AM'.2: We have only 1 winger if you count Moses. 2 if you count Malouda in the reserves. 3 if you count Hazard being played out of position as a 'winger'. 4 if you include Marin who doesn't really play for us at all.3: We need more English/homegrown players in the squad. Name one better and available English player for us. Unless you think registering Saville for our senior team is better than buying Walcott, of course.

Waterfall 893 Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 I wouldn't mind him. He's versatile enough to be a good rotation option, and not great enough to really threaten Torres and Lukaku (when he comes back). I don't think we desperately need a world class striker in January. Cheap. Quick. Decent finishing abilities. English. Even more upset Arsenal fans. Sign me up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesman2610 1,423 Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 and as it looks benitez gave moses a run at leading the line yesterday.. think about how theo would do coming off the bench with mata and hazard behind him and a tired back 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDY 1,290 Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 That is the main thing here. Saw him start as CF against Wigan, very average.To be fair to Walcott, he's started as many times as a centre forward as Sturridge has for us.I'm all for bringing him in as an alternative to Torres.

Saw him start as CF against Wigan, very average.the thing about bringing in theo is that hes not meant to be the number one he just wants oppurtunities there just like danny.. but he can be a game changer off the bench with that pace played correctly his finishing has vastly improved since he first burst onto the scene and i think with the right mentality he could do a job here especially as he wont be seen as the long term fix to our striker concernsand about his display vs. wigan their style is different than the style we have been playing most recently i would like to see him in our system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you start Walcott as striker away at Man utd? or Man city? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
