Wishlist Theo Walcott

[Rambo 1,729]

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.

Chelsea may test Arsenal's resolve with offer for Theo Walcott

I think I'd actually prefer him to Sturridge.

Swap deal, anyone?

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.

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.

My issue with him was always his end product, but this was watching him on the wing.

I've seen him a few times this season played through the middle and he looks much more effective! 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!

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.

It will boost our english quota , thats about all he is good for.... sorry not a fan think he is overhyped one trick poney.

I wasn't interested in him but he really impresses me this season.

Maybe he is an one trick pony but this pony is extremely fast!

[Rambo 1,729]

I strongly believe he will end up a Chelsea player if Sturridge is to go.

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]

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.

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.
