Wishlist Theo Walcott

[BenIsLegend 475]

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 :/

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.

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

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

tired back 4

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.

Would be better to just get a real striker, someone who has played in the position more than 5 times like Walcott.

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 concerns

and 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

We need a reliable 2nd option to Torres, and i don't see Walcott as that. Would you start Walcott as striker away at Man utd? or Man city?

[J.F. 1,484]

kalou is hazard for walcott

[Kojo 4,676]

Walcott is a decent player, i wouldn't say no. However if we can't benefit him enough on counter attacks and use his pace as an advantage then it's pretty pointless even getting him.

Arsenal fans are stupid, they want players like him gone and don't appreciate how much they do for their system and how vital they are to the team.

you are right i would not but again he wouldn't be seen as our be all end all i just think we need more strength in other areas and he could do a job until june..

I think he will be a good option against tiring defenders plus he is very effective as a winger as well.
