If you don't buy a ticket you can't win the lottery. We should at least make a bid for walcott. I don't think he'll come personally as i think he'll want champions league football.

Hopefully Rodgers can convince him, he'll be such an outstanding signing.
I'm not that sure to be honest. He doesn't look like a striker imo and I'd rather we buy someone who can play upfront alone with Suarez behind him or on the left. Someone like David Villa.
We currently have the best player in the country playing in that position, why on earth would you want to move him?
He didn't say that he did want to move Suarez.
Yes he did, he says he wants Suarez to play behind him or on the left.
Yes I'd consider moving Suarez to the left or hav him play behind a main striker. Depends on who the striker is mind you.
If it's Kevin Doyle, Shane Long or Jonathan Walters they can fuck off to the reserves. But if it's David Villa or Fernando Llorrente I'd move him.
I could be talking bollocks on this one, but I thought the Arse played a similar formation to us with a 'front 3'? e.g the weekend the played Giroud, Podolski and Walcott in a front 3 with Walcott playing as wing forward?
Heh. I retract my previous statement!
I read that as "someone like Villa" could play on the left, which would be a better solution.
I agree, thats why I want Walcott.
They might have done on Saturday, would explain why Walcott scored again, I've always thought traditionally they play with wide midfielders.
He scores goals and create goals, that's our main problem. I know this is over simplifying, but I'm sure he'll make the difference, his record over the last two and a bit seasons is the up there with the best in the league and speaks for itself.
At the moment, if there was a small fee (say 3-5mill) and 100k per week, and he agreed to play mainly wing forward, and alternate to get some games up top. I'd take him in a blink. If he was on a 5yrs contract, he'd probably cost 20-30mill due to him being english, and the form he's had for the last 18months.
He's certainly a better option than buying an out and out striker that can only play up top and pushing the league's top scorer out wide.
After all this time in the Premier League, many are unconvinced by Theo Walcott (even Arsenal fans). Is that a warning bell I can hear?
Nope, just idiocy. Goals don't lie.
He played wide for most of the match and thats how he got his two assists. he was actually moved into the middle for the last 5 mins or so and thats when he got his goal.
Actually most arsenal fans are saying that its typical arsenal that when their player finally starts delivering on a consistent basis that he's on his final year.
Theo Walcott from the wing forward position:
Year Apps Goals Assists
2011 - 46 - 11 - 10
2012 - 15 - 9 - 7
Which is why I'd be up for it if it was cheap. Cheap cheap, not just cheap.
I think he's fucked mate. Came back after six months out with a cruciate injury and got the same injury two weeks later - now out till next March. All a bit pointless for this season and I'd be worried about his future fitness
Wasn't it the other knee?
I think that would even make it worse.
See! He has bad knees. Next thing it will be his teeth and that's it, career over.
Don't be silly. He's Skrtel.
