Transfer Rumour Theo Walcott

[Tubey]

Its not Theo's age that is the problem. It's the fact he had a very bad injury. There's no guarantee Bolasie will be the same. If given the choice would you still pay 20 odd million for him?

What, like four years ago?

He's played 79 games in two years.

 

[toffee-boy]

Everton often do a sleep study just to make sure he gets proper sleep, in order to be his best for tracking back.

I really don't know if your having a laugh or not

What, like four years ago?

He's played 79 games in two years.

And what percentage of games has he started since then?

Plus before then he was an England regular, now he's not either.

Nonsense!!! It’s the correct thing to say when getting offered a belter Contract

Actually it’s the correct thing to say
Which part is nonsense !!! With three exclamation points
Please detail your answer so I can understand

 

[fandjango]

Th

...have to question the winning mentality of the 'many'. What's Big Sam ever won?

My point was not about big Sams tactics or winning things

It was the fact that he is a great coach and one that has worked well with Walcott in the past .... he will I think get the best out of Walcott ... that’s a player capable of 19 goals last season bringing pace and better quality to our attack

Lols at United, City, Chelsea if they sign 29 year old Alexis Sanchez.

The fools.

Sanchez vs Walcott

Hmmmmm

 

[royvernon39]

This deal strikes me as a panic buy - an effort to get an immediate return. If Walcott can knock in a few goals and actually give
a Cenk a decent pass from time to time this season then it will be a success. But the guy is 29 years old and his strength is pace which
given his age is on decline.

Its not my money but I would have gone for a younger, promising winger.

 

[ToePeg]

He's 28 Dave. Ffs. Not about to retire is he. He should be at peak performance at that age and for £20m, in this day and age of astronomical fees, it's a 'kin snip.

Y'all talking about a plan. Here's the plan: Buy better players than the ones we've currently got, buy someone who can score and buy someone who can create as well as score who also has pace to burn, something we, of course, do not have. Hell, even I can work that one out.

Precisely.
We have lots of good young players in their teens and low twenties and quite a few past it in their mid thirties.
Will be nice to get a proven quality player at their prime age.

...ahem....


Walcott was born to a black British Jamaican father and a white English mother.[10] He grew up as a Liverpool fan due to his father's support of Liverpool. When Chelsea asked him to be a ball boy, he used the opportunity to meet his Liverpool idols:

"I was playing in a tournament for Swindon when Southampton and Chelsea showed an interest. Chelsea invited me to be a ball-boy for a match against Liverpool and it was fantastic to meet my heroes Michael Owen and Robbie Fowler. I was a Liverpool fan simply because my dad followed them. Unfortunately I wasn't born when the team had their golden era, but I enjoyed watching the likes of Michael Owen, Robbie Fowler and Steve McManaman when I was growing up. When Liverpool won the Champions League last year,[11] I went mad. I was shouting so loud I think I woke up the entire village where I live!"

can't even say anything when we got sammy lee on the managerial staff

 

[CairnsToffee]

would rather see lookman in there than a nearly man after one last payday

Lookman is nothing more, at the moment as being an impact sub, needs time to mature

Walcott is a his peak, which is what we need

Vlasic is at the moment nothing more than an impact sub at best

The Aussie flu
I blame Millwall really
Trying to sign Cahill

Aussi flu is syphilis mate.... backpackers everywhere!

Props to Steve Walsh for unearthing this gem.

Cannot believe people are trying to convince themselves that this is a good signing. We aren’t going to crack the top 6 by signing their cast-offs.

Reality check, we are not going to crack the top six for three to four years due to the damage made by our former manager, stop dreaming!

Walcott is a great signing, everyone is screaming for pace up front we have Walcott, Tosun and Bolasie, issue we have is someone to give them the ball.

 

[trueblue10]

For the last time
Martina won’t play right back again this season

Or left back with any luck

 

[trueblue10]

We'll see. But I think it's a gamble and sends out the wrong signals about the club: "go to Everton and retire".

He's 28 not 34.
