2020/21 Theo Walcott

[Papa Shango]

forgot to include him only breaking into double twice in his entire PL career

Do wide men regularly score 10+ goals a season?

I'm sure a couple do but its not that common.

in successful attacking sides, yes they do

There seems to be some confusion as to which club Walcott plays for.

I hope Everton are not contributing to his wages while them weirdos are sitting in 3rd place

It depends doesn't it. Ryan Giggs played wide for a very successful side but I don't remember him scoring 10+ goals a season all that often.

let’s not compare Ryan Giggs to Theo Walcott, that’s just totally ridiculous. Whilst you’re trying draw comparisons on their goals scoring records from the wings, it’s totally mute considering giggs was by one of the most skilful players in the league for over a decade.

To be fair so is that of Richarlison this season

Think of future seasons, Richie is a lot younger.

I think we are.

I did not make a comparison. Mentioning two different players is not drawing a comparison.

I am just saying that not all wide players at good sides score 10+ a season.

We definitely are

It was reported at the time that we were paying 50% of his wages to get him partially off the books

Crap

I’ve never seen revisionism like this. Some of you need to remember that an Everton players worth is reflected by how they play for Everton.

 

[greener]

Seen all his games for Saints, he's playing 'ok'.

He's seen as good value because Everton are paying half his wages and there's no fee involved even if he signs for them next season. Still struggling a little to adapt to their system but the expectations are different there, not lower but different.

There never was any evidence that Walcott was a prolific or natural goalscorer, so you use his talents to your best advantage. His value to this Saints team is direct running and link up play. He's not superb, but good, their manager's main skill is getting players to understand the job he wants them to do.

Bear in mind many Saints supporters wanted him dropped in favour of Redmond against Arsenal. Fans, what do we know eh.

 

[Toffeelover]

If Saints want him permo like do we get a fee?
