Everton Sign Theo Walcott

[Stutheblue]

Lets see how Theo goes. Has had problems with injuries. But he does have pace which we've been crying out for most of the season.
With him, Bolasie and (hopefully) Lookman we do have options now.
Need to sort out the defensive issues now. We all know what they are.

Reasonably happy now he's signed, bit worried Lookman might leave though

Lookman on the wing and Theo centre dash is always an option

Awesome is a stretch. Seeing Cyprus as a relevant game is a stretch.

I don't see any system incorporating both of them working in the PL. They've got a whopping 1 PL goal between them. Personally that doesn't scream "you can't leave me out". I like both but no way are either of them ready for hard 90 minutes of top flight football. Let's tone it down a little.

remind me how many goals lennon and bolasie have this season?

Hence why Walcott is a good signing and not an undeserved hurdle in anyone's career path.

 

[brigadier]

solves part of the pace issue

He will improve us but so would lookman .

Welcome Theo


BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Ha, partly because I am not convinced that Wenger willingly lets players at their peak go. Short of them running their contract down / acting up.

Think Wenger has admitted that he didn't want to lose him but his aspirations to go and play forced his hand.

 

[Wayno]

pace, skill and potential

they were awesome in cyprus and have not looked out of place in the prem when they have featured

If our fans had their way with stuff like this we’d have been relegated with John Paul Kissock, Jose Baxter and Magaye Gueye in the side.

Let’s be honest we have been screaming for a winger and pace for a long time now, them 2 aren’t it.

We are the slowest team in the league, we attack like snails , he may not be everyones cup of tea but Walcott is one if the fastest players in the league and has played and scored at the highest level for over a decade , it will give opposing teams something to think about as now we will be able to counter attack and defenders hate a fast player running towards them . Good luck Theo .

Does he make us immediately better? I think the answer to that question isn't even debatable - it's of course.

So it's a good signing at this time.

Hopefully he stays fit. In this era, we got a pretty good price for his services, a guy who knows how to score goals in the league.

Heh, I'd be amazed if he'd say anything else. Only time will tell.

Wenger wanted to keep him, but couldn't guarantee him game time. This being a World Cup year I think was able to sway him

 

[TonyS]

calling it now

Walcott will start on the right, Bolasie rested, Gylif left wing

 

[AdaBrummieblue]

Just need a LB now and a tall CB around the age of 27 or 28.

28? Way too old mate, he'll be retiring in no time...

...According to some.

Knowing Wenger, he probably didn't see the lad leave.
