2017/18 Theo Walcott

The binman chronicles · February 1, 2018

Looks like we have at last found a successor to the Baines/Pienaar axis, ok it's on the other side of the pitch but if him and Walcott stay fit they have shown more understanding in one game than the rest of the team have all season.

He looks really eager to impress and I think this move came bang at the right point for the lad.

As others have said £20m looks a bargain when compared to similar moves this window

If we can keep him free of his many injuries this could be one of the more acceptable signings of the last two years.

Him and coleman are exciting, shame our left side is non existent...

We have Mangala capable of slotting in and coming up with the odd OG or two on that side now. It's a balance of sorts. :coffee:

Gutted that we've got him stifling the progress of Vlasic when he's just as good.

Really ? MOTM, class player and could have had a hatrick, Vlasic is clearly not up to the prem level as yet from the times I have watched him.

Just looks quality, the movement he's learnt at the school of Arsenal is on another level to most in our squad.

Today's market he's worth 40m all day long, I prefer him every time to the Ox.

Him and Coleman were in tune from the first ball kicked lastnight.

He’s a crap Arsenal reject who’s too old has no re sale value and is losing his speed
His hunger and appetite is gone and he’s only here for the money.
Well that’s what some lads say
I’d say on the evidence so far he is our best attacking option and him and Seamus down the right are going to do some serious damage

This is a post I’ll vault when Mangala powers in his first header into the opposition net

I have said from the start that he will be a short term fix.

We need a short term fix because we are in big danger of going down.

But a squad stuffed with them is going to be a problem in years to come.

No we aren't

Hat trick at the weekend, guaranteed.

I'm really hoping he steers clear of injuries, I had a wobble a couple of times last night when he went down, last thing we need is him bringing his injury record with him. He can slot and has pace, I don't understand why people thought at £20m he was overpriced, 100 prem goals isn't too shabby.
