So Theo is the new Osman in here. Some people never fail to amaze me

I dont think anyone HATES walcott...i personally think we should be looking to upgrade his position...due to his age and ability.

Hes not a player who will push us on to the next level. We need that type of player.
 
Walcott -- 72 games in continental competition and 2 FA cups...also 47 caps.

Bernard -- 54 games in continental competition and 10 club trophies. Also 14 caps for a far superior national team where he won a trophy...

Bernard also has 3.5 years to achieve more.

So im not sure how Walcott has had a far superior career...hes had a good one but (like bernard) hasnt fulfilled expectations...bernard still could reach another level, we will see.

Bernard has played in Ukraine his entire career mate, behave yourself.
 
Couldn't care less if Richarlison had already won 10 titles already at the age of 21. It is what we see on the pitch and Walcott has shown easily enough to say that he is a plus in the team and not a negative.

Then discuss that with @DannyEvo ? As thats the discussion point he made...im simply countering it.
 
He will get us double figures every year. He's guaranteed for a solid return of goals. And he has the pace that scares defenders and creates space for others. That's why he was a total no brainer at 20m.

But he did only cost 20m. He's not world class. He's going to have the odd bad game. He's not going to score every good chance he gets. He will go through dips in form. Because if that wasn't the case, then he would have cost more like 120m.

Just be grateful we have a genuine goal threat with a strong pedigree, who defenders are wary of on our right flank, and not Yannick Bolasie or Aaron Lennon.
 
Stop being pedantic.

The Brazilan and Ukrainian leagues are nothing compared to the Premier League.

You made the comparison... lol

If you think we should keep Walcott and not aim for better then thats up to you.

Some wanted to keep Bolasie and Baines in the 11...
 
We can improve every player on our team if you have 2 billion pounds and the ability to force world class, elite players to sign for a club who are not in Europe and who haven't won their domestic league in 31 years.

Id be happy with the same level brands signed in the summer.

We can aim for better, I don't think anybody has any problems with that. If we went out in January and we signed the future Ronaldo then nobody would complain that Walcott was not getting game time.

However, where we are at this moment Walcott is a very good player for us and can continue being very effectivefor a decent period of time until we are in a position to improve (in my opinion) . I find it hard to believe that it can't be acknowledged that at this time he is a very good player for us.

In a years time we may specifically be talking about improving on Richarlison & Bernard ;)
 
I simply think that we can improve on the right side.. not knocking anyone.

We can basically improve every position. That is what football is all about. It comes down to scouting or affordability. We paid 20m for Walcott which I believe is a good price for someone of his ability. It wasn't a gamble we knew what he was like and he is still a good player. If we can afford a better player then we go for it and that applies to every current player but first thing is first....strengthen where we are at our weakest and Walcott doesn't fall into that category.
 
Hold on, what HAS walcott achieved thats so superior to Bernard and Richarlison?
Walcott has something like 60 premier league goals. Richarlison hasn't hit double digits yet and Bernard has 0. At this point Bernard has put in 1 good performance from the start of a game. If anyone is losing their place this week it is him. Not that I don't think he is good but to pretend he is more established than Theo is nonsense.
