2018/19 Theo Walcott

[BlueStevie35]

That's what I said. Nothing to do with Walcott. at all. Paulie has an agenda.

Err Steve it was Walcott who made the touch on mate, had he left it Keane had it covered, as such it pinged off him

Classic Everton transfer, pay over the odds for a player that the top 6 don’t want just about to come off his peak. He has a few good games then thinks he’s done enough to warrant automatic selection which he gets at Everton because we never have a manager with the balls to drop experienced players.

Weird move buying him in the first place.

I do like the lad, but it's plain to see he just isn't up to this level anymore.

 

[Daytripper]

Too inconsistent and in my opinion he hides when things are not going well. Anonymous. He’s not the answer long term.

 

[Lapeno77]

Ask Southampton to take him. Money optional.

Shocked we haven’t brought in Mata. Classic Ev signing.

Great assistance for their goal by him, and Keen...,

It's a strange one with this guy. Last year when we had a very negative style of play there were games he looked incredible. I remember thinking this guy is pure quality and why would Arsenal want rid. Such pace and skill effortlessly beating players in the box. I thought due to our new attacking style he would really flourish but its gone the other way. Now I don't know if he's lost his pace or he maybe he is scared of injury etc. What I do know is his body language seems unconcerned when things go wrong for him. It's difficult to see why he is still in the side other Marco believes he is still the best in his position at the club.

Defended him for far too long because of the balance to the team.
But even that doesnt outway how poor he is , brings nothing at all to the team.

Keane had it covered without the added touch

Walcott isn't good enough I am baffled as to why Marco Silva starts him, he's had one decent game this season.

 

[CRIMHEAD]

This is the type of transfer Brands would NEVER have made.

Think he could be fine coming off the bench and running at folks with pace. But his touch and decision making just isn't good enough. Needs some help from his RB, but just not the answer. You'd think he'd be a great inside forward type in Silva's preferred system, but he's clearly not up to it.

Because he doesn't have another right inside forward. He'd play Bernard there, but as he's stated before, Bernard plays more like a wing when he's out right. That's problematic when you don't have a CF who can finish well.

Everything about it was a typical Allardyce buy, older player on large wages who has faded but on their day potential to be very good.

6 goals in 35 appearances from the third biggest goal threat in our starting XI. Huge problem.
