2018/19 Theo Walcott

[abelard]

Hopefully the goals masks his awfulness so a stupid club, like West Ham, will buy him.

I heard West Ham Chattanooga, or some other MLS concoction? That still on?

We beat man united 4-0 in the sunshine and people are complaining that Walcott scored instead of passing....

Had he passed it, Calvert Lewin would've missed.

Happy for him, he gets scapegoated way too much on here. Still a good option off the bench.

Not on his wages though. If he is not a starter we cannot afford him.

....i’ve always liked Walcott so it’s a really good sign that he can’t get in the team.

...I know what you mean, but if we are going to push on I expect our bench will be high earners.

 

[upthetoffees]

Sort of his specialty finish wasn't it? No doubt in my mind DCL would have missed had he passed it... Then we would be wanting to ship him off instead.

This. People say it's great having Walcott and Schneiderlin as backups but they're two of the highest earners at the club

 

[Cmonefcsortitout!]

Far from my favourite player, but well done with his goal.

 

[roy vernon]

...I know what you mean, but if we are going to push on I expect our bench will be high earners.

I see that, but, a player of 30, who's main asset is speed, signed for 20 million and on 5 million per year. Those figures don't add up. His value is only going one way, so, if we aren't going to play him then we should cut our losses.

Apart from the finish, what else did he contribute?

Not being snarky, just cant remember with all the excitement


I was thinking...oh no not walcott...then for him to square it...and finally utter silence and shock.

He shoots from all over the place, misses and has had chances to pass in more difficult situations and never done so.

Not a team player...Southampton are doing so poorly they may need some experience

 

[Billysgingham.]

We need a squad and he is good enough for it and to come on and do exactly what he done yesterday.

You seem to give that wow face out a lot, do you like looking at it.

 

[street end]

Can’t believe people are complaining because the lad actually scored, I mean come on, get a grip. The lad needed a goal himself as well.

 

[street end]

Not on his wages though. If he is not a starter we cannot afford him.

Well obviously we can otherwise we would never have signed him, on the bench, playing or not the wages still get paid.

You mean you didn’t celebrate a goal because Theo Walcott scored it?
