Theo Walcott

[Red Dawn]

Because Walcott is english he will not make it. He will have the weight of the world on his shoulders thanks to media hype and ultimately will stop him fulfilling undoubted potential. This is the first time he has done anything noteworthy in a big game. I certainly wouldn't be rushing out trying to buy him on that basis.

I don't get this noteworthy thing.

 

1. He scored against Chelsea (Terry and Carvalho included) in the Carling Cup Final.

2. He set up Adebayour in Milan and frightened the life out of them.

3. He set up Adebayour at Anfield and nearly won it fro Arsenal.

4. He is 19 and has already the youngest ever player for England.

5. He is probably the quickest player in the league.

 

How long are you going to give him to doing "anything noteworthy"?

 

Most knowledgable fans in the world.

[Lario]

He also seems to be filling out a bit, and stayed on his feet well during The Run.

[Spy Bee]

He's potent and he scares the shit out of teams. Who really wanted him to come on last night? Not me!

 

He's still raw and tries a bit too much at times, but I'd love us to sign him. We won't of course, but I'd love it if we did.

[navbasi]

Massive red... his dad was saying in the London Evening Standard how Theo and the whole family are massive reds and Theo still looks for our results BUT he is an Arsenal man now. Said us, United. Chelsea and Real Madrid also wanted him and it came down to who would look after Southampton more. He said, Liverpool wanted Theo not to sign a contract with Southampton so we could get him for peanuts, Theo didn't want to do that to them.

 

He is a red. From Arseweb

 

Arsenal still fucked Southampton over though didn't they. The deal was £5m up front rising to £12m, when Arsenal found out about Southamptons finanical problems they offered them £9m, deal done. Obviously Southampton needed the money so they had to take it meaning the missed out on the extra £3m.

 

I can't see us getting him as why would Arsenal pay the extra £4m they have just paid to tie up any lose ends, if they do sell it's going to be for at least £15m which would be way to much.

Aurelio should have done to Walcott what this cameroon defender did to Caniggia in 1990.

 

Watch the Argie Number 7 the shit bag... Funny as fuck..

WOW.. sign him up that's some achievement in 2 ½ years at Arsenal.

[Rashid]

WOW.. sign him up that's some achievement in 2 ½ years at Arsenal.

 

He is 19 and hardly played though has he? As I said he is younger than all of our "youngsters".. bit of perspective eh.

[Red Nick]

Id prefer we signed him than Henry or Ronaldinho, thats for sure

I'd have Babel over him all day long.... Babel is 2 years older than Walcott.. but I still think that Babel was ahead of him at the same stage of their careers..

 

1. Made Ajax debut at 17

2. Made Champions league debut at 18 and scored in both legs.

3. Made International debut at 18 and went on to score the second goal in a 2–0 victory. The goal made Babel the youngest goalscorer in 68 years for the Netherlands and the fourth-youngest of all time

4. Babbel finished the 2005 season (18 years old) with 7 goals in 20 games.

5. July 2007 signs for Liverpool for £13.5m

6. Played 45 Goals 10

7. International Caps 23 Goals 4

8. Liverpool legend Kenny Dalglish has said that “Babel has the ability to terrorise defenders in the Premier League with his pace and trickery with the ball.”

That still makes me howl with laughter. First challenge, slight knock of stride. Second challenge, serious loss of balance but managing to keep going until....third challenge, attempted murder. Ace stuff.

 

As one of the comments puts it "That was a Mortal Kombat fatality move not Football!"

Why does it have to be one over the other?

 

Plus a player like Walcott would rule the Dutch league.

[navbasi]

He might be younger than all our "youngsters" but is he better than them..

Of course he would, who could argue with the stats on what he's done so far..

[navbasi]

Why does it have to be one over the other?

Because we're not going to spend £15m on Walcott.

Actually he has... 2007/08 season

1. WOW - so did Riise (sign him up..er...)

2. WOW- He had one assist and he scared Italians???...very easy to scare an eyetie. Just tell 'em the world has run out of brylcreem

3. WOW - Well that was actually quite good

4. Thats why he will be ruined. Way too much pressure on a kid that age. Bringing him to the world cup was just stupid.

5. So what, just cause you can run fast doesn't mean anything.

 

Give the kid chance and let him develop.

 

Most knowledgable fans in the world. :whistle:

[bobhorse]

If he had signed for us he would have had two CL winners Medals and a 3rd on the way IMHO

erm have I missed something? :whistle:

[Xabi D]

Id prefer we signed him than Henry or Ronaldinho, thats for sure

 

What utter lunacy! you would seriously prefer a 19 year old kid who can run very fast but has very little footballing awarness to two of the best players who have graced world football over the last 10 years?

[mcflynn]

Ballague is talking shit, no doubt.

[G Richards]

I think bob is saying we'd have beaten AC Milan the second time with Walcott, so that's two, plus another on the way in Moscow.

 

This thread is a strange one. Has there been any sniff of us getting Walcott this summer? I really can't see Wenger selling him, so why are we discussing this?

[navbasi]

I rate him really highly and he is a good red, destined to be a Liverpool player this summer.

 

Someone should have snapped him in half though.

 

This is why it's being discussed G Richards. Look who posted it... :whistle:

[silverlining]

Why does it have to be one over the other?

 

Plus a player like Walcott would rule the Dutch league.

 

How do you know? Why are you so eager to spunk all over him?

 

Walcott's a good player, but to proudly proclaim that he would "rule" in any league is rather premature.

 

Walcott has 57 appearances for Soton and Arsenal and has scored a grand total of .....wait for it.......*drum roll*.........6 goals.

That made me laugh nearly as much as the 'tackle'! To this day that game and that incident still make me roar. That was the Summer before I went to Uni, it was ace, I had chuff all to do mostly apart from drink ale and watch the World Cup...happy days.
