Enquiries Made? Eeek.

Good afternoon.

There is a discernible mumble doing the rounds it would appear that we have made serious enquiries about Arsenal’s Theo Walcott. Sure this suggestion has surfaced before. Every rag from the Wall St Journal to War Cry has a run at some stage this year.

Another Arsenal contract running down so there’s a fortnight left on it. But in this instance this guy won’t be heading to United or City. He won’t be linked with a move to Barcelona. But does that mean we should look down our noses at him? I wouldn’t be in hurry to dismiss the idea.

Walcott isn’t the world’s greatest player. I’m not selling him to you as some panacea. Rather I’m thinking we could play him where we played Rafa and add a much needed zap of creativity to a midfield that has been left decimated. The conventional arguments against him joining are worthless. We have Gallas and Adebayor on our books.

He knows the league, he’s motivated and he wants a career. The question is would you ship him in? I would.

    hmmm, i’m not against the idea, however I don’t think he knows his best position, winger, striker or ‘in the hole’ as you suggested h, (has he ever played there?) I certainly wouldn’t drop lennon for him, and i’d rather have Ade and Defoe up top but we are light and a move could breed new life into him and his finishing is getting better. However I just don’t think he’d come to Spurs thanks to some misguided loyalty to Arsenal and his ‘father figure wenger’ unless of course Wilshere is now Jimmy’s I mean Arsenes favourite and the sweets have run dry. To the bindippers as a new ‘super center forward’ is my guess it could work, if it happens I hope it doesnt although he doesn’t rile me as much as most Arsenal players and his birds FAF

    Who the F needs him?

    I mean we have wingers…..backs who are wingers……centre backs who are wingers and a striker who thinks he is a winger.

    Bring him in as a long term replacement for Jermain “47 shots=5 goals” Defoe.

    We’re already exceeding our quota of nearly men, indolent, infirm, weak-willed, idle, unmotivated, inconsistent chancers. Wages is the issue mooted at L’arse and they pay more than us.
    That’s why I’m oot.

    He’s a nice chap and a jolly good footballer
