Re: Theo Walcott announces retirement from football

[PairyGrows]

Walcott is earning more than £100,000 per week for sitting on the bench. He's not come close to justifying his wages since 'signing da ting' in 2013. Yet Wenger, for some inexplicable reason, wants Walcott to stay.

Well, actually Wenger's statement isn't inexplicable at all. It fits perfectly to the 'nice boys' culture he's created ar Arsenal. That culture has destroyed the future of our club. No point changing now, I guess.

Lool arsenal are demanding 30 million for him. This club is so badly run by clowns. They never learn.....i still remember refusing 8 million for bendtner and eventually letting him go for free

dreadful but not surprising.

If I have to see him start one more time......

This clown is beyond a joke now, Cripps your boy is sh1te.

[Angelito]

This guy isn't even a footballer anymore. We should pay Southampton to take him.

[GoonerAlexandre]

Funny thing is that Wenger probably started him to increase his value if he scored a goal or two loool

[gooney]

wenger has said he wants him to stay......lool he doesnt and he doesnt rate him. But he thinks he is being so smart. I hope soton calls him out on his bluff and give him public ultimatum. Make a deal by this date or we move on

Southampton probably looking at this game and wondering if they even want a deal.

Please, please get rid of Walcott.

Thinking about (1) his failure to contribute to the team's attack over the years, (2) his high salary cleverly signed after a brief stint of good form (and at a time when Arsenal were desperate not to lose anymore players), and (3) the fact that having him on the books for 10 years while we patiently waited for his alleged world class potential to never materialize likely caused Arsenal to pass on signing other much more talented attackers over the years because Walcott was going to be the next Henry someday..... thinking about all of that is infuriating.
It makes no sense for Arsenal to keep him around.

As for Walcott's perspective, a move to lesser club like Southampton would likely be a good career move. He'd have the clout to demand to play as striker like he always wanted but more significantly, playing at a lesser club would better suit Walcott's best attribute, his speed. Teams fear the attacking prowess of top clubs like Arsenal so they always sit deep leaving little to no room to run into. At Southampton, opponents don't fear their attacking ability and therefore they don't park the bus, they actually come out and play. Point being, at Southampton Walcott would regularly have much more room to run into and therefore could finally make use of his one outstanding trait, his speed, creating opportunities to shoot (and embarrass himself on a more regular basis by displaying how truly poor his finishing is).
Lastly, he'll play more so he'd have a better shot of not missing out on a third World Cup in a row.

Makes sense for both parties. Adios Walcott.
