I can't agree with that at all. Sterling is always involved and has run games in the past for Liverpool. He is playing a different role for City but you can see from his goals and assists record that Guardiola has improved him massively. Half the time you only know Walcott is playing when he misses a good chance.

Walcott lacks the footballing brain of Sterling, Walcott could NEVER play in a Guardiola side that focuses on possession. Walcott is not an especially good finisher - as proved by his wastefulness. The law of averages dictates that if you have as many chances as Walcott, you will score a few goals. Technically Walcott is nothing special at all. They play different positions, Sterling is not as far forward as Walcott, but has added goals to his game now.

Cripps on his blind fanboy stupidity :D . Even Alexis and Mesut won't go for a combined fee of 70 million this January.

We should pay a club 10 million to take Lolnut. Or offer to pay all his wages for any week he starts a game and plays for 75minutes for his new club. :D


........ 1 - nil to The Arsenal

Agreed walcott is not worth 70 millions. We have two players who are worth this Sanchez and giroud. Maybe kos if he was younger...

Wait, don't you rate Chambers and Jack?....

Nothing more needs to be said


Lol .. don't get started with players we rate .. you rate Ospina over Cech, Mertesacker over Koscielny and Ramsey over Cazorla

100 goals in 11 years isn't special for a right winger (part time striker) btw. By this logic Giroud should be in your list too for scoring 100 goals in 5 years.


See this is where Theo haters fall flat on their face, you can slate every area of his game you want and some of it, maybe a lot of it could be true .......... but Theo's goal scoring record for this club as a RW stands up to almost if not any RW we've ever had at AFC.

Starmand can chip in at any time but I'd guess Theo's scoring tally is around or exceeds the likes of Pires, ljungberg, Arshavin, Gervhino, Nasri ........ in fact I'd be interested to hear of a winger we've had who's scored more bar maybe Sanchez on time served vs goal tally.

This is where Theo luvers are blind .... 65 EPL goals in now his 12th season? there are defenders who have scored more ....

If you compare him to top am's/wingers he's a million miles away .... having players of this calibre sucking up huge salaries for over a decade is exactly why we're slipping down the ratings .... title winners - title challengers - top four - top six .... how low can we go?

Read this - http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2640566-uefa-euro-2016-br-200-top-30-attacking-midfielders-and-wingers and this guy is bias towards Arsenal .... Theo rightly doesn't make it in the top thirty ....

Walcott has scored 107 goals in 12 seasons for us, Pires scored 84 goals in 6 seasons.

Gets worse Pires 84 in 189 versus Walnut 107 in 388 .... how is that in anyway "around or exceeds the likes of Pires" it's not even feckin' close, Pires was in a totally different class to Walnut .....
