Theo Walcott

Captain

Yeah, he'll get better.

Bold Tone

Thanks BW, but the question also is how can the coaches get him to improve those weaknesses you listed as they have been the same weaknesses for years.

Captain

His first touch and ball control have come on leaps and bounds already. Vision won't improve and decision making comes with age and experience.

Burnwinter

Nope. Just think he'll get cannier about what he's good at.

Shit game against Nagoya Grampus and he still latched beautifully onto that ball and finished elegantly. That's his game.

True, but is it unfair to want him to improve more, at his age, as we definitely could do with him improving his wing play in tight spaces especially as i cannot see Wenger consistently playing him upfront.

Burnwinter

Yeah, Tone, that'd be a bit harsh. We'll have to deduct ten points from House Gryffindor if you expect too much of him on an internet forum. 🙂

Bold Tone

😆 ok. Flurry over. As you were.

I spend most of the season thinking Walcott should be dropped/sold if that helps. 😐

Timbob

Me too! If that helps.

Bold Tone

If we end up getting Suarez, Theo will be useless as i think his game is the least compatible to Suarez's.

Captain

Can't have two greedy shits.

Bold Tone

Suarez constantly ignores Raheem Sterling's runs as will be the case for Theo, if they played together.
Giroud plays the one-two much better, so he would be more compatible to Suarez.

There's a reason he ignores Raheem Sterling's runs, because he's shit and he doesn't trust him. In fact he doesn't trust most of his teammate with the ball

Captain

The reason is that he is a greedy ball hog.

Gurgen

He was a greedy ball hog at Ajax and he will be a greedy ball hog wherever he goes next. Most of the time he doesn't see what's around him anyway.

Then he'll love us and we will love him.

His decision-making is downright shocking for someone with so much individual skill.

But he is ice cool infront of goal
