He'd be daft to stay. Only problem for Walcott is he will struggle to be a number 9 elsewhere. I feel like his best options in terms of striking positions and prestige are probably Liverpool, Milan or Juventus. With all due respect, at this juncture, I do not think that any of these great clubs is in a better position in terms of European football landscape, other than the fact that Juve can win Serie A.
I suspect that's why we are taking our time with the deal. Meanwhile, Gazidis, sits in his office, watching dressage on the sports channel and counting his money, while his assistant rubs mango butter into his head.
