Theo Walcott

The signing on fee makes sense if it's needed to induce him to sign. Bearing in mind we're protecting a potential significant transfer value (say £20m) we'd otherwise lose if we don't sign him.

Chamberlain on Theo

“It was amazing,” he said. “You could see after his first goal, he had a spring in his step. He was sharp and he was good going forward
“He’s been like that all season. He’s been brilliant for us and he’s stuck to his work really well with all the speculation going on. He’s a great professional, he’s a good mate and he’s a good lad around the dressing room.
“He’s been brilliant for us and we need him to carry on doing that for as long as he can. All the boys need to do that for as long as we can. We’re all working together and trying to stick some good results together.
“It’s hard for anyone to defend against someone with his pace When he gets the service, he can always punish teams. In training he’s no different. He’s doing really well
“When he first came, he was training with players like Henry. I’m sure he’s learnt off the best there. He’s [been] getting better and better from when I used to watch Arsenal to the man he is now.
“He’s still only 23 and he’s got such a mature head on his shoulders. He’s a really good professional and he shows that on and off the pitch. He’s a really good person for us to have around."

I suppose you can never really tell how genuine players are when they speak about each other but in general the other players do seem to respect Theo.

He's had that side-foot finish even from his Soton days. Don't know why the Henry thing was brought up in relation to that.

Probably because Henry is training with us and it seemed the most obvious thing for commentators to say?
Some of them were going on as if Henry had literally been able to possess Theo's body and magic him into a hat trick merchant in the space of a few days.

It makes sense as every Arsenal fan in the world was screaming: "do whatever it takes!" - who could complain when we actually do?

Theo Henry

Sign him up

TomasCR

23 years old for fuck's sake, still so young and has time on his side. Must keep.

Well hopefully we'll pay Theo a shit load and the club will wake up and sort these things out a bit earlier in future.

Thierry scored as many goals for Arsenal as Chamakh did in the whole of 2012. 😆

lorddulaarsenal

More important strikes too

Kos has scored as many as Gervinho 😆

GaelForce

Confirms that Theo's becom(ing)e a 20-goal a season man, mostly from the right.

So Theo scored as many goals as Perse in twice the time. Cool.

Player contracts don't run down because the club is asleep. It can't force players to sign.

Theo should have been sold ages ago tbh.

Thought Gervinho scored 6 this season? He didn't score any last season?

TomasCR

Rosicky our second best scorer in the CL wohoo.:\

Went to the ACN in the New Year, and then didn't score at all after he got back - after that penalty horror show in the final.

Apart from the last 3 goals, not as a centre forward.

And then?
