Except that Walcott hasn't been playing through the middle during that period, but predominantly on the right as per. I said in the post you quoted from that I can see him doing a job on the right for us, and if he himself were happy with that I'd be OK with us signing him. He won't be, so I'm not.
Newcastle have shown how far that kind of money can go.
Hopefully we get a papa cisse type of signing
If that's true, FSG are doing a good job of ruining their investment.
I'd like to see the captain on the right when Lucas returns. This will also enable Allen and Sahin to play further forward.
Do you remember how Eto'o played in Barcelona? Getting on the end of every through ball, getting at least a couple of clean 1 on 1 chances with a keeper in almost every game, and by the threat of his pace, keeping defenders' line closer to their goalkeeper, thus pushing the whole opponent's team back, where they can only defend. That's the type of player Walcott can be for us.
We're full of nice guys and cunts
That's a good point. For all his finishing ability, somehow Walcott doesn't strike me as ruthless. Or a winner.
To be fair, it's hard to become a winner at Arsenal.
Tongue in cheek, I'm sure, but Henry, Pires, Viera, ljungberg, Wiltord, Fabregas, Petit, etc, etc. were all winners.
That was in a different era. When was the last time they won any trophy?
Eto's was one of the greatest strikers of this generation. I will be stunned and deliriously happy if Walcott signs and becomes half as effective as Eto'o.
Neymar pls.
As long as we pulled another striker I would be more than happy with Walcott , and anyone turning their nose up at the prospect must be a little deluded as to our current position, we have a top class player wanting to leave a better team than us to join us.
Iif played as a striker he really could be another Michael Owen, OK, like little Mikey he does over rely on pace , and when that goes he would be no more than an average player, but he has four top years in him.
Look at the Arse fans, they really don't want to lose him.

Being a winer is about mentality, not about whether you've lifted a trophy or not.
Scum and Barca haven't been disappointed in the slightest, having bought your idea of 'losers' in Van Persie and Fabregas. Because they're winners.
Walcott is fairly injury prone, a bit lightweight, not actually shown himself to be a striker BUT.... fast as fuck and definitely more dangerous than what we have and would give us more options... a no brainer for me... unless of course Rodgers and the scouting team have spotted an unheralded diamond we dont know about somehwere
So we're back to the "he's better than what we've got" argument. Walcott would undoubtedly come in and improve our team and if we had a better team to begin with I wouldn't necessarily be against it... but I reckon we can get better value for money.
David villa is doing very well again!
Arsenal fans actually seem split as to their opinions on Walcott, but as I said earlier, so long as he comes in addition to proven strikers it would be fascinating to see if he develops here. Maybe he's just pissed off with Wenger but in recent interviews he's seemed a bit steelier than his image suggests.
Depends how much that money is really. His wage demands seem high though.
Might sound weird in this day and age but, is there any possibility we could possibly play 2 strikers in the same game?
Do we have two ?
He'll be 31 in december but great signing none the less, he'll want a big wage packet though..
I would have half of the players in our squad put to death just for a chance to sign David Villa.
He's fucking brilliant and regardless of age would take us up a notch or two.
We're not going to sign him though... so Downing can sleep easy... till Dantes gets him.

Fool me once, shame on you! Fool me twice....when's he signing Buddha? *Excited smiley!!!!*
