If City get involved, the price will go higher than it should.
10 million is a good price for him.

If he wants more than £75k a week, he can fuck off.
Worth 12m max.
He's a good player in my opinion. Doesn't deliver consistently enough to be worth more but when his head is screwed on he can impact the game in a positive way. Has pace to burn and at his peak age now he may well fit our system.
Think he's worth a punt but fear City can offer the wages/fee him and arsenal are looking for. Having said that, if all is to be believed, he is a liverpool fan, he will get games under us, and won't be a bench warmer here as opposed to city.
lets see what happens.

Paid 12.5m for him...they shouldn't be getting anymore than that tbh.
Then again there's city.
Really?
He's still available - they could get him (he'll end up at Fulham or West Ham I think).
Really, that much?? That's a bit sobering for Wenger!
The fact he is right footed, and it seems that Rodgers would prefer to have a left footed player on the right wing.
If Rodgers buys him, I don't think it really matters.
Meh players don't contribute to 46 goals in two seasons. He's significantly better than some of our fans give him credit for.
Yeah, and neither did Walcott.
17 in 65 by my count, admittedly not bad on paper, but play sterling 65 times and I'd expect a similar return from him....at 17.
Yep, for some reason Walcott is really unfashionable, I don't get it. He's a boyhood red, he has bags of end product and he's always going to give a defender something to think about. for £12m, he'd be fantastic. His biggest weakness is he's got a bit of headless chicken syndrome at times, I really think Rodgers can improve that side of the game for him a lot. A big yes please here.
21 goals and 30 assists in the last two seasons, thats a fantastic return and one of the best for his position in the league. Sterling would not match that.
From the right wing he scored 13 with 9 assists the season before last. Last season it was 11 with 13 assists. That's 46 goals he contributed to in the past two seasons.
I don't know why some people have a blind spot where he's concerned.
League:
10/11: 9 goals, 7 assists.
11/12: 8 goal 11 assists.
That's without CL or FA Cup. Those goals count too.
Yeah, that might well be true. Who?
Google "Theo Walcott stats" first link. In the league it's 17 and 15 over two seasons, which is also fantastic.
I'm probably one of those people Outlaw. He always seemed more of an athlete than a footy player at times and prone to punt the ball and chase after it. I know he's probably better than that, has improved and should take into account he's still only 23.
Mystic, no it isn't, it's 17 (as I and Outlaw have posted) in 63/65 (different counts on different sites).
It is a good return for a 'winger' but as I've said I'd expect the raw 17 year old we've currently got to get a similar return if he started that many games. £10M is a central striker, not a wing forward who has always cried about being played there and wants £80k a week.
He has definitely improved. As you know, once you get a label in football, it's hard to shake it.
For my sins I watch a lot of Arsenal. A good friend of mine is an Arsenal fan, so it's discussed quite a but. He's not the same player he was after he joined from Southampton as a striker and was shifted out wide. He's much better playing through the middle, but he has learned to play out wide. That's why he's getting so many goals and assists. Van Persie fired the gun, but Walcott loaded it and pointed it at the target many times.
He's still sensationally quick, but he's not as headless as he once was. There's still a bit of that, but that's usual when your body travels quicker than your mind. Don't forget, he's younger than players like Spearing. Just because he has had a load of experience at the top level, it doesn't mean he can't add to his game. He has added to his game.
He's so much better than he's given credit for these days. Maybe three or four seasons ago, but he was 19 then. What do people expect? Like I say, though, in his last two seasons he has contributed to forty six goals. That's special.
Hey, if we do sign him I'll be right behind him all the way mate. I don't see it though. I think we're skint
