Rooney is shit and has been shit for the last 3 or so seasons only living off his past reputation. He’ll score a long ranger once in a while and convert penalties, but that’s it. He’s got no vision and won’t work in the #10 role. Won’t work in a deeper role as well as his legs are gone.
Theo might work with Sigurdsson, but Allardyce needs to figure how he fits everyone in the team.
Fair play to Theo he knew it was time to move on himself and wanted to go. If it was up to Wenger he’d have probably offered him a new contract so thanks for taking it out his hands Theo.
I’m going to miss Theo, he was hugely frustrating at times, but a big reason for that is that he was capable of being absolutely devastating at other times. I remember after the 2-2 against Barcelona a few years ago Messi saying he was the one player of ours that they just couldn’t cope with.
He didn’t do it consistently enough, but he did give us some important and some great moments.
Are we talking about same Wenger who gave Theo only 63 mins in PL this season and didn’t give him a single start since April?
The future is on Merseyside, but Walcott is hoping to be granted a final request when returning to Arsenal with his new club on February 3 - a more gracious goodbye.
“I have spoken to Ivan (Gazidis) and I am sure there will be something. He’s already sort of told me something might be happening,” said the midfielder.
I hope we do do something really nice for him on his return.
Just buzz my romantic strings Arsenal. Make me giddy.
He’s played 180 minutes for Everton and has 2 goals and an assist now. The guy has a knack for being in the right place at the right time, making good runs, elite level movement, and good finishing. We need adirect runner who can score goals, THAT IS THEO WALCOTT. I guess maybe I’m just a dumb American that doesn’t know his football but Theo has always checked all those boxes and deserved play time over a guy like Laca who I hate watching every week because he’s practically invisible, imo.
At the same time the argument can be made that his race had been run here. The comments last year at Palace and he never started another PL game for us. So I’m glad to see him being successful elsewhere especially considering he’s a class player and didn’t deserve half the schtick he got here. Anyways keep doing your thing Theo, absolute FPL bargain as well, got me 15 points today! THEO THEO THEO THEEOOO!!
Same but I might suggest sample size could use some growth before we say a whole lot about his time at Everton. We’ve experienced a parade of striker misfits the last 10 or so years and virtually all of them had a few short spells of high production.
