Liverpool are in for Walcott? by KJ
The latest Arsenal transfer news over the last two days has come from the Liverpool camp. They’ve shown interest in our English winger, Theo Walcott. Brendan Rodger has shown real intent to fix up the mess that Kenny “King” Dalglish has left at Liverpool with the impressive signing of Fabio Borini. Now it looks like his next step is to update his old wingers with the fresh pace of Walcott.
Walcott has always frustrated the fans. Personally, I never really understood why. I have always accepted that Walcott would never be a massive player but an important cog to the team. Maybe it was because that ridiculous media hype he received during the 2006 World Cup.
He has steadily been improving over the last few seasons with him only managing (roughly) 10 goals/assists for his first 4 seasons before stepping it up in the 2010-2011 with 22 goals/assists. He improved on it this season gone by with 24 goals/assist. He clearly is improving as the seasons go by, especially when he managed to double his end product in 2011.
He is learning and I must reiterate, he’s only 23. He still has 3-4 years before he hits his prime. With that type of growth, Theo could be churning 30-35 goals/assists a season. That’s ridiculous for a player that is constantly dismissed by the fans. We would be stupid to lose that type of potential. He would absolutely cripple teams in years to come.
Onto the rumours of him going to Liverpool – I just can’t see it happening. Yes they are interested but Walcott would be a fool to move. He not only gets the expertise of Wenger to guide him but he gets to grow in the biggest competition in Europe; something Liverpool can’t offer. Not to mention that they weren’t willing to stump up the money for Siggurdson’s wages, how could they meet Walcott’s £100k wage demands? I don’t see him actually making that at Arsenal. We probably will negotiate him to an £85k contract which is very good business for an extremely promising individual.
