Theo Walcott in long-term contract talks by SC
Walcott at times can be the most frustrating player on the pitch but when in full flowing mode he can sometimes be almost unstoppable. Theo over the years has had many critics, many slating his poor crossing or even his general football brain. But in the last few seasons he has started to silence those critics, even when booed by sections of the Arsenal crowd whilst losing to Spurs at home last season he reacted by putting in a sublime second half performance scoring magnificently. For this reason its good to hear that Walcott according to John Cross from the Mirror is in talks with Arsenal to sign a five year contract.
Walcott has had his doubters over the years but in the last two seasons there has been a significant improvement in his play and his ability overall. The first key improvement many Arsenal fans would have noticed is his incredible ability to make the right runs for Song, Fabregas etc. to put a ball through to him. However lets not kid ourselves, he is still far from the finished article and at times his composure can really let him down. One of the key incident being at home to QPR last year, beat the whole defence and did everything right, had so much time to just slot the ball into the net and missed the goal by about 5 yards. This is where he gets his critics from, and to be honest his biggest weakness is himself. Theo is the definition of a confidence player and when he has confidence in his own ability he can be one of the most dangerous wingers in the league. But sometimes a lack of confidence really lets him down which affects his composure.
Arsenal in recent years have lost RVP, Fabregas, Nasri and Song; leaving Walcott as one of the longest serving players for the club. Its important Arsenal do not let another star player leave and keep hold of him, a five year contract would be a real statement of intent from the Gunners board. Although inconsistent at times, Theo is only 23 and is just starting to come into his peak years which with this new contract will be spent smashing in the goals for the Arsenal. He may never silence all of his critics but if he keeps on improving then he really will be a force to be reckoned with in future years to come.
