Tony Adams spent his whole football career at Arsenal, and never4 dreamed of not signing a contract with the club, but he knows times have changed and fears that the Gunners have messed up by leaving it so long to persuade Theo Walcott to extend his deal.
Adams feels that the poor form that Arsenal are in this season will only make it less likely that Walcott will decide to stay at the Emirates. This would not have been an issue if the club had got him to sign a new contract after getting third place in the Premier league last season, and guaranteeing Champions league football.
“The big one at the moment is Theo, but what incentive has he got?
“I don’t think it helps that he got a hat-trick in the week and then he’s on the bench at the weekend.
“I’d like to see him up front, but I’d also like to see van Persie, Samir Nasri and Cesc Fabregas still at the club.
“You can go back to the days of Ashley Cole going to Chelsea, so many have moved on and are doing jobs for great teams.
“You don’t let them go into the last year of their contracts. Chelsea didn’t do that with John Terry or Frank Lampard. When you have strong players, you put them on long contracts and look after them.”
Adams was captain of Arsenal for 14 years and only David O’Leary played more games for us. He won four league titles and three FA cups with the Gunners and it hurts him to see us struggling now.
Wenger has finally admitted that Theo can play as a central striker, but he may have left it too late. If Arsenal do not turn their form around soon, we could be seeing another star player joining one of our rivals.
