    Predicted in 2007

    Wow! If that's what we thought in 2007, that right there sums up the state of the English game. The only one involved with the England squad is Walcott, and he's nowhere near world class. I don't even think he's a top class premiership player. Not to be overly harsh but I would love to see the current equivalents. We can bookmark it and look back 8 years from now

    If he wasn't really fast I don't even think he would cut it in the champ. He really isn't very good.
    Come off it. He's a fantastic finisher and when he's on form he's completely unstoppable. His problem is a lack of consistency mostly caused by his tendency to get regular injuries. In the 12/13 season when he got a proper run in the side without injury he scored 21 in 43 which for a player generally shunted out on the wing is superb. In 13/14 he was in great form until he got that injury against Spurs. He's still only 26 as well. He's shown that when he stays fit for an extended period the goals flow. He's got a lot more than just pace


    Unstoppable? Ronaldo and messi are unstoppable when in form, not ruddy Walcott.
    I admit he had a good season when he scored 20 off goals, but he was playing up top, for arsenal so you are always going to have a couple of a chances a game.
    No wonder the national team are a joke when bang average players like Walcott are deemed unstoppable.
    He's not bang average though is he? Did you see his hattrick against West Brom this season? Or against Croatia? Or Reading? Or Newcastle? He has the same number of Premier League hattricks as Didier Drogba, Sergio Aguero and Jermain Defoe. When he gets going he tears through defences, he just gets injured to often to keep it consistent. Do you really think that a player you said wouldn't cut it in the Champ (Simon Church maybe) would score 21 goals for Arsenal because he played up top for Arsenal? No. That's silly isn't it. 'I can only speak from experience but he was one of the most dangerous players I have ever played against'. That's Leo Messi by the way

  • Good player, perhaps would mean putting JBG on the left though which isn't ideal.

    Depends, with the signing of Makienok maybe we're
    Going to be playing a lot on the wing and crossing in as opposed to peeters preferred method of cutting in and shooting

    Or perhaps, rather than because we signed a tall striker assume were gonna be aiming hopeful long balls to somewhere near his head maybe consider the possibility we needed a striker with a bit of physicality to match this league and one who can hold the ball us and bring other players into the game help us keep possession...

    I very much doubt we will play too much "hoofball" although it will be nice to have that option as a plan C...

    Hoofball is what we played when we had Yann.

    So where is the rumour we are signing Walcott coming from ? I can't find it in any of the papers

    If it happened we'd definitely be putting more crosses in of course, I meant it's not ideal because it means JBG won't get the scoring opportunities he got last year.

    Not exactly the best idea imo to move him to the left when he was so successful on the right last year.

    You really need to move on.

    Unless Henry will play on the left and cut in - doing what JBG does on the right. Or unless the plan is to play Henry inside alongside Cousins? Or even move JBG inside alongside Cousins where I think he would thrive.

    I like Walcott but I saw than interview with him and he said he had never played football until he was 10 years old!

    JBG in the middle behind the strikers would be immense. With his technique, speed and direct approach he would be awesome behind the strikers

    Simon Makienok has more to his game than just being a tall target man,, his touch, shot and ball control were perfectly good in the Danish super league and should be in the very similar championship. See Henry as an able replacement for Bulot.

    Fingers crossed. Is anyone following Henry's Twitter feed or stalking him in any way?

    Why do you always put multiple question marks in these ridiculous comments? It's not like any of us know the answers to your made up stories.

    I heard "We might sign someone but we might not. If we do then he might play. But he might not. If we don't sign him it is unlikely he will play"

    Could have legs in this one. (though it might not)

    I think that there is a possibility you might be on to something.

    I do hope though that any new signings would have legs.
