The Sunday Mirror has reported that Theo Walcott could become the subject of bids of £15 million from Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain. Walcott's contract will expire in a year's time and the issue of his future in North London has been overshadowed by the attention paid to Robin van Persie.

The article indicates that Walcott is seeking a new deal worth around £100,000 a week. The questions are whether he's worth that level of investment and whether Arsenal should be tempted by a £15 million offer.

Yes and its becoming a tradition at Arsenal now selling at least 2 main players every season.

12 years ago, players would bite your hand off if you offered them 70k a week. Now, people argue that 100k a week is "an insult" to some players

F*ck off it's an insult i WISH i could be insulted in such a fashion

Cisse is on 40k a week your negotiating tactic is the issue IMO

If Theo does leave I am sure it is to win trophies not the money.

Give it a season or two, Mole, he'll be demanding 120k and a second seat on the team bus for his ego

djourouand Diaby are on 60k a week.

I agree who ever gives these contracts should be fired.

That's when we sell him for 50m when the market inflates even further

Djourou and Diaby were once a main part of our team, playing atleast 20 PL games a season.

They are making same amount of money Mata is making at Chelsea, we signed them both for another 4 years just this year, which team is ever going to pay them that kind of money.

Wouldnt pay much attention to the Walcot to Chelsea rumours, we already bought three wingers thus far (Marin, KDB and Hazzard) and Kakuta should get some more regular game time this season and thus far we've only offloaded one winger, Kalou.

Also we've already had bids rejected for Moses so given FFP blah blah blah and the club possibly looking to sign another big name (Hulk, Modric, Moutinhio) and the need to purchase a backup RB if we really wanted another winger (which still could happen if Yossi and/or Malouda go) then youd think we'd be more inclined to go for Moses given his wages and transfer fee would be cheaper and we'd strugle to offer Wallcot enough game time

If you think that's bad you should have seen our wage bill when we went down we had the 6th highest wage bill in the league

It was insane, it looks good now after 3 and a half years of cutting the wage bill but we used to pay ridiculous wages.... i mean Owen 130k ffs

I'm sure you will cut all the deadwood on high wages from your wage bill eventually as well, we still have one player to get rid of actually so hopefully he sods off

In any case i like Walcott as a player and i think he should stay but 100k is stupid, i wonder why he thinks he deserves that

It is not about deserving Mole. It is about what he can get in the market. And the likes of PSG will easily give him a 5 million per season contract i think.

He thinks he deserves it because he can get it at multiple clubs on the open market.

Also Wenger doesn't even play him at CF where he's repeatedly said he wants to play.

So unlinke the Van Persie case, I'm inclined to say he can do whatever he wants....would love him at Liverpool TBH....I know he's a fan.

Yes I agree, he looks around the league and guys like Young making more money than him, and if he does move he could make the same or maybe more.

but which big team would put Walcott their starting 11? If i were him i wouldn't want to be called super sub for the rest of my career

Arsenal every summer.

I agree, as you all know I am not his biggest fan and had RVP stayed I would not care if he had moved on but losing 2 big name players again is a embarrassment.

Walcott is hot and cold and when he goes cold in any other big club he will be warming the bench game after game. At Arsenal Walcott would walk in to starting 11 with one eye.

Walcott would be wise to stay at Arsenal and he is still young and in few years he can ask for the raise he wants. If it was not for Arsenal I dont think he would have made it to Euros.


No sure if its true but He reportedly said he doesn't want to stay if we can't keep RVP.

Its amazing how a player like walcott can demand 100000k per week.
He had a reasonable season last year but still i have my doubts about his ability as a winger. I feel he lacks the necessary skill and flair to dribble or trick his way around a defender. He is most effective when the team is a goal up and there is space behind to exploit.

As for his desire to play as a CF. Really with his physical structure he wants to play the lone striker against the likes of vidic,company, skrtel and the other giant CBs. If we get 15m and he acts as a diva over his contract we should sell him and get a better winger.

If the club agrees to pay him 100000k a week, the contract should contain a clause that he will use 20000k to buy dribbling and crossing lessons so that when he sees a LB he does not just try kick the ball forward and race after it and that some of his crosses gets past the first defender.

Quote worthy.

lol @ this guy if he's serious about 100k a week. he's not even the clear cut deserved starter at RW. Gervinho & AOC are on his heels and he has little consistency....


Podolski isn't even on 100k/week is he? FOH, with this mess Theo.

So do you think Chelsea or PSG or any other top club would play Walcott at CF??????

I'm afraid he juz ain't good enough to play there!!!! So the sooner he starts realising that, the better for him. And if he trully wants to play as a CF he should ASAP get he's shit together!

On Wally staying at Arsenal or not. I really hope he stays! as much as he sometimes can make me furious, when...on his day when his good he's very good!

So I hope our fecked up board sorts their shit out, so we can keep Wally.
