Re: The Curious Case Of Theo Walcott

The only reason I wouldn't stick him in CF is because of his physique. Also, with VP fit it's very hard to bench him. I'd love some rotation, though.

I'd love to see us apply some "1 nil to the Arsenal" tactics with long balls up to Walcott. Catch me if you can Afro

He doesn't have the technique to play as a striker, i think the role he plays for us at the moment suits him.

Strikers don't have to be great at technique. Maybe in Arsenal, but if you are strong or fast enough it's usually good enough. How many technically complete strikers can you think of nowadays? Van Persie? Ibrahimovic? Eto'o?

Pretty much only the top dogs.

The game is changing, if you want to play as a striker for one of a top team, you have to be technically gifted.

Managers want players with a bit of everything
