Gooner

Honestly, I don’t rate him very highly and am glad we got £20m+ for him, but he will do a job for you guys and under a tactical manager I would expect some improvements. He’s been coasting on his £140k a week for too long and this might be the making of him

Gooner here in peace. Thought you may be interested in what you’re getting for your £20m? Walcott really has been poor for the past few seasons and this year has been totally out of favour. That said he is a 1in 5 chances striker and now has motivation again to try and claim a WC spot. Will he fit in to a Fat Sam team? Well he doesnt track back and is very lightweight so perhaps not what Sam is traditionally known for. All in all I have to say I’m glad we sold him but under a manager that pushes him rather than Wenger and the Colney crèche I would think he would improve. I don’t think he will be earth shattering and would pin him as an Aaron Lennon but with a few more goals in him. Happy to answer any questions you may have if you’re interested in the opinion of someone watching him up close the last 12 years.
