Walcott is a quality signing. He will do well for us.

Ralph Hasenhüttl said: “There is a lot of history between this club and Theo, so I know how special this will be for him and for our supporters.

“But what is most important to me is that we have signed a player who can help our squad and give us another strong option in our attack.

“Theo is someone who has all the qualities to fit well into our team and our style of play, and I know from speaking to him that he understands what we want and that he is excited to be a part of what we are doing here.

“His experience and influence will also be important for our young players. The idea is not to block their development, but for this to make it faster. From this professional they can learn and grow as players for the future of our club.”

Because we can send him back, he has been shit for 10 years and if we’re paying less than 50% (I don’t know how much less) then I suppose its a punt but worth taking, not great but not too shit either.
It doesn’t solve the centreback or goalkeeper issue though does it?

:sob:

Didn’t say it did.

Merely very unlike you to acquiesce on a player who’s been “shit for 10 years” and take him on because he’s cheap.

You’ve moaned about us not splashing the cash in the past but are strangely happy with this one.

Strange times indeed.

We haven’t splashed the cash.

My heart bleeds for him. Could we arrange a whip round? :thinking:

Thats a beautiful soundbite from the Arsenal fan.

Doesn’t it? Aw, that’s a shame. Forwards are crap in goal or at centreback, eh? Who knew?

Thank you. The Barry Sanchez Football School successfully delivers another enlightening lecture which I believe has made us all think.

You old romantic, you :kissing_heart:

No it doesn’t, the rest of that post is pure wank, its wanders between attempted ironic humour and moronic comedy.

Haven’t we? How much were KWP, Salisu and Diallo? We’ve sold Hojbjerg who didn’t want to be here and let go players who played no or little part. Good window I reckon.

I concur. Let Bazz be Bazz and the rest of us can marvel at our business :sunglasses:

I know that, but you’re now happy to take on someone who you clearly say has been shite for 10 years on loan - inconsistencies abound Barry

I’ve still got these shirts I believe!
