Can you imagine Jack Wilshere"s medical? He would have had to start it in June.
How much did he cost wet Spam per minute of game time?
Walcott’s a done deal with us paying less than 50% of his wages, I suppose it depends on how much we’re paying but its another option and this is a loan I actually prefer to buying.
From what I’ve read we are probably paying less in wages for Walcott than we were for Boufal.
Boufal scored 4 goals in 3 or 4 years. I would like to think Walcott could equal that contribution this season.
But you said he’s been shit for the last 10 years. OK on a loan but not to buy.
Odd.
Ha!
How good are our media team?
‘Southampton Football Club is proud to announce that Theo Walcott, one of the most celebrated Academy graduates in its history, has returned to St Mary’s.’
Club’s full of praise and are no doubt proud. Love it!
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?
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.
