Tis is outright nonsense. Now that we are trying to keep pace with goings on in the league financially, we are being criticise. We want to keep all our players together we are being called to question. I believe AW is doing the right thing

Well said. This article lacks perspective and objectivity. Now whatever Arsenal does, it’s like damn if you do; damn if you don’t

This “article” is BS…
The best players in the PL are making around £250k/wk.
In fact, this may be the first sign that we no longer will sell our starting XI but will exchange the squad players with someone (hopefully) better.
Santos has played in the Brazilian national team. He did have a couple of good games last year

@ Clock Milk, Get A life.
Walcott was the second best winger in league behind Bale last year (statistically speaking) so I’m glad he signed. The alternative would be to let him go for free, at least now they have the option to sell him.

Looking at this piece I have the feeling there were two articles the other berating Arsenal for letting such a star talent go when for the paltry sum of £100’000 per week we could have kept him. Mr Antrobus the way you write Arsenal are never going to do the right thing by you, so how about moving on to something that makes you happy? I’m sure Arsenal will survive without your useless rambling.

The writer was only looking for relevance. His article had no substance. It is a mediocre exercise.

An good article with an interesting take on the implications of Walcott’s new contract deal. However, a bit of proofreading might have increased its appeal. The start of the first paragraph is a bit awkward and requires at the very least a comma between ‘signed’ and ‘ended’ on line two; even then it’s not the most fluent piece of prose I’ve ever read. Also, there is a typo before Kieran Gibbs in the second paragraph; ‘at’ should read ‘and’. In the same paragraph there is no need for the apostrophe in ‘future’s', it is a non-possessive plural. I’m sure ‘babakrdaemi’ would regard my comments as rather fastidious but I expect more from a feature writer than a comments writer.

This writer doesn’t really know the treat Theo possesses…ask Guardiola! In only two matches Walcott played against Barca, The Gunners won one and drew one(he only came in when Arsenal was trailing 0 – 2). Well-managed, Walcott can win you matches…and one great thing about Theo – he always shows up in big matches!
