    Probably not, but I'm assuming that your cock isn't dead and there was no suffering involved in it's creation. Maybe that was a mistake...

    The thing that makes the Pepe fiasco ten times worse for Arsenal is that not only is he a dog **** Bolasie but they decided to break their transfer record on him whilst chucking just £8m at CB... on Luiz <laugh>

    He was injured for most of his early Arsenal career and only really became a first team regular from 2012

    Yeah I dont necessarily agree that Walcott was a flop.

    He certainly didnt live up to the (unfair) hype that was placed on his shoulders from such a young age, when he first moved to Arsenal, and Sven, in a weird, baffling ****ing move, decided to add Walcott, a 17 year old who had played zero minutes of Premier League football, to the England squad going out to the World Cup!!!

    People were obviously like "oh this kid must be special!", as in Michael Owen at 18 special, but he just turned out to be a fairly decent squad player.

    Yeah, he had tons of pressure put on him from aged 16-17. As I mentioned, he was also dogged by injuries in his early career and missed huge chunks of most of those seasons.

    He only really became a first team regular from around 2012. Decent player, with a good goals to games return. Not a superstar, but far from being a flop.

    He was supposed to be the star player in the Southampton youth side that Bale came through.
    We turned Bale into a world class player that Real Madrid broke the transfer record to sign.
    You turned Walcott into an Everton substitute.

    That was never true for what it's worth, purely his age and pace that made people say that.

    Chambo was always the more accomplished footballer.

    I figured that was who you meant, but I thought I better check because of the age difference.
    Walcott's about four years older. He'd already been at Arsenal for four seasons when Oxo-Cube made his Southampton debut.
    Pretty sure they weren't involved much at Southampton, but it's your club...

    Yeah sorry I just meant that he was much better at the same/similar age as Walcott and that the Walcott hype was always unjustified.
