    Theo > Oxocube.

    Anyone who thinks oxocube is already better than Walcott are deluded. He is young and still makes mistakes. He is a fine player but not quite ready yet.

    Walcott on the other hand is our most productive player left in the squad from last season and has grown massively as a player.

    Exactly. He scored 11goals for us and got 13 assists last season.

    song got the most assist's for us last year, but he couldnt pass a morning ****.

    lampard is statistically better than zidane

    stats mean nothing. id rather have chambo, who is always trying to make a impact and a difference, and also mdefend. than walcott who goes missing for 89 minutes per game.

    He didn't get those Eleven goals and thirteen assists by only being effective for thirty eight minutes last season.

    So what you are saying is that you believe that your opinion counts for more than the factual record of their performance. Do you REALLY think that? Do you really think that Wenger values your opinion more than the stats?

    Well the debate is whether Ox is worth more than Walcott. Your statement was that "Statistics mean nothing". Of course they don't. That is crazy talk. RvP wasn't worth 25M because everyone liked his movement off the ball. He was worth 25M because he stuck the ball in the back of the net 30+ times.

    Ox is nowhere near as effective as Walcott right now. It is reflected in the stats.

    Theo much better than most give him credit for being.

    He's one of the most effective in his postion in the EPL.




    saying that though ..Chamberlain is the bigger talent. However Oxo's natural position will be as an AM not on the wing.

    Agree also. We need Walcott to stay at least a year or two more. He's quality and is still getting better.

    I'd go along with that. Chamberlain has most of Walcott's speed but he is has the size as well. I would give him the edge in his footwork too. He just needs to learn the hard technical lessons Walcott has had to learn.

    Well the big thing is OXO is completely two footed and because of this does better in congested areas of the pitch.

    While Theo very much favours his right.

    I would have said Ox was two-footed until I saw Cazorla. That man redefines the standard for me!

    ppl seem to forget this because the media have already painted a bad picture of him so they only remember the bad over the good

    How does it seem Wenger prefers oxo to Walcott? Where are you getting that idea from? I certainly haven't seen it. Oxocube is still trying to have his break-through season. At the moment we have used all of Walcott, Gerv and Oxo on the right, and of the 3 Oxocube has been the most anonymous. I think the team is still very much changing depending on our opposition as opposed to any set best 11 being decided yet.

    At the euro's Walcott played brilliantly whenever he was on the ptich but wasn't given the opportunities he should have been.

    I really don't get why people under-rate walcott so much. It must be because he was hyped up so much when he was younger that people refuse to believe he has come good in any way as that would be to admit they didn't know **** all the years they have said Walcott is crap.
