Is he? On current form, probably, but what about overall? Who would you rate higher than him? Chesney - No Sagna - Yes Vermaelen - No Merts - No Gibbs - No Arteta - Possibly Wilshere - Yes Cazorla - Yes Podolski - No Giroud - No That's only a selection, I've left out permacrocks & the not first choice. He's the best attacking threat that Arsenal have. And he's one of the best players in the squad. He's the best attacking player in the squad in my opinion. Does that make him worth 100k? On current form, and with the lack of competition, it actually probably does. He's still young, he's marketable, he's improved this season, and he's scoring & assisting. Realistically, no-one in the world is worth 100k per week. But in the world of football, I'd have to say, with the state of the Arsenal team at the moment, he most probably is. He's a nailed-on starter and provides something both different and essential.
Podolski needs to up his game, been poor recently. Wakcott should be first name on the team sheet for NLD
Cazorla, Wilshere, Sagna, and Arteta are better. Although Walcott right now could be more important than all of them apart from Cazorla, because of what he provides for our attack.
No. But at the moment he is our most effective player. When he starts, he gets goals or assist. Against Fulham he provided two assists for Giroud. Needs to start against Spurs.
So he's the most productive player. How much do you think he's worth pw? Rumour is he wants 100k - is that justified? Is it justified if he's the difference between 4th & 5th?
Sometimes I really do miss RVP. I may get slated for it, but we do not have a world class forward player of his quality anymore and it is hurting us. He was the last of the truly world class players we had, dating back the Invincibles era.
