Morning on this quiet news day.

Just seen on the BBC gossip page that we are interested in Walcott. What do you think? I don't think it will happen but not really sure what to think, but he definitely meets our profile - gets injured a lot and not as good at scoring as he should be, but he would be an improvement on the others probably
 
Think we could just about do with him...in fact I think we could do with him a lot.............His injury record though is not so good.......about the same as Austin for injuries you think?
 
No thanks. Not a patch on the player that left us for Arsenal as a teenager, which seems to happen to most of the players we sell!

Yeah he is definitely a far better player than when he left us ffs. Whether he reached his potential/got as good as he was supposed to be is a different debate, but there is no doubting he, as a 28 year old seasoned pro, is better than the 16/17 year old who left us.

I would have him here, think wages would be an issue though and would expect other clubs to be interested and more likely to get him .
 
Yeah it cracks me up when people say he's worse than when he left <laugh>

Not for me though, too injury prone, not really what we need so not gonna solve our goalscoring issues. Would want too much money for what he'd likely bring too.

Big no from me.

This won't happen - I'll eat my own arse if it does.

That said, would I like to see him back at Saints? Bloody hell, of course I would. He's like Shane Long, only with an end product ffs. Why wouldn't you want him back at St Mary's? Imagine a front 3 of Walcott, Gabbi and Long? Or Redmond, Walcott and Long behind Gabbi or Austin? Might be hard finding room for Tadic, Davis and JWP then, but I'd have that problem anyday.
