Why isn't Walcott overhyped?

    I think he isn't overhyped because he has managed an average of 4 games and less than one goal a year for England over the past decade. That's a far less impressive record than Danny Welbeck.

    Those of you who think the media have an agenda against Arsenal should form a support group with the Liverpool fans.

    This.

    The Hype around Walcott used to be unreal, he spent too long not doing enough.

    As a Liverpool fan, I think Walcott is a great player. Talented, professional and humble. Got lots of hype in the early days but doesnt so much now. Is that a bad thing though. The only time you want hype is when you are trying to sell

    Yep, Southampton have been down to the third tier, back up, and off to Europe since he was hailed the next best thing, in 2006.
    The other southampton kid, the one that left the year after, won the CL

    To be honest it's not his fault he was overhyped before he got the chance to prove himself. But it's not him but almost every young English player gets overhyped as well.

    But Walcott has been suffering from a lot of injuries that has negatively impacting his career. If he can remain relatively injury free then he'll bag a lot of goals this season for . So far hes looking good and getting better.
