Would take sterling over both of them. Isn't injury prone, shown more potential than chamberlain with better end product.

Theo Walcott, would you have him at City?

Arsenal fan here. I'd ideally like to see Theo sign a new contract and stay because although he doesn't offer much work rate up and down the flanks he offers goals and assists. The season before he got injured he was in the form of his life and was one of the major reasons for us winning games and scoring goals. The injury has set him back but he's not been given a run of games to find his feet.
I could see City going in for him as well as Liverpool and theres talks that Barca are interested as a Pedro replacement. He offers movement off the ball and finishing so if thats an area city need to improve then it would be a good buy. Once he gets his confidence back you see him start to pick up the ball and drive with it and you see him do things you didn't think he could (lol). Once he's in a good dribble its hard to stop him without fouling him and so he'd be winning a set piece. He may want to play as a striker though and could be used as a ss or a rotation option. The game he got injured he played upfront against tottenham and was probably one of his best games.

Walcott's a better finisher than Stirling, can play as a genuine striker or winger ..... Walcott I would think may cost half of what Stirling could go for ......

Have both Walcott and Sterling they'd be perfect for a plan B especially away from home.

Nowhere near good enough!
Walcott is a player that needs to move away from Arsenal to a team that will play him every week, considering he has been there nearly ten years now you could argue is he that much better now than when he first went there?
His game is more mature but his end product hasn't developed the way everyone thought it would.
Sterling is the English player we should be going for and with the reports linking us quite frequently in he last few weeks it looks like we are indeed tapping him up.

Hi Newman123,
I think one of the reasons you have hovered around 4th is because of the debilitating injuries your squad suffers on a reasonably regular basis.
Would you agree with that to any extent or ?
I do like Walcott but it is a big risk imo to have him in a top squad, you included. He is an attacking asset no doubt, i just wonder if his injury record is going to continue in a less than positive direction.

Walcott, aguero, jovetic as a front 3 looks good on paper but getting thdm on the pitch at the same time would be nigh on impossible! So it makes it a certain no!

Before Walcott's big knee injury, he wasn't injured much, was he?
I always thought Walcott had a good injury record up until that.
