Henry, a left footed winger???? Yeah, right. lol.
I am afraid i am correct there . Juve used him as a winger in Serie - A , when he failed and eventually left
usually i dnt like to refer to interviews , but .....
This is Arsene's Interview back in 2010 when he decided to use Walcott as a striker
_________________
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has revealed he is ready to trial Theo Walcott in a more central position against Shakhtar Donetsk and compared the England international's potential to transform from a winger to a striker to that of Gunners legend Thierry Henry.
Walcott has enjoyed a blistering start to the new season, netting six goals in seven games to prove he has added an end product to the explosive pace that has long been his best asset.
And Wenger believes that Walcott has demonstrated the sort of potential that he saw in Thierry Henry, who transformed from a talented young winger to one of the world's most feared strikers under the French manager's tutelage.
"He is very, very close to playing that striker role," Wenger said. "He is more of a natural striker [than winger] as he likes to put the ball into the net himself. Theo is 21, give two more years to Theo and imagine what he will be.
"And don't forget that when Thierry came here, he was a winger. When I first played him as a central striker, he said to me, 'I can't score goals'. In England, you are very impatient. Theo can be a prolific goalscorer as once he is a yard in front of the defender nobody can catch him
