Look at our own SWP, he was one of the most exciting young players in England and in the end never got close to his potential. Pennant, Lennon, Walcott, Johnson...

Id happilly take Walcott,at least he'd get an appearance or two.....
Besides as has been recently highlighted,he's more effective up front.
The fact remiains the money(and squad place) should have stayed in the bank until at least Jan when a quality first team regular could have been purchased.
