Theo Walcott? ..

[decmancity]

Couldn't cut it at a big club.

When Sinclair was at Chelsea what fucking chance did he have to get in the team when Abramovich was hoovering up players.

Sinclair is better than Walcott with the ball and without. He can't match his pace but he's not far off.

Bollocks. You can't say that because sinclair has never been playing at the same sort of level as walcott. When walcott was playing champions league football and scoring against barcelona sinclair was a bit part player for wigan

Some of you have gone way OTT in trying to justify the sinclair transfer and seem to have klidded yourselves into thinking that he's quite good

I can say that. I don't rate Walcott one bit. I rate Sinclair.
I am allowed an opinion.

Last week Sinclair was shite, this week he's better than Walcott. This forum is on glue.

This is the first link to anybody that has got me excited this Transfer Window.

Although I would have been ecstatic to know about the bids for Thiago and Pedro but we do our business in such a way that none of us really know.

I really fancy Walcott now.

Oliver Kay at The Times has just broken the story that Walcott has rejected a new contract and could leave this week.

The dozy fucker spends too much time on here mate.

Thats no way to speak to LoveCity.

I thought money was tight...we had to slash the wage bill / not pay over the odds in transfer fees ? We've been chasing Sinclair for weeks and now seem to be haggling over 1/2 million or £1 million extra and now people want us to go in for Walcott who would cost more and be on a bigger wage than Sinclair or Johnson who we let go.

I'm not sure money is tight, but it's just a matter of having clearly defined business rules.

Sure, it's just '500K' more (or whatever it turns out to be).... but again, it's the slippery slope. If 500K more is ok on 6M transfer.... is 3M more ok on a 30M transfer?

Either the club has policies or it doesn't. And if you say ok to 500K more today, then the next time you go to Swansea, it's 1M more...
Not only that, now their chairman is using the media to negotiate the deal, that makes it HARDER for us to budge... 'cos other clubs are watching.

Liverpool / Rodgers pulled away from the Gylfi wotsit deal under similar circumstances. They had a price, thought it was agreed - then said NO when the price went up. They did the right thing.

I just wondered then why we've been browsing in the Scott Sinclair window all this time and not the Santi Cazorla window ? How many more times are we likely to deal with Swansea even if you were just using them as an example for illustrative purposes ? Nothing wrong with sticking to our target price - to be appluaded in fact. But to start negotiations with a new player and club with 3 days left in the window for the sake of 1/2 million seems risky.

Would make up for the loss of AJ. I think most City fans would be very happy with Walcott. He could be devastating playing in front of Silva etc

in some ways, walcott should be playing more regulary for arsenal - he is the type of player they have been missing for a full 90 mins in the past two games.

he definately is one of the better english players, even barcelona were watching his progress ready to pounce for him.

put it this way, i would be much happier with walcott than i would with sinclair.

 

[tommytheblue]

don't like either players. Both of a certain type that England keep churning out, pacey dribbling wingers, that lack the intelligence and craft to make them top players.

Walcott final ball is often atrocious.

 

[Citizen Green]

AJ out for £15m

Walcott in for £12m

Fantastic buisness and improves the squad, get it done City.
