To say he has been brilliant is laughable. Not worth the wages? Opinions are like arseholes and yours smells like you have been eating Turkey. he has been light years above Armstrong,Djenepro , Ings since injury and Redmond. He worked his nuts off in every game got good goal at Arsenal. today poor going forward unlucky not to score but what he did was nullify their attack swapped with Armstrong when Fulham looked dangerous in front of KWP 6

Saint Billy Posted 28 December, 2020 Posted 28 December, 2020 I think Theo gives the appearance of someone trying too hard. He is covering a lot of ground and full of running but when the ball is at his feet he seems to either give the ball away or is brushed off the ball too easily. I think he just needs to slow his game down and rely more on his experience now rather than his speed.
Convict Colony Posted 28 December, 2020 Posted 28 December, 2020 Walcott has been one of our better players for the last 2months which if he costs us 50k a week (50k Everton) is probably cheaper than a lot of our regulars 1

Been an excellent signing so far, even before factoring in the nostalgia. 2

The way that he bombs around the pitch he has to be careful in this cold weather not to pull a hammy, reappearance of the long johns I suspect!. Although he does seem to have had more calf muscle issues in the past. Theo Walcott - Injury history | Transfermarkt

Yeah I think with Ings having been out with injuries a couple of times already this season we would have been stuffed without Theo especially with Redmond being out of form/injured as well.
Totton Saint Posted 29 December, 2020 Posted 29 December, 2020 Yes- that is more of a fact as opposed to an opinion. Back to my chores now.
skintsaint Posted 29 December, 2020 Posted 29 December, 2020 Sorry just don't agree he has been 'excellent' or 'light years ahead' of other players. Guess we agree to disagree. Hopefully bangs a hat trick tonight to prove me wrong. 1
Lord Duckhunter Posted 29 December, 2020 Posted 29 December, 2020 He has been excellent, certainly better than Armstrong the last few games. 1
Colinjb Posted 29 December, 2020 Posted 29 December, 2020 His work ethic and work-rate has won me over from my initial skepticism. He has been invaluable for us, particularly in light of Ingsy's injuries. He is not a perfect player, but that it is not what we expected. He is an experienced, rapid option that has provided us with a valuable extra dimension in attack. If he wants to stay on after the loan, and his evident enthusiasm has soon enough for me to hope this would be the case; we would be daft not to keep him. 1
hypochondriac Posted 29 December, 2020 Posted 29 December, 2020 Again, the only thing he has to be is better than any alternative in his position. He's clearly doing that so he's been a good signing.

Avenue_Saint Posted 29 December, 2020 Posted 29 December, 2020 Our biggest attacking threat today. Was class first half.
Chris cooper Posted 29 December, 2020 Posted 29 December, 2020 Walcott was top drawer tonight head and shoulders above the rest of our wingers ! Dropping in the whole to recieve the ball and finding the space early on was class .. cresswell didn’t know weather to drop in with him or stay .. very intelligent play indeed ⭐️ 2

davefizzy14 Posted 29 December, 2020 Posted 29 December, 2020 Theo was quality again tonight, our best number ten 1
washsaint Posted 29 December, 2020 Author Posted 29 December, 2020 Very good today. Quite frustrating that he does so much so well but then doesn't complete. Been a great addition to the team though
SuperSAINT Posted 11 January, 2022 Posted 11 January, 2022 Do we know what’s up with Theo? Is he injured?
Dellman Posted 11 January, 2022 Posted 11 January, 2022 He's not the player he was for sure but I hope he stays a Saint for years to come, mentor, coach or Academy support. He's one of our own. of him!
WestMidSaint Posted 11 January, 2022 Posted 11 January, 2022 Expensive I imagine for a bit part player. Feels like another financial drain of a contract 1
S-Clarke Posted 17 May, 2022 Posted 17 May, 2022 (edited) It was never anything other than a PR stunt, something for the club to get the banners out for and 'welcome him home'. It's a shame it had to end like this but it was painfully obvious that the injury he had last season was the end for him. Part of the trust I had in the new club recruitment was dented when they offered him a deal. I'm not sure if he has another injury now or not, but he's clearly no longer at the required level either fitness or quality wise. I'm sure he's good to have around the lads though, even though we still lose every week. Edited 17 May, 2022 by S-Clarke 1
Baird of the land Posted 17 May, 2022 Posted 17 May, 2022 Another year of wasted money still to come.
AlexLaw76 Posted 18 May, 2022 Posted 18 May, 2022 People Laud Siemens and co for the excellent stewardship of the club. but look at the state of us? Walcott? Long? McCarthy? time will tell if Ralph remain and if the new owners are the european version of Gao 1

AlexLaw76 Posted 19 May, 2022 Posted 19 May, 2022 Just now, Matthew Le God said: Possibly not.... Just seen that. If he still wants to play, surely be a great move. 2
Holmes_and_Watson Posted 19 May, 2022 Posted 19 May, 2022 Hope he finds a franchise willing to pay his wages as a designated player. 1
Dark Munster Posted 19 May, 2022 Posted 19 May, 2022 Quote Theo Walcott considering a move to MLS this summer with Southampton looking to move players on.
Turkish Posted 19 May, 2022 Posted 19 May, 2022 Shane it can’t worked out as he’s a good guy and clearly loves the club. He was alright in the first season. Ultimately though can’t be sentimental he’s taking a big wage and not providing and ROI on it so best for both if he leaves. Probably be good in the MLS and a good way to finish his career provided you get a move to a club with a decent climate 2

M271 Posted 4 August, 2022 Posted 4 August, 2022 In the press conference today Ralph said that Theo is still not back in training due to injury, have they ever said what the problem is? Seems to be a long time out for a non declared reason, unless I've missed some info.

Mr X Posted 6 August, 2022 Posted 6 August, 2022 Who was responsible for signing him in the first place? It was clear he was way past it then
