With his doubles against Sunderland and Burnley, the 25 - year old has bagged eight goals in those six games and for a player that does not

Here's my take on Walcott; the typical English hype got to him and he over estimated his own abilities in recent seasons, wanting to play
as striker without first establishing himself
as a world class winger forgatting that
even Henry, Ronaldo and
even Messi had to first prove their undoubted abilities on the wing befroe going
central, Wenger let him suit himself, he hit rock bottom when he wasn't
even selected for the Euros and has finally decided to dust himself up and work his way back up, why cant we see that and just give him the necessary support?
but when he first got to Dortmund - he wasn't
even viewed
as good enough to play
as the
central striker & lead the line - shifted out on the wing - much like Walcott for us.
However, I find it very interesting that Le Prof still continues to sign teenage midfielders, although Fortune can also play on the wing or

im not Theos biggest fan but the way hes being treated right now i wouldn't be surprised if he left.Against Hull, Wenger played a
central midfielder Ramsey on the wing insted of Walcott, then when he brought Ramsey off he brought on another
central midfielder Wiltshere, he only brought on Walcott lfor Giroud.If your Walcott what would you be thinking?Those of us who understand the way we play with 1 up top kow that Theo will never be our regular
striker because he doesn't have the necessary skills.His only real postion is on the right either
as an inside right or an out an out winger.The fact he doesn't track back alot may be reason why Wenger does nt start him, but
even so he must be fi.

Regarding him not getting into the french team it's clear that the manager preferred a big
central striker for the euros and he took Giroud and
even Gignac
as back up
But
even if he can not perform well
as a
striker, he could be used
as central attacking midfielder / forward like Sanchez and Griezmann.
This would remove the option of fielding Sánchez
as a No. 10, but could see the Chilean
