The future of Arsenal and England lies in the hands of an english man


Or boy..but he is starting to mature greatly and I am not talking about his peach fuzz. Theo Walcott was signed a couple seasons ago for around 10 million pds. The whole world wondered when this young man would truly show his class. Svsen picked him for the World cup and Wenger made mention that he would be the next great player after Henry. When Walcott failed to score goals from the start the media began to have the time of thier lives criticizing him. Wenger however had a different plan. He wanted to develop the young lad into the perfect attacking machine. One that is truly a centre attacking force to a multi-dimensional talent that play on both wings. The kid has a powerful foot and pace that would make Cristiano of another team feel he had to step up. In Birmingham the lad hit two classy goals, and seemed to come to age in the Champions League, first making wonderful crosses against AC Milan to totally dismantling the Liverpool defense. Last week he was given a start against Reading and impressed everyone by becoming an important factor in almost every positive play Arsenal did. Another bonus is Walcott is not afraid to run back and defend, not many attacked mind players do this and this is an added bonus to his game, I can only see great things for this young man in the future.
