Like playing with ten men if he starts | | | |
Walcott on 21:48 - Oct 2 with 999 views | solent_toffee | He has zero appetite for the game, but is a nice fella who says the right things and looks the part. On 70k a week with no pain threshold. | | | |
Walcott on 22:01 - Oct 2 with 970 views | DorsetIan | I don’t think there’s going to be any improvement from Redmond, Long or Walcott. We should be playing Elyounoussi, who may still improve, Adams and Broja ahead of all of these. | |

Walcott on 22:21 - Oct 2 with 951 views | kernow | Seriously disillusioned with the stupid decisions made by the people running this football club. With so many folk struggling these days it makes sick that some footballers are stealing an unimaginably lucrative living and taking the p1ss. Hope they sink like a stone. Not interested anymore. Feck off! | | | |

I quite agree. Still a good piss up now and again though. | |

Walcott on 23:15 - Oct 2 with 852 views | kernow | I would enjoy convivial gatherings with fellow fans over a pint or several and enjoy watching a bit of professionalism and honest endeavour on the football pitch. Missing both. Staying fit and healthy is the priority these days. | | | |

'Played' as in the distant past. Not these days. | | | |
Walcott on 10:11 - Oct 3 with 598 views | A1079 | I was very concerned when we took back Walcott. The loan bit I was kind of ok with but to take him permanently was a strange decision given his history. Everything his previous clubs managers and supporters of those clubs have been saying that here is a player with so much talent but does not simply apply himself for any length of time. At best you get a honeymoon period with Walcott and then he slips back into just drifting by, happy to take the salary and not much else. But, he is not alone. For me, by and large Redmond is not much, if any better. Both flatter to deceive - the odd moment of wonder interspersed with long periods of nothingness. | | | |

A couple of things stand out on Walcott from his time at Everton for me, that kind of sums him up. In a home game against Man City he had the ball booted into his face from a free kick out wide. Now it was hit hard but not that hard. This was in the first ninety seconds of the game and he was taken off. The second one was he scored a last minute winner against Watford and then followed it up in the next game with an absolute peach of a cross for the opener against Palace after about 15 minutes. He then pulled up with what appeared to be a strain walking comfortably off the pitch and was then out until the recommencent after lockdown. There was no attempt to carry on it was almost as if he’d done his bit and that was that. Most Evertonians wouldn’t speak badly of him because he didn’t do anything particularly bad, he just didn’t do anything particularly good, for a 20 million pound player, but did pick up a massive wage. I can’t believe Saints gave him a two year deal to be honest, shocking business regardless if he was on a free. | | | |
