After being strongly linked with chamberlain from Southampton the story has gone from the clubs website?

His Dad says that Arsenal are his ideal choice. The fact that Wenger has admitted to being interested is also a pretty clear indication that they're favourites. He doesn't usually speak up until something is likely.

The rumours are is that he will be signing either this month with a loan move back to Southampton for the rest of the season or a pre-contract agreement for a perm switch in the summer.
However, he has not indicated that he wants to leave, Southampton are not in desperate need for the money so for £10m it will work out in Southampton's favour either now or in the summer.

Arsenal is the best club for such a player, they would harness his talent and give him an opportunity for top level football. At Man Utd he'd be turned into a thug with the principle of aggression and pace bred into him, then loaned out to whoever Fergie's son was managing.

new forum moobs...same petty mud-slinging. Its boring.
Agree with everyone though that he will almost certainly go to Arsenal though. It's close to home, got a fantastic manager, and great young players. And whilst Man U, Tottenham or Chelsea would equally be good places to go, Wenger seems to have got his man.

Recently he is showing his form again. Lets not forget that the player has developed his all round play. I would choose him over that lazy Russian any day.

His dad might regret that decision when he visits his son in 20 years time and sees a bare trophy cabinet looking back at him. If you want to WIN things then Arsenal is most definitely not the place for any footballer - young or old.

Nice to see you two getting on so well

I agree with what Holloway said... £4million for Charlie Adam, yet clubs are all over Southampton with £10million. Charlie Adam is a quality player and has proved it in the EPL, but only have offers of £4million. Oxlade is an unproven player and have had £10million. I don't get it! Listen to news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/b/blackpool/9372270.stm

Walcott didnt make the right choice going to Arsenal. He showed a lot of potential but Wenger has made him into an inconsistent player who has a poor final ball seems an odd thing for one of the worlds top coaches to do a more likely explanation is that despite his early promise, he isn't actually as good as people thought he might be

But the young lad could be worth 3 or 4 times more in a few years depending how far he goes. If you think of players as assets....

Thierry Henry was deadly at this, okay Walcott will never be as good as Henry but he is in that mould. All this 'no end product' is complete crap and shows a lack of understanding of the game if you ask me. He's an excellent finisher and would make a good striker, in fact, we should stick him up front for England.

He'll be another poor English youngster ruined by Wenger if he goes to Arsenal.
He hasn't produced any young English players since he's been in charge. Their youth policy must be rubbish. The sooner Wenger is out of English football the better for the National game.

Thats what we do best, give our players stick when they don't quite live up to our inflated expectations of them. Hmmm, I would say he's a decent finisher, not excellent agree he should be playing for England because he's one of the best we've got...

The sooner Wenger is out of English football the better for the National game. I'll happily accept a whoosh but it's funny how, if it's true what you say, only the English players don't progress or is that a huge coincidence? Goes a little way to explaining why English players aren't good enough and are technically inferior to other nations, got nothing to do with Arsenal and Mr Wenger English players are just pace, pace, pace, pace. Until we teach them technical ball skills they will continue to come up short

Post by yellowj on Jan 25, 2011 17:11:29 GMT
I understand what you are saying about the technical ball skills, however, other clubs have more success with their youth players. Maybe Wenger should have insisted on better qualified coaches for the youth policy that he has been overseeing for the last 10 years.

Agree with that and its 'Pace, Strength & Resolve'. Until we teach them technical ball skills
Robben is 10x better at Walcott at what he does btw.

That was just off the top of my head. I've added three more. Plus it's not his fault that the talent hasn't made the grade. Arsene Wenger is in charge of first team duties, and not the youth team.

Listen to news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/b/blackpool/9372270.stmCharlie Adams is an awful player. Yes he has been stand out for Pool this year, but tell me who apart from him has? He is the best of a very bad bunch, surviving on pure man management from holloway. He will move to Liverpool, then in the Summer when a better manager then Kenny comes in, they will realise that he is awful and get shipped back to the pool. Personally I have not seen AOC play, but you can never tell with a 17 year old how they are going to develop. Look at Pennant & Bentley. So much talent & hype, just an awful head, which makes them think they are amazing players. Walcott, level head, brought into the set up too soon, and from there he knew that he had to develop his game, which in the past few years has so much.
