No one should have expected him to do very much until he was 21/22, which is exactly when started producing. This is madness.
He has had 220 first team games for Arsenal. How much longer does he really need? If we give Theo a big raise don't you think other, more important players will come calling. I don't hate Theo but I also don't understand the outpouring of love for essentially a squad player. I would like to keep him as a squad player but with his contract situation and the fact that he is young and English I figured we could cash in on him. He doesn't produce consistently game to game to make him one of our top paid players. Look I'm sure you will counter with whatever point you have and good for you. The last thing I will say is that simply Walcott doesn't pass the eye test, just watch him game to game and you will see.

And? Young players take a long time to develop. His play the last two seasons is more than enough evidence to say he's making the next step. This is how you develop players. It often takes a long time.

I have watched him game to game since he joined us (pretty much every game). He's not a perfect player by any means. But his improvement in that time has been as drastic an improvement as any player we've brought in. He's a threat every time he's on the field. I just think your argument is myopic and lacks any real evidence. If he's good enough for Arsene, I'll trust him. I can see why Arsene wants to play him. Whether Walcott wants to stay is another story.

Of course. All our key players should be on 100k a week or more. It's ridiculous that players like Denilson and Squillaci are on 45k a week. It's not ridiculous for players who have started lots of games (and produced) to be rewarded.
