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.

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.

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.

What do you want me to do? Go through through all of the video of every game and edit a reel of him not tracking back, every sloppy pass he made, every blind alley run he made, all the times he picked out the wrong pass. I wish I had the time to. Then you can show me all his highlights and see how they stack up. I guess he was booed off the field against Spuds because of all the progression he made, and yea I know its one game but I'm using as an example. If he played more like the Chelsea game then we wouldn't have any problems.

Ah, another AKB I see. I love Arsene but its well know he has an hierarchy of players and will play someone whether he is in form or not. Case in point Walcott and Ramsey.
