Happy about this?

Looks like Walcott maybe off to pastures new....

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/arsenal/9504761/Arsenals-Theo-Walcott-sparks-interest-from-Manchester-City-and-Liverpool-after-rejecting-new-contract.html

If they get 15M for him and he doesnt want to sign a contract then they should sell..

Would leave them 15M up in transfers and now is the time to buy a couple of players.. CM and defender i think..

I thought that reading previous posts from our Gooners that he was the saviour of the club.... So I just wondered if they were happy about the situation...

Being a Spud it looks to me like the rats leaving a sinking ship... but that would just be me being biased

I don't think Walcott is that good tbh, Liverpool is about his standard.

They can't sink, they're already at the bottom.

No I would still go with the sinking ship theory....

As I must have said before if a player doesn't want to sign a new deal let the bugger go - cash in and move on. Have to say I'm a touch surprised at Theo playing hard to get (and I'd heard he would definitely stay) but if he's just using brinkmanship or seriously doubts his affection for the club he can go IMO.
I like the lad - he is capable of having great moments but, unfortunately also capable of going missing. Given the players we've got in the squad now I'm not sure he'd be a first-choice once everyone is fit - The Ox is a more complete player and has pace too - so, Theo, if you don't want to stay and improve, fight for your place, now is the time for your Mr 15% to find you a new home!

I'd be worried about Jack Wilshere if I were a Gooner.
Persistent local dickie birds are telling me his problems centre more on rehab than recovery from injury.

Those rumours may be based on fact or just something to add a little sauce into the mixture. I know Wilshere is with The Arsenal every day working on his fitness - now whether that's accompanied by heavy sessions on the splosh or whatever his weakness might be I have no way of knowing.
I recall having a flaming row with an Iron some years ago, at a wedding, cos he was slagging off then Arsenal manager George Graham ("he's a nothing, he'll never win anything" - I think it was 1989 too) and Bobby Moore - saying Moore was a crook and that he was certainly guilty of the theft that he was charged with in South America prior to the 1970 world cup. This was a bloke who claimed he knew all the football insiders and therefore knew the inside story on everything. He would be the sort to spread rumours cos Young Jack has been seen out on the lash - I'm always a touch suspicious about rumour-mongers.

Looks like walcott has been persuaded to stay according to the Beeb

Mmmm, lack of interest from elsewhere perhaps? His Mr 15% won't be too chuffed - shame.

These are local stories, from his peers I'm afraid.

I agree about Oxlade-Chamberlain. He'll probably be good enough for Arsenal to sell one day.

It's that typical Spud thing. Judging their success, not by what they achieve (feck all) but by the failure of others. Sad really.
