Re: 2012-13 EPL Thread

If he ends up at Liverpool(which seems to be the talk) then he's going to be behind Suarez and Sturridge(who also looks like ending up there and also wants to be a CF but doesn't seem to have the tools). Do Liverpool play with 2 up the top?

I agree he's overrated because of who he plays for and where he was born.

Suarez isnt a striker, he'll move back to the CF position. I dont think Liverpool will get Sturridge but Walcott will start ahead of him IMO.

Word out of the Bridge is he passed his medical last week, a fees been agreed to and he will be a Red in early January.

Fair enough, this came from Rafa's mouth.

Plus I think Walcott may end up at Chelsea and not Liverpool.

Re: 2012-13 EPL Thread

How do you think Walcott is overrated. Is it his consistency?

In he hasn't made it yet.

He should be trying to lead the Gunners line rather than chasing the $$$$.

Agree. Develop into a quality player at Arsenal first and then when he is very good he can transfer for the $$$ if he wants. I've haven't watched to many Arsenal games but is he a regular starter?

Agree

To be fair he has never been given the opportunity to lead the line. In the last month he has and he has shown a bit more consistency. He could easily be thinking that Wenger is doing it just to please him and that might make him want to leave even more.

It's hard with Theo. He wants to play in the centre.

Ox plays on the wing, Podolski can go wide or through centre and Gervinho is a natural winger but not good enough for Arsenal IMO. The problem is balancing Walcott wanting to play in the centre with Giroud. Giroud is a pure CF. Giroud has had a decent start to his Arsenal career and is/was gaining momentum. Theo plays centrally, he will be a sub at best.

Thought Everton were unlucky not to get a point.
Albion battered Fulham and yet Fulham went down the other end and scored.
Poor result for Arsenal.
Good to keep a clean sheet at Wigan with RVP again the star of the show .
Good result for City to put 3 past Stoke.
QPR and Reading are gone, horrid for Rangers considering the coin they've spent.

As expected Sturridge first cab off the rank and now a Liverpool player.

Ba looking likely to be a Blue.

Get £12m for Sturridge and pay £7m for Ba, excellent business Chelsea.

Great result for QPR, winning 1-0 away at Chelsea.

Liverpool cruise comfortably 3-0 at home to Sunderland & Everton inflict Newcastle's 9th defeat in 11 EPL games winning 2-1 away.

Thank god we have Ba(and possibly someone else) coming in to replace Torres.
