He wouldnt come here, he probably thinks he’s too good for palace, as most arsenal players are arrogant and overrated!

Southampton and Everton yes. Surprised you rank Stoke above us?

Anyway, suspect he will go back to Saints... if they want him back. Otherwise, unless West Ham have a meteoric renaissance over the next few weeks and assuming we maintain current form, we have a slim chance if we offer the money.

Would be one heck of a window if we also get Trapp.

Has he ever scored a decisive goal, or is it always the 2nd / 3rd goal buffer as it seems?

Well I believe that’s the problem arsenal fc have, is arrogance. So many players go there and think they are the bollocks before they have even achieved anything. So I stand by my ‘throwaway’ statement.

He has scored and assisted the most from all Arsenal players divided on the minutes they were given. Especially in important Champions League games where players are required to run. You could name Ozil as the one who only does it against low level teams, but not Walcott. He's especially good against tough opponents.

Take only the last 3 years and only the most important competitions (PL, European football, no Cup matches unless against PL team):
Walcott has scored and assisted 47 times in 5400 minutesa (and the further you go into the past, his average remains similar)
Alexis Sanchez has 107 goals and assists in 12.100 minutes (disregarding his 4 penalty goals)
Ozil has 70 goals and assists in total in 10.400 minutes

The 3 have played in similar positions, behind the striker or as side midfielders. Walcott has at times played as center forward (few times).

You can obviously see that Wlacott has been good on his word, but Ozil has lacked tremendously.
Yes, Walcott and Ozil are different types of players and Ozil's passing is much better than Walcott's, he opens up the attacks in a way Walcott could never do.

However, it is also a fact that since Ozil became first choice Arsenal has failed to be a top 4 club and to go further than the last 16 in the Champions League, while in the previous years, when Walcott was a starter, Arsenal was a much better club.

Arsenal fans think Wlacott is s***e, they want him off the team and would gladly sell him. In my opinion, he doesn't deserve that treatment and Arsenal doesn't deserve him. He's one of the best wingers in modern football. He has his flaws, as he's not very talented, but he compensates with speed and with his finishing. I'd rather have him in my team than Ozil any day.

Wenger has never been very fond of Walcott, but was forced to field him back in the day because Walcott was just that good. He was pretty much always subbed and he should have known that Wenger will not use him after the Ozil and Sanchez signings. His agent advised him to stay, he made that decision and forced himself into the squad last year with many goals and assists in the beginning of the year. This year, however, he hasn't even been given chances.
He should have been out of there a long time ago. One of the most underappreciated players I've seen by his own club
