Strengthening rumours going about that we are to sell Theo Walcott in January, with West Ham, Everton, Southampton and Crystal Palace among the teams allegedly set to make a bid.
Walcott has found himself on the outside of the squad with the evolution to the 3 at the back system, and has been conspicuous by his absence in recent weeks.
His injury ravaged Arsenal career has had many highs, a lot of lows and is now at a point where it is seemingly over.
The big question is will he come back to haunt us, like Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain did at Anfield...
Theo Walcott.

Your worried he will come back and haunt you, thats the question you posed in the OP.

You missed the joke. Let me explain that little bit of humour meant for fellow Arsenal fans:
When we played, and got hammered, by Liverpool Alex Oxlade Chamberlain was an Arsenal player. He put in a woeful performance, then a couple of days later signed for Liverpool.
A cheap shot at the Ox and Wengers decision to play him, yeah. But I won't apologise for that.

And if you dont know the relationship that Rangers and Arsenal share then you dont really know your club it would seem.

wait 10 mins whilst he googles it !

You mean the ancient history regarding the shares? I am sure that is highly relevant to you - especially as your club don't own them anymore.

Rangers are always happy to take on more right wingers at their club. They have a long history of right wing players, and fans sitting on the far side of the pitch to the left, with right wing views. As a right winger Walcott would almost fit in perfectly at Rangers. ALMOST.

\one important thing no one has mentioned. Dopes Theo want to go?
If he decides to stay and run his contract down, which is a possibility, then he will be staying. In order for him to leave he will need to be offered wages that a lot of clubs wont be prepared to pay. We could end up in another situation where we cant/wont offload a player and get nothing for him when he moves to someone else at the end of his contract.
And on that note, Sanchez and Ozil can start talking to other clubs in a few weeks.

I'd love to see Theo move abroad. It's definitely looking like he needs to leave Arsenal but I worry he'll hit a good streak of form and come back to haunt us in the premiership.
Besides, there aren't enough English players in the foreign leagues

Theo Walcott has so much potential to be a great player in a few years. He has just had a bit of an off decade. I think Wenger is being far too hasty in getting rid. The lad has barely had time to show what he can do at Arsenal.

Roy Keane topped you a while back calling him the longest overnight sensation ever.

The nzonzi rumours are funny. Just like the benzema, higuain, Carvalho and other bs ones

This is quite interesting. Not because of Walcott. Because I have believed he is just a backup after his return from injury.
I think its very likely that Ozil and Alexis are going to leave on a free. That leaves Walcott as the most prolific goal/assist man outside of those two. Without him as well would leave Welbeck and Iwobi as the starters who cannot score for toffee. And its scandal that those two start ahead of him without any contribution. Welbeck can at least hold the ball up and can act as a backup to Lacazette. Iwobi is pointless at this stage in his career and has to improve a lot.
This is why I suggested a few days ago. If Gazidis had any sense, he would not allow Wenger to make any decisions now. Wait for a new manager to come in and make his assessments. Then buy and sell how he wants.

Would make my new year if we could offload him on someone.Still not convinced that any other premier team would want him.Will need to ask for around 8 million to get rid.
