In terms of footballing ability:

Ox >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Walcott

In terms of who I'd rather have for Chelsea. Chamberlain all day long

Chamberlain was just finding his feet least season, he'll kick on next year and start 20-25 games and be much better.

I agree with you, I just thought I'd share some stats I found surprising. I do think Ox is far more talented, just maybe Theo deserves a TINY bit more credit?

I used to slate Theo but I do rate him. Everyone was just expecting him to be a superstar and it didn't work out like that... he's still dangerous he just needs to be more consistent and stop those long runs of bad form.

Walcott is a key player for us, whether people like to believe it or not.

Theo struggles against deep backlines but is absolutely unplayable when defenders decide to push up and leave space behind them. He is a forward, not a winger and he will NEVER be a winger. When we supply balls to him behind the defenders he almost always ends up coming up with either an assist or a goal.

I would have Theo at United as a back up striker to Welbeck.

You've got the stats wrong, it should be Walcott:
Cross accuracy - 13.4%
Minutes per successful dribble - 78.5
Minutes per key pass - 67

Chamberlain:
Cross accuracy - 23.3%
Minutes per successful dribble - 21.4
Minutes per key pass - 50.5

Walcott is better than Welbeck, what are you on?

walcott is key ? hahaha I remember when arsenal fans used to slate Helb for getting past his man 9/10 times and was key to out flowing football, now there's walcott who cant get past anyone unless its an open sprint but gets applauded for doing nothing. I like theo but sadly he's top class rubbish

Well, that completely changes the outlook on this article then. I thought it was bs but didn't want to say.

Godlee 1 - 0 OP

Walcott only does well when we dominate and against weak full backs or teams who over-commit - when we are losing the midfield battle and it's really tough or teams sit back with decent full backs he is just useless.

The Ox is the real deal and a footballer - Walnut is a sprinter with a moderately good finishing ability.

Actually as Godlee says, the OP has got the stats completley wrong - if you go by stats alone Walcott shouldn't even be in the squad - he should be at home in his pants watching day-time TV
