On the 'ead son!
Everton have put in a £20m bid for Theo Walcott. He's been a bench warmer for Arsenal for some time now, but could do a job. He has the speed, and he's scored 100 for the Gunners. Worth a punt, or not?
Can he play up front on his own? I doubt it. So probably not what we need as his pace is not matched by strength and power.

Would he choose us over Everton/any established prem club not in the bottom three .. probably not. Could we afford his wages ....probably not. Worth a punt .... probably not (unless we want to drive up the asking price for another club).
You're against? Then I'm IN!!!!!
Its the wages, innit. We could pay, but this would automatically drag up at least one other player (whoever it is who is contracted to be our highest paid player) UNLESS clever Tony pursuades said player to 'stick' in the 'national intrest' rather than 'twist' so to speak.
Yes, yes, I am LIKING this more and more
He may not want a permanent deal. He might want to try a 'Jack Wilshere', and do a loan deal till the end of the season to re-establish his credentials at Arsenal and England.
Not only the wages Hwt. I can't see him ever choosing a newly promoted/ likely relegation candidate over the numerous other safer/bigger names that would be in for him (even if we offered more £).
