What Does Arsene Wenger Do with Theo Walcott?

Callum D'SouzaFeb 12, 2010

When Arsene Wenger signed 16-year-old Theo Walcott from Southampton during the January transfer window in 2006, it was evident why Wenger had signed the youngster. Walcott had impressed many during his time at the Saints thanks to his blistering speed, balance, and control, plus his sometimes lethal finish.

It was clear Theo Walcott had a big future in the Premiership and for England.

But now, after four seasons with the Gunners, Walcott hasn't made as big an impact as many would have liked. The Englishman has struggled for a while with fitness and injuries. Arguably his most successful season came last season when Walcott appeared 35 times and netted seven goals.

There was also his memorable hat-trick against Croatia in the World Cup Qualifiers that really established the 20-year-old.

But now the England quick is struggling for form and has rarely contributed so far this season. Fans are getting increasingly frustrated and worried with "Theo." Walcott is clearly lacking in confidence, and after his recent performance, the former Southampton striker is also lacking in control and decision making.

With Walcott's searing pace the England international can be a huge attacking threat, however, Walcott can tend to be clumsy and weak with the ball. At 20, Walcott is already experienced, but should Wenger have loaned out the speedster along with Wilshere?

With Arsenal needing to win all their matches if they want to provide Chelsea and Manchester United with title competition, Wenger cannot afford to have a lacklustre attacker on the field. Plus, with European Championships quickly approaching, what does Wenger do with Theo Walcott?
