ACLs dont necessarily hurt too much especially when you are concentrating on friends who pay to obtain the correct score :wink:

Cheers! A timely come back. Yeah Theo taunting the vermin probably dulled the pain.

6 months!! Gutted. Our title chances just took an almighty hit!

Gnabry and especially The Ox need to step up... And we NEED another striker, NOW!

Anyone else think Walcott has been learning from Henry in training?

The timing and angle of his runs, the extra confidence, the willingness to shoot?
The winding up of vermin?

All that was missing was a spastic in a GAP jumper :lol:

i'm really genuinely gutted for him - he looked good in his comeback and now he's done for the season. i don't really care about the WC but i'm sure he did after the Sven debacle.

I was really hoping this would be his year to justify our faith and the big wages.

on the flip side, we now need to go out and get or get on loan a replacement - Ox is not there yet and i'm not sure gnabry has his pace (or does he, i've only seen Gnabs play twice...)

i did my ACL - 11 weeks on crutches. its a fucker but not that painful just a dull ache and no strenth in your knee - 13 years later and i still have to do muscle group exercises to keep it supported n strong.

poor bloke.

Good article here from Paul Hayward.
I agree with his premise that Walcott's absence is not good for us, but that buying a striker is more important and was needed even before Walcott's injury which in itself is damaging to our title ambitions but will not neccessarily end them, but failure to buy a striker could.

While we're bringing up old threads from the past.......I just couldn't resist :D

I was initially pleased that Theo was eased back in after injury rather than rushed back in, but not getting onto the pitch tonight looks like a snub by Wenger, especially with Welbeck getting a starting role and an opportunity when Oxlade-Chamberlain went off.

Walcott was benched last time he was re-negotiating his contract, is this a case of another round of contract negotiations with Wenger benching him until he signs da ting?
Or some other reason?

We do have a lot of wide men - Alexis Sanchez, Welbeck, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Gnabry, Maitland-Niles, plus Ozil and Cazorla who are played wide at times, but to let Theo go is a risk.

Welbeck is occasionally needed up front, Oxlade-Chamberlain prone to short term injuries, Gnabry is returning from an 11 month long injury and is also inexperienced though promising, Maitland-Niles is unproven, Ozil best central.

Walcott should now be approaching his peak.
He has critics, but was in good form prior to injury and is a big game player, plus with Diaby off is the longest serving player at the club.

On a personal note, if we are going to let players go this summer I would let Diaby, Arteta, Flamini and Wilshere go before Walcott.

I hope Theo gets a run out soon, the last few matches seeing him warm up and being left off has to be tough to deal with, especially today where Wenger seemed to change his mind at the last minute.

IMO he'd be a lot more effective with Webeck up top, as we saw what Welbeck's pace can do tonight. Giroud holding the line at CF is less apt to allow Theo to play to his strenghts and minimize his weaknesses.

We need 3 goals at Monaco, that would be the best time to unleash the pacy lineup I've waited for all season: Ozil at CAM, Theo and Sanchez on the wings and Welbeck up top.

He is being frozen out of the club. It is plain as day to see.
