Strong whispers coming from the Arsenal camp that Walcott is on his way out in January, with Oxlade-Chamberlain the preferred option on the right. Those same whispers are suggesting that Cortese is actively expressing an interest in Walcott, who due to a lack of game time at Arsenal is unlikely to attract interest from either of the Manchesters or any big European clubs.

I can see us having interest in Walcott. I know loads of people are going to give me stick, but I wont get too excited if we do get him. I think he is a poor footballer who happens to be very fast. Sure, he'll get the odd goal and maybe even the odd match winning performance, but he would certainly be frustrating and spurn chances too. His end product is normally pretty bad. It's interesting only because he'd be cheap. I'd rather spend the money elsewhere. Fact is, he's an expensive punt Wenger made that hasn't really made it. Look at Ox - he has got better and better and now still a teenager, he is far better than Walcott.

Southampton have sent scouts to the last 2 portos matches to watch winger james rodríguez.
Nigel adkins wants him in january to play on the oppersite side to rameriz .

Isn't this the same player Man U were after this summer, but couldn't get a bid accepted?

Walcott seems like a more likely (and perhaps more affordable) option in my opinion, but I've been wrong before...

Aussie Saint

Absolute rubbish. James Rodriguez is worth a lot of money due to his high potential. No way would he move to Saints from Porto and even if he wanted too, it would take a fee larger than we paid for Ramirez.

Agree5 Disagree3

Could be that Adkins sense of humour wants to confuse the commentators by playeing two Rodriguez's and a Ramirez!

Saint Martin

Agree5 Disagree2

Can happen, people thought we wouldnt get rameriz, and we showed just how wrong they are

Agree4 Disagree0

I think such a deal would be totally unrealistc, but we have Ramirez now anyway so don't need more wingers
