Arsenal legend Ian Wright talks to Absolute radio every-week about his thoughts on Arsenal and the Premier league and on this week’s edition Wright talks about the situation of Arsenal contract rebel Theo Walcott and feels that the winger will leave the Gunners to play for Manchester United following the path of his friend Robin Van Persie.
Walcott’s contract is due at the end this season and the player is yet to sign a contract which has led to the speculation about his future. And as always premeir league giants Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool are all chasing the England ace.
Wright told Absolute Radio:
It would be a major loss, because I think that when you look at Theo for me single-handedly against Reading he brought them back into the game and I feel that if Theo was playing last night, whatever people want to say about him I think he would have done something in the game. I feel that if Manchester United are genuinely in for Theo, which I think £8 million if it was…
“Yeah, for £8 million I could see Manchester United. Manchester United could take Michael Owen and put him on the bench all be it for free and that, because of what he could do. Then Theo Walcott with his pace, with his ability, with the fact that he’s got a thick skin Theo, he could take stick. I think that if Manchester United are in that’s it he’s gone.”
What do you guys feel? Will Walcott stay or leave ?
