Walcott will make a great pundit - will be a breath of fresh air to hear him talking sense in this era where 'banter' and fake outrage to be clipped up for social media seem to reign supreme...

[@WOOOPdoctorFROGhere]

it depends. The well spoken pundits never say what they're truly thinking. They are too polite to call a spade a spade. For example I couldn't see Walcott pointing out how rubbish Maguire is

[@sponish0]

Agreed also he was never a particularly high IQ player so can't see him doing in depth technical analysis. @@WOOOPdoctorFROGhere

[@CB-ft8zw]

He just said he supports Liverpool and thinks Van Persie was a better finisher than Henry so he is clearly saying what he thinks.@@WOOOPdoctorFROGhere

i like walcott as a person allot but he wouldnt mke a great pundit its pretty obvious

[@Hugh.G.Rection.]

Sadly, Walcott’s character is not what makes a successful pundit. ‘Banter’ and fake outrage is what people think they want to see. No room for down-to-earth, non-attention seeking people like Walcott.

Well, that's cos whenever we got close, we sold our best player.

[@ianelliott549]

@@richardsmith9615 no, it's because wenger had a blind spot when it came to goalkeepers and centre backs. All he had to do was sign 2 strong centre backs and an experienced keeper to compliment the array of attacking talent and Arsenal would have been up there. I remember him saying no to Marc Schwarzer from Fulham for £3m as he thought he could make a top class keeper out of Almunia. Then he had the chance to sign Jagielka, Distin and Cahill all for very reasonable prices but chose to spend more money on Vermaelen and Koscielny.... who were never upto it 🤷‍♂️

[@N2theLAS]

You mention 4 offensive players and state we had a great team, mate come on. We had some great players going forward, but like the saying goes "Offense wins you games, Defense wins you championships" and we were severely lacking in the defense department.
