Arsenal fans haven’t taken too well to Theo Walcott reinventing himself…again

Make your mind up, Theo.

Theo Walcott changing his mind at the most inopportune moment? Sounds far-fetched.

Of course, any Arsenal fan who has seen their team try to launch a counter-attack will know that Walcott’s decision-making is often ill-timed or just plain bad, and his latest off-field comments only add to that legacy.

Years after the winger insisted he was a striker, the striker has gone public with his assertion that he’s actually a winger. Still with us? Good.

“I have told the manager that I want to be known for playing on the right again,” the England international is quoted as saying by the Daily Mail.

“I can play up front. I want to know where I want to play. The manager has said I can play up front. It depends on what game it is.”

How do you reckon the fans-haters-fans reacted to the pronouncement from the winger-striker-winger? You guessed-didn’t guess-guessed it.

It looks like a busy summer at Arsenal, with the arrival of a new winger (Walcott) and a new centre-back (Francis Coquelin). And that’s not forgetting Jack Wilshere, who will surely be a new signing when (if?) he returns from his latest injury setback.
