Sign Da Ting! (Walcott Sign's)

Theo Walcott has signed a new contract that will see him get £100,000 a week for 3 years at Arsenal. This comes after a array of dazzling performances from Walcott including a hat-trick against Newcastle. He currently has 14 goals this season and has been earning comparisons to Arsenal legend Thiery Henry after featuring in more of a central striker role. The deal will also make Theo Walcott the second highest paid player at Arsenal behind Lukas Podolski.

The 23 year old has a bright spark in what has been a quite inconsistent Arsenal team this season and remains Arsenal's top scorer this season with 14 goals in 21 games. That includes 2 hat-tricks against Reading and Newcastle. He has been a man in sizzling form. Though not recently. This deal does though come as a mighty relief to Arsenal fans who have been frustrated by the recent selling of Arsenal's key players such as Robin Van Persie, Cesc Fabregas, Samir Nasri and Alex Song.
Walcott had earlier expressed his frustration at having to settle for a place on the bench earlier on this season but since then he has established himself as a pacey centre forward for Arsenal though he does admit he is still learning that position.

Theo started off as a product of Southampton's illustrious academy and at the age of 16 he netted 4 goals in 21 games for the club (Speaking of Southampton Nigel Atkins has been sacked this afternoon). Still at the age of 16 he then signed for Arsenal where he was soon labelled as Arsenal's wonder-kid  Three seasons on from all that Arsene Wenger then said that Walcott had gone "from a boy, to a man, and shall soon be a monster". Whilst performing well in Arsenal colours and soon notching up the second highest amount of assists in a season (the highest was Cesc Fabregas) Walcott was a shock inclusion in the 2006 England World Cup squad at the age of 17 years old).  Walcott signed 3 year contract in 2010 and was set to be released in the summer which has lead to Arsenal fans making a infamous music video called "Sigh Da Ting" which is dedicated to this whole contract situation that has just be resolved. The video is below.

Though only 23, Theo Walcott has always been played out on the wide right for Arsenal but this season has been converted into a centre forward after expressing his desire to play there. With shear pace and sharpness many fans have been crying out for Walcott to be played in the centre forward role in the past. After a few dazzling performances in that role he has been drawn comparisons from Thierry Henry. Many people have come out to praise Walcott including Pep Guardiola who said "you would need a pistol to stop him" when describing Walcott's blistering pace.  Lionel Messi has also saluted Walcott in the past calling him "one of the most dangerous players I have ever played against". Not bad eh?

Would Walcott benefit from having a striking partner like Olivier Giroud? I think so. This would mean Arsene Wenger having to ditch his favourite 4-3-3 formation.
