I believe that there is an over-reliance on stats these days and they can be manipulated to support pretty much any argument. That said, there are times when they help make you appreciate someone more.

The other day I had a discussion with someone who was of the opinion that Walcott is not a good player. Then I came across this table and I thought I'd share it as it may help to change people's minds. I think it shows that he is truly growing into a quality player.

Disclaimer: this table is 1 week old. Still, the point remains valid

Walcott need one thing: grow up, take the responsibility for the the match and be the key of Arsenal next possible success
love this pic.

Don't want to start an argument all over again, but THAT'S part of why I think people give Cazorla too much praise for what he does. Walcott and Podolski, in my opinion, are brilliant players who would make a spot in close to every team in the world, and both of them are at least as important to Arsenal as Cazorla if you ask me.

Also, I really think Walcott is one of the most fun players to watch. He's truly grown immensely the last couple of seasons.

All I know is: if there was one player I could poach from the Emirates, it would be Cazorla, not Walcott or Podolski.

I for one would indubitably chosen Walcott. =)
