Arsene was too busy giving Walcott just that one last chance (and 50th new contract).Quote:

Talented player....I felt at the time he had the potential to be far better than both Theo and Ox but he had his issues.
Look...after a while people grow up...question is how long do you wait...sometimes you admit it isn’t working, shake hands and part ways.
Just like Mustafi and Xhaka in the summer.
They might both return to Germany and be superstars but that doesn’t me we got things wrong with them.
Also wasn’t it just last week people were moaning about how pow poor the Bundesliga is after Tottenham had their way with Dortmund?
Seen. Good post. We can't have everything.

With that being said, goddamn. Walcott. :Shakes head:
He doesn't get in the Bayern side when a 35-year-old arthritic Robben is "fit". He had a good five minutes last night but was wasteful for most of the time he was on the pitch. If Iwobi put in a performance like that (and he does tbf) he would be pannedQuote:

Undoubtedly talented though - but wouldn't be at Bayern if he wasn't German imo. They are crying out for young German talent, really. Müller's star is on the wane, nothing really coming through the youth system since Kimmich (and let's face it, full backs aren't sexy) and the next big hope is a Canadian ffs. Goretzka and Gnabry are there best chanceQuote:

I stuck to The Looming Tower on Amazon Prime.
Yes, they still have quality and a great deal of nous.Quote:

Indeed - I love Thiago. Strangely unpopular with a lot of Bayern fans though :shrug:Quote:
