'You can tell what a genius Arsène Wenger is'
By Richard Clarke
Theo Walcott has hailed Arsène Wenger as a “genius” who can fast-track him to football stardom like Cesc Fabregas.
The Spaniard arrived at Highbury in September 2003 aged 16 and in less than two-and-a-half years has become one of the world’s most exciting talents. He only turned 19 last Thursday but next week is set to play in the Champions League Final. The following month he will be at the World Cup with Spain.
Of course he will be joined in Germany by Walcott, who was the surprise selection in Sven Goran Eriksson’s England party. The youngster paid tribute to his Club manager’s abilities.
“Arsène Wenger rested Fabregas [at times] and look what he has done now,” said Walcott. “So you can tell what a genius Arsène Wenger is. Hopefully he’ll do that for me but I have to work hard in every training session. He was watching me when I was 14 so that shows the faith in me.”
Walcott’s inclusion came about after Sven Goran Eriksson went on a scouting mission to Arsenal’s Training Ground to check on the ex-Southampton striker.
“Ashley Cole and Sol Campbell said he had come to watch me aswell,” he said. “But I just wanted to train as normal.”
But then “normal” is perhaps a strange word to use when you are 17-years-old and yet working alongside legends.
“It is training with world class players every day,” said Walcott. “So I am only going to improve. Watching Dennis Bergkamp and Thierry Henry in every training session is special.
“Thierry’s finishing is unbelievable and Bergkamp is very professional. You can tell when he comes to training he is focussed on what he wants to do today.”

i think you dont watch soccer to much huh...or maybe you only watch ur fav team plays and don care abt other team.......b4 henry...there was ian wright alan smith, anelka....and this striker was a goal scoring machine....critics say if they leave arsenal no1 will ever score...they left and was replace by the same result....a goal scoring machine player.....and neither player were the same to 1 another except for their finishing.....yuh adebayor is no henry neither is van persie......when henry arrived he was no ian wright nor he was anelka except that he is french same as anelka....... So know the team well first b4 you talk crap and embarrassed urself to the fan who are loyal to this team
well.. i'll take back the statement about middle-placed teams pwning arsenal.. but still.. it will take time for Adebayor or Van Persie to become a prolific striker.. unless Arsenal buys a ready made one like maybe Torres.. and i'm sure Arsenal will be able to cope if Henry leaves, they also did when Vieria left.. but it will take time for the young arsenal team.. and if Wenger doesn't buy new players.. then Arsenal's gonna have a hard time during the first part of next season..

i would love to have some experienced plyers to balance the team. del piero's crossing is pretty good i might say.
