Arsenal star set for Italian job

Arsene Wenger’s sneaky plan to get rid of Theo Walcott seems to be in order as the Arsenal flop has set his sights on a transfer to Juventus.
The French gaffer has let Walcott’s contract run to an end and ignored the winger’s plea for an extension, while pretending to be desperate for the Lewis Hamilton look-a-like to stay at the club.
Walcott now finds himself behind Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in the Arsenal hierarchy and with less than a year left on his current contract, he is seeking pasta-ures new, with Italy his reported choice of destination.
Juventus fans must be thrilled with the possibility of signing another Arsenal reject, just weeks after being lumbered with part striker - part donkey Nicklas Bendtner.
Wenger and Steve Bould were seen having a giggle at Walcott’s expense during a training session this week, with the pair comparing him to an Alfa Romeo; expensive to buy and looks the part, but never fails to disappoint.

Inconsistent maybe, a flop? REALLY!?
And i'm sure your source for the Alfa joke was concrete!
I bet Arsene belittles all his players.....................
For the amount of money paid for the player, I believe so, yes.
Piss poor coaching I would definitely say. To have this roar talent and is no where near a finished article suggest the Arsenal are wasting time and lack important teaching skills resulting in a sort of hit n miss success rate regarding youth players and to some extent, some senior players as well.
