What's happening with this guy? England's youngest ever international, but I have not seen his name in the headlines since his debut or on anybody's prospect list.

He has played the last two games for Arsenal, and is just about their only English player anywhere near the first team.
If you didn't see any headlines perhaps you should have paid closer attention to last year's Carling Cup final, where he scored the opening goal :shrug:
He'll play for England many, many times IMHO.

Playing ok. Final delivery not good enough, but still a very good prospect.
One day he might be good enough for your beloved Chelsea. lol

He didn't do his homework so his dad grounded him for a month, thats why he hasn't played for a while.

I'd say he's at the best club to eventually bring out the best in him.

some of the criticism he gets is insane - he's streets ahead of most 18-year-olds and has a long way to go until he even touches his potential... can't WAIT to see that!!

Spot on. He's 18 and I can't think of many other English players of his age who have the same potential.

There have been a few in recent times, Rooney, Owen and Rio Ferdinand are three who come to mind as being young internationals who have gone on to have decent careers.
I would, however, suggest that Walcott could be better than all of them, he's quicker than Owen was for a start and if he is luckier with injuries and development he might make a bigger impact.
He'd be playing at most other Premiership clubs and would probably be in the England reckoning, if he isn't already.

There is no indication that he's not being serious which is the most worrying thing.

Micah Richards at 19 looks like he has the lot and is potentially the England captain of the next generation.

Real blow - shame for him and us. Not that we'll do anything but quite like the fact that he has a sense of humour and seems decent when interviewed.

May be an issue for the bees tho as it may force Arsenal to buy. If they look at Berbatov who has been mentioned does that mean that Fulham are short of strikers which may mean they will not renew Marcello's loan til end if season?

If Fulham seriously considering Trotta for a Premiership relegation scrap great news they're heading down.
He's not nailed on for a start for us let alone a top tier side.

Disagree entirely. Was something Tony Roberts (one of my favourite opposition players) would do. It was banter.

On TalkSport yesterday evening when I was driving home, they had Spurs fans on accusing Walcott of inciting the fans and saying he should be done by the FA. In response Ray Houghton was questioning the guy about the coin throwing at Walcott and why is that Spurs fans can give abuse but couldnt take it back .. the Spurs fan was lost for words and kept trying dodge the question .. Idiot!
Big loss for England .. I like Walcott great player

Not sure I agree with 'great', but a player they can't really replace: runs at defenses with pace, gets to the endline. After him there's Lennon at Spurs, and...umm..

Andros Townsend ?
Anyway - getting to the end line is all very good, but some one with a decent cross and shot on goals would be good.
Walcott is a player who (a bit like Donaldson) often fluffs chances that he has too much time to think about.

I agree, I'd hardly call him 'great'. But your example says what I said: no real replacement. Townsend has flattered and may be the real thing, but I think he's beginning to be found out.
Wolcott does fluff chance, he doesn't really have a replacement.

In all honesty I can't see him ever being Prem class.
No amount of League One game time will enable him to find the skill to win balls in the air against defenders or develop a decent enough pace which is especially required at a higher level
Why Fulham keep having him on their books is a mystery to me.

Maybe they have no better alternatives coming through...and aren't 'prem class' either. He could do well at Championship level next year for us or F****m.
Theo Walcott
But you're talking about a team with Berbatov upfront.
Could you really invisage MT partnering him??

Absolutely.
Explains why eg he has only scored 5 goals in 36 games for England (a team which wins most of its games) and also why Wenger clearly doesn't trust him to lead the line at the Emirates.
His pace and his (by now) experience make him a very good Premier League player, especially under a Manager who knows how to get the best out of him.
But whilst he may be the best player of his type at Hodgson's disposal, that still doesn't mean he's up to international football, particularly at the level of a major Tournament finals (imo).
Theo Walcott
it was confirmed that coins were hitting him before he did it in good spirits, anyone who thinks any different.. go check out the facts.. karma my ****ing arse..

It's a sickener for Walcott, though he's just not an England player it seems, whereas someone of the same ilk, Welbeck, is a better player at international level than at club level...I thought that long before the pundits came to that conclusion. Carroll could well be better (less bad?) at international level too, in tournaments against the better teams when England's heads have gone and they need to revert to type (long ball and set pieces).

Yes a bit unlucky with a couple of big injuries.
600 games though.
Didnt quite reach the heights IMO. A goal every 5-6 games.

A good footballer who never became great, as hinted at early on. Career blighted by injury and indifferent decision making on the field.
