Arsenal - paying too much for Walcott?

He's young so i suppose 12mill is a good deal , they will get alot out of him. And is he the one who is apparently going to be the new Henry ?

It's not really, they're only paying £5m up front, and paying the other 7 over the next few years. Still a lot of money though..

arsenal is a bit too poor to afford more players

In all fairness, footballers in general are paid way to much. £5,000-£100,000 a week to do what? entertain and play a game. And paying £12million for one person is crazy. I could understand if this person was like superman who could protect the town from like the joker and mojojojo but to play a game, never

i think 12 mil is a little to much for arsenal, but of course we want the young players, and for only 16 he'll probley turn out as a good player for arsenal in the future. i dont really no it if was a good deal or not, ill say in about 3 years time ;P

nba players get paid more i think
