In a stunning move made by Sven Goran Erikkson, to select players for the English squad to play in the forthcoming World Cup in Germany, the Swede has boldly given Arsenal's wonderkid Theo Walcott the call to the squad and has snubbed the likes of Darren Bent, Shaun Wright Philips and Jermaine Defoe in the process. Whooooaaaa!!
Its absolutely amazing especially given the fact that Theo is not only too young but has never even played in the Premiership before. He is yet to appear for the Gunners. Though Wenger had named Walcott many a times recently but situations that were favourable enough to give Theo is debut never arose. Obvioulsy, this unprecedented / shockening selection has raised many a eyebrows but Sven stands by his decision which he portrays as a gamble that he is willing to take. So do we gooners.
Most importantly, Sven himself is the sole responsible for the selection of Theo. He didnt arrived at this crucial decision on somebodys else's say or jointly. We all know, that Wenger does surely rates Walcott highly and when approacched by Sven Wenger promptly recommended Theo to Sven as World Cup material. That was it! Nothing more! Sven then himself took this all important decision.
If that does happen and we as fans do hope that it does happens so then what a Gunner will Walcott be!! The news is made more sweeter by Svens snubbing of Chelseas Shaun Wright Phillips on the pretext of not having enough first team exposure this season. The same being the case for Defoe. Incredibly for Walcott, he has already beaten two players belonging to our arch rivals without even kicking a ball for Arsenal yet. Hahahahahaha!!
Wenger has again pulled off a hat. Only this time, the hat was one that, if not for Wenger's brilliance in talent-spotting and magnetic personality, could have been worn by of Morinho and Jol.
