Theo Walcott.....The new Theo-ry Henry ?

Question

Do you think Walcott can be the next Henry ? Or even come close ? lol I see hes got his hair-cut like him, and the way of taking on defenders is a bit like the way Henry did when he was 21 and 22. Theo is only 19, and has about 15 years of football left in him. I can see him becoming one of the most feared players in the Premiership, bit more of ball control & strength to muscle out defenders and he can be a great player. From what he did last season at Anfield, like a bullet beating 6 defenders, one after the other to set up Adebayor.... he has already shown what hes all about. I'm not comparing him to Henry or anything because he got the #14 shirt [I am against that]..Do you agree with me ? Will Theo Walcott be one of the, if not the most feared player in the Premiership in a few years ?

Thanks for any answers :D

Answer 1

Arsenal sucks,not to mention walcott(wild c**k).

Answer 2

your comparison is really interesting, but I think he is very far from henry (emphasis on henry's outstanding days in arsenal) at the moment,  and theo's potential doesn't let him be a superstar.

Answer 3

So first of all you start off comparing the two, then at the end you say "I'm not comparing him to Henry .." .... yes you were!

Still, my opinion, don't try to compare two players, (especially not about hair cuts! good grief!) who just because they play/played for the same team, have certain similarities and are both very fast.

Thierry IS a legend ... Theo WILL BE a legend .... in their own rights, for their own achievements, for their own goals, for their own talents.

I think all Footballers have someone they look up to and try to emulate, perhaps Theo has done this with Thierry, hense the similarities but as you said he's got about another 15 years of his Footballing career ahead of him .... plenty of time to become THEO WALCOTT - ENGLISH LEGEND.

Answer 4

I like Walcott a lot and he will only get better, maybe  two more years before he peaks but he will be a massive hit in the Premier league.Henry was pure class and is still my all time favourite premiership player even though i am not an Arsenal fan  and Walcott still has a long way to go before he can be classed in the same league but he certainly has the skill and class to give it a go .If Wenger gives him regular games this season then we should get a glimpse of a very bright future for both Walcott and Arsenal.

Answer 5

He wont be the new Henry - he will be himself and he will be world class soon enough, give him time!

Answer 6

YEah theo is showing henry quality's and sometimes shows he can be greater than henry considering he is on 20 and can get better and out shine henry in arsenal and become the new arsenal legend

Answer 7

I hope so. Theo has great skill and does look like the new Henry. He has said that Thierry was one of his idol's. He now wears no .14 so maybe he can be the new Henry. He did something special at Anfield. I think in a few years, once he's got everything right, he'll be one the best players in the premiership and will definately do well!



:]

Answer 8

right now

NO

in the future

.......

NO

to be as good as henry you need something that you cannot learn or train for

it needs to be in your blood

players like ronaldinho, messi, ronaldo, kaka and torres have it

walcott does not

BUT

i do see him making i big impact this season

and for the rest of his career

he will become very important for arsenal soon

and will be regarded as a top european player as well

but that will take time

i think by the time he is 21 he will have had a lot of champions league and premiership experience which will make him a much better player

Answer 9

yes,i think he will be.this is just the beggining of his career and he is doing pretty well

he is a very fast player and that is always beneficial to the team to have one.he is the player to be feared,no doubt about it

Answer 10

Hello Thierry is a legend yes

All Gooners love him even me but how about IAN WRIGHT!!

I think he will be the next Ian Wright

All of a sudden everybody forgets about Wright

He was a legend

Used to scare defenders silly with his pace

Have all have u forgotten

sure Henry i love watching him play but how about Wright

Theo Walcott has everything that Wright had

for me he is the next Ian Wright

We havent had 1 of them in a long time!

Go Walcott!

Answer 11

Theo is a legend in the making; his time has come. he'll someday break records because he's got an amazing speed and skills.

Answer 12

Walcott has a great chance of becoming the next big thing, thats if he stays at Arsenal for long,

he is rather good, and if he can bring the brilliance like anfields' more often.

Answer 13

I think Theo will be better than henry was in a few years for sure if he doesn't suffer any serious injury.

Eboue should have been sold, why does wenger insist on playing him in the midfield. It was so d**n frustating last year seeing him as a right winger. His best position is right back and he is not that good at it either.  

Answer 14

Nope

his set pieces, composure, first touch and finishing were awful, he need a lot of practice and big matches

Answer 15

I do agree with you! Theres nothing wrong with comparing the two it just goes to show that Theo admires Henry's way of football yet he still adds his own touch to it! ya know! like u said he still has time to play a lot of football and he will have a chance to grow from it and become a star of his own and have other youngsters look up to him as he does to henry! Theo is really talented and shows it on the field, he is capable of much much more! I wish him the best of luck and hope to see him accomplish a lot for Arsenal and himself!

Answer 16

I doubt it...he might end up a really good player, but right now, i haven't seen any traces of those clinical finishes that Henry had in Walcott. I know he's still young, but rather than becoming Henry he might become a really pacy striker but without as much brilliance as Henry...

Answer 17

My Fifa 07 predicts he, along with Clichy, will be the best player in the world!

It also says Senderos will be third best :S

Answer 18

yes he can but still has a bit to go.
