“Theo Walcott is a very young player, but has already shown in his performances for Southampton that he is a talented player with huge potential. I also like the fact that he is a versatile player who is incredibly dedicated, shows great determination to succeed and is blessed with electric pace. We are delighted Theo has signed for the club and will make a fantastic addition to our squad.”
Arsene Wenger
“Theo played gutsy, Marcum, too, all of them played good. I'm just happy we got out of this with a win. It's at least a building block.”
Fred Simon
“Theo and I have a good relationship.”
Grady Little
“We have not agreed to sell Theo. We want to keep him.”
Rupert Lowe
“Theo has really played well. He's one of our best defenders.”
Rodney Selph
“I've spoken to the chairman (Rupert Lowe) about it and Theo is going nowhere.”
George Burley
“The chairman spoke to me and he is very much 'Theo is not going anywhere' and his dad is keen for the boy to develop.”
