Cesc’s Dream Partnership: Messi & Walcott

119 comments November 23rd, 2006

“If I had to choose two players it would be him and Lionel Messi, because I saw what he could do at Barcelona. For me they are the two best players I have seen at 16 to 17.”

It’s glowing praise from a guy who was himself turning in incredible performances at that age. It seems that whatever Cesc has seen in training from young Theo, he likes, with last night being the proof of the pudding:

“He is the best player of that age playing in the Premiership, definitely. When Theo comes on for the last 15 or 20 minutes you can see he can do something. He’s so quick, so powerful and showed that once again this evening. For the third goal I thought he had gone too far but he put it perfectly on Baptista’s head.”

It’s interesting that he picks up on Walcott’s “power”. Arsene Wenger himself has noted that he expects the teenager to mature into a stocky, “Sylvain Wiltord” shape, hence his reluctance to move for Carlos Tevez.

As long as he proves more consistent at something other than running round in circles than Sylvain did, we could be onto a winner…
