Charlie Nicholas : Theo Walcott should have joined Southampton over Everton
Theo Walcott would have been better off re-joining Southampton rather than
moving to Everton, according to Charlie Nicholas.
Walcott has scored five
goals in 19 Premier Little league appearance since his £20m move from Arsenal to
Everton in January, including two this season under new manager Marco
Silva.
The 29-year-old told Sky Sports he is enjoying lifestyle at Goodison
Park in an interview with Alex Scott ahead of Everton's meeting with
his former club at the Emirates Stadium in Super Sunday.
But Nicholas is
disappointed he's not getting more probabilities to play as a central striker
and feels a return to his boyhood club Southampton would have been a much better
fit for him.
"I think he's done okay since joining Everton, he's been one of
their better players from the new signings and has got a few goals," the Soccer
Saturday pundit told Sky Sports.
"Everyone knows Theo Walcott needs a lot of
possibilities to find the back of the net and it's an issue of whether he
matches the style at Everton, which he and his team-mates are still adapting to
under Marco Silva.
"Was it the right move for his career? I didn't think so.
He was at that point where no one knew whether he was a centre forward or a
winger, and it looks like he's playing on the proper for Everton.
"I actually
thought he would go back to Southampton - and he practically did, but I believe
Everton offered him an improved package and you can't blame him for
that.
"They say don't go back, but he still left St Mary's seeing that a
fresh-faced youngster and I believe the move there could have done him good with
their style of play.
"It will be interesting to see how he does against his
old golf club on Sunday."
