I was talking about the Walcott debate this morning at work and I'm beginning to see the sense.
Assuming he plays, my guess is this lad will play without fear.
Also, everytime Sven has picked a player that's raised a few eyebrows, their initial few games are usually good.
Vassell springs to mind.

I have a sneaky feeling he will be lucky to play though. Got a hunch my man Rooney will make it yet.
