Theo Walcott, Young and Idealist

According to Theo Walcott: “…People go on about money and contracts, but for me it’s always going to be about the football.”

Typical of young people – idealistic. The 19 year old plays for Arsenal. He was the youngest to play for Southampton first team, at 16 years old. He was purchased by Arsenal for an initial fee of 5 million pounds.

I hope he will not change his mindset. He won’t make decisions based on money and contracts.
