The response has been pretty staggering. It’s not too often you see a player move from one Premier League club to another with little to no negativity from fans. In fact the messages directed to Walcott have been full of praise and best wishes from almost every corner. Here’s just a sampling:
From Arsenal supporters
Good luck Theo! Hopefully you get into the England squad now! Just don't score against us #GoodLuckTheo #Rolemodel

Thank you @theowalcott for your services at @Arsenal. You have brought me many happy days. 12 Years, over 100 goals in about 400 Games. Not a bad record.
