Good move for Theo Walcott?

Walcott has not really been a huge success at Everton, and it makes sense for him to move to Southampton on a loan deal.

The 31-year-old started his professional club football career at the Saints, and a return to St. Mary’s Stadium could enable him get back to his best, especially as he now seems to have got over the injury problems that severely affected him when he was at Arsenal.
