Theo tips Gunners for silverware

01 October 2009 16:11
Walcott agreed new terms towards the end of last season and is determined to win his first silverware since arriving from Southampton in 2006, the season after Arsenal lifted their last cup. Walcott, who is expected to be available for Sunday's Premier League clash against Blackburn after recovering from a side strain, said: "I signed because I have got a lot of belief in the club and in the team. "We have gained a lot of experience over the last few years and although we haven't won any trophies, I think that will change this year. "If you want to win trophies, it is important to keep the group together - Manchester United are a good example of that. "This summer, Robin (Van Persie), Nicklas (Bendtner), Kieran [Gibbs] and a few others signed new contracts and I firmly believe we can win things here. We've also added to the squad with Thomas Vermaelen and for me he is a top lad - he's our top scorer too. "He has settled in really well and he's such a nice guy. I have trained with him a few times now and he's a very tough competitor. "He has got an absolutely great leap on him too - he will win a header against anyone. I reckon he would beat Peter Crouch in the air."
