沃尔科特何去何从？
http://futnsoccer.com/2015/03/08/arsenal-resign-walcott/
文章很长很长，大家有兴趣的自己看原文。 捡几段有意思的翻译下。
Now, as Walcott’s contract is dwindling down, he wants a raise. In fact,
John Cross reports that Walcott wants to be in the “top-pay tier with Mesut Ozil(￡140,000-per-week) and Alexis Sanchez (￡130,000).” Whatever your thoughts may be on Ozil, you must agree that he is a superior player to Walcott.
这是文中的一段话，现在沃尔科特的合同期快到了，他想要涨薪，据JOHN CROSS的报道，小老虎希望能够与队里的顶薪一族：272 374 两人齐平，将薪水提升至 13-14万英镑/周左右。
a lot has changed since Walcott agreed his deal. Whereas once upon a
time Arsenal were reliant on Walcott’s explosive pace and direct style,
they now find themselves with a plethora of speed merchants in wide
areas, who in addition to pace, offer other skills (Oxlade-Chamberlain, Welbeck, Sanchez, and even Gnabry).
从签下上一份合同以来，很多事情已经改变了。从前阿森纳严重依赖沃尔科特迅捷无伦的速度和一往无前的比赛风格。但现在，他们在边路已经有了大把的好手可用，不但可以提供速度，同时还可提供其他的贡献。（张伯伦，维尔贝克，桑切斯，以及噬待上位的格那布里。
When Walcott is confident, he can score from every shot he takes, but
when he isn’t in form, he could miss every single shot he takes. It’s a
gamble, as you really don’t know if he’s going to curl it in or blast it
over when he’s one-on-one with the goalkeeper.
当沃尔科特信心满满的时候，他似乎每一次射门都会带来一个进球。但是，当他不在状态的时候，没有任何一脚会命中门框之内。这就是赌博啊， 当沃尔科特单对单的时候，你是真的搞不清他是会一击即中还是错失良机。
Injuries certainly haven’t helped his cause. Since 2009, Walcott has had 7 injuries that kept him out for more than one month at a time,
including one injury that kept him out for roughly 9 months (ACL
tear)**. He has had injuries from his ankle to groin to chest to
hamstring to shoulder and everything in between.
很明显，沃尔科特的伤病纪录也是触目惊心，2009年以来，沃尔科特已经有7次伤病修养时间长达一个月之上，还有一次是超过整整九个月都在养伤（大概说的是热刺那次，其实从退场到重新披挂上阵整整12个月）。他伤的部位也是五花八门，从脚踝，到腹股沟，到腿筋，到肩膀简直是无所不包。
And if Arsenal agree to his demands this
time, then they could be forced to restructure their wage system. What
if, upon hearing the news that Walcott is now a top earner, Laurent Koscielny and Aaron Ramsey
feel that they too deserve a raise? Both of them are just as important
as Walcott, if not more. Then Arsenal’s system, one that has been lauded
for it’s economic brilliance, is left in tatters.
如果答应了沃尔科特的涨薪要求，俱乐部可能被迫面临工资结构的重新构建。假如说，当听闻沃尔科特成为了队内的顶薪一族后，科斯切尔尼，拉姆塞也感觉配得上涨薪呢，论起对俱乐部的重要程度，这两位可是不遑多让的。若是满足了沃尔科特的意愿，那么长久以来，阿森纳让外界广为称道的经济模式，可是有要坍塌的风险了。
What does Arsene Wenger do? My advice would be to act as ruthless at Jose Mourinho
— it’s hard to pay him a complement — and sell Walcott. But Wenger is a
person with feelings, unlike Mourinho, and has become attached to
Walcott, a boy he attempted to turn into a world-class player.
温格应该怎么做？ （作者）建议：应该仿效穆里尼奥的冷酷无情-将沃尔科特出售。 但是，温格不是穆里尼奥，他在沃尔科特身上倾注了一些个人情感，一直期待他成为一名世界级的球员。
He sees Walcott as a long-term project; whereby admitting defeat will
make him feel that he no longer has the ability to take raw players and
turn them into superstars. Arsene is, after all, a very stubborn man.
One more likely to keep trying than admit defeat, whatever the costs may
be.
温格将沃尔科特视为可以打磨的长期目标。将沃尔科特出售 会让温格有挫败感- 失去了将一名幼苗培养成超级巨星那种点石成金的魔力。毕竟，阿尔塞纳是一个非常固执的老人，不管代价有多大，他也会执着的不断尝试，而不是坦然接受失败。
