Club: Liverpool
Case for
Liverpool may have finished below Arsenal in the league last season, but the Anfield side have shown a much greater level of ambition than the Gunners in the past couple of years when it comes to signings. Liverpool's American owners haven't been afraid to spend big money to better their team, whereas Arsenal have looked to austerity in an attempt to improve their own ranks. Walcott could potentially become one of several marquee signings for the Reds this summer, as part of Brendan Rodgers' Anfield revolution. The chance to taste glory as one of the men who brought Liverpool back to the top would be a big incentive for the Arsenal man.
Case against
The fact is that Walcott's current team were much better than Liverpool last season. Despite Brendan Rodgers' great success at Swansea, he remains an unproven manager at the highest level, and moving to Liverpool when they're in a period of transition is a risky move. At this point in time there really is no case to suggest Anfield is a better place to be than the Emirates.

He would fit in under Rodgers well - and was supposedly a Red as a kid.

I've felt the gooners have somewhat ruined Walcott.  So much promise as a young kid, and they've pretty much just taught him to run down the line as fast as he possibly could and try to get by people, it's all he really seems to try. 

I'd be happy if we signed him because I think Rogers could make him into a better player, and players like him would work well in Rogers' system, but I just don't see this happening.

I'm not too sure about walcott. If we are looking at young British talent then we should be going for Adam Johnson

He has great pace, but I've heard that he lacks the technical skills that he would need to become a great winger. Sound like anyone else we know *cough* downing *cough* But having said that, he is worth a bid if he is priced reasonably he has done well enough for the gooners in the past and he has certainly beat downing's goal and assist tally

I would love this to be true, i'm a fan of Walcott despite all the criticism he's had but to be honest this is the first i'm hearing his name linked with us this season, don't think this will happen.

He is a decent player, but he lacks intelligence and an end product.

He is far from "a perfect signing" as if he isn't doing well enough at Arsenal, why would he do it here?

I would be fine us signing him, but he needs to improve a lot to live up to his hype.

He's a bit of a headless chicken, but not the worst player in the world. I would hope we could do better, but I won't be too disappointed if we end up signing him.

I remember him passing through all liverpool players and making an assist for adebayor in the Champions League Quarter final.

That was four years ago and he has been inconsistent and lacking in product since.

But by your nonsensical reckoning, he must be Lionel Messi for one good run.

He has potential to be better, but he isn't worth the exorbitant transfer fee and wages that are likely to follow.

He's a better finisher than he is crosser.
