Link <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Arsenal have moved to clarify Theo Walcott's situation at Emirates Stadium, amid talk he could be allowed to leave the club on loan. The England international has struggled to find anything like top form since moving to the capital from Southampton and despite a bright start to the season, he has faded badly ever since. An anonymous display in Arsenal's 5-1 thumping at the hands of North London rivals Tottenham on Tuesday fuelled talk that he could be heading for the exit door; a notion that was given credence when in his post-match appraisal Arsene Wenger stated that he now knew who was ready for first team football - and who was not. Championship promotion hopefuls Stoke confirmed they would make an approach for Walcott on Thursday, while The Times reported on Friday that Liverpool had had an offer of their own spurned. However, with Arsenal still gunning for silverware on three fronts, they have now rejected the idea of Walcott leaving the club on a temporary basis. "No, because we are very short," said Wenger to Arsenal TV, when quizzed on whether he would allow any of his youngsters to leave on loan. "We have 17 players at the moment, and you could see with the players who were on the bench at Tottenham that they should not have been on the bench there."</div>
I don't mid if they loan him out, he will get more playing time on some other club, he's not a key player for us right now.
Yeah, Sheffield United would be a good team for him to get loaned out too, Valuable first team experience.
