Wenger: Theo still not ready

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger believes that winger Theo Walcott is still not the finished article; and still not ready to be guaranteed a first team place in the Arsenal side.

Wenger said: "He is making a big impact. He has it in the locker to be a great player but when he starts a game we need him to make a consistent contribution.

"That special thing can make the difference. I know patience is not the biggest quality in society but we need to have it. He's going to be a striker but at the moment he's a winger - not a midfielder."
