Talks have been going on for Walcott since early last season. He has constantly been delaying. Last season he wanted to wait until to see if we were in the Champions League, then it's because he wanted to demand where he plays. He is leaving and trying to get the fans onside by playing this game, he really wants to sign but just can't? Nasri did the exact same thing.
Besides it is his side that haven't come to the table:
