Mourinho: I'd have played Theo
Jose Mourinho claims Theo Walcott would have gone to the World Cup this summer with first-team experience under his belt had he signed for Chelsea instead of Arsenal.
Walcott chose Arsenal ahead of Chelsea when he left Southampton for 5million in January, but he has yet to play a first-team game for the Gunners. The 17-year-old was a surprise inclusion in coach Sven-Goran Eriksson's England squad for the finals in Germany, but Mourinho insists had Walcott chosen Chelsea, he would be going to Germany with Premiership experience under his belt.
Mourinho, speaking at the launch of Sky One's Football Icon 2 programme, said: "At Arsenal Walcott has played zero minutes but at Chelsea he would have played against Blackburn and Newcastle. I would have played him against those teams like I did with Lassana Diarra. That is for sure."
