FA rules do not permit a player to go out on loan until they have signed a full pro contract i.e in Theo Walcotts case after March 2006. He was going to stay on loan at Southampton but the FA would not allow it.
Arsenal have sent him away on 10 weeks holiday. This is obviously to stop Chelsea getting at him between now and then, which they are perfectly entitled to do although Arsenal have paid £5m.
