I was just watching Wenger's press conference and it sounds to me as if Ox has already decided to leave, hardly a surprise. Wenger sounds desperate with his rhetoric about wanting to build the team around OX in the future and that OX has a duty to stay and whatnot because we have invested a lot of time in him.
I wouldn't be surprised if we sold both Ox and Alexis before the window closes, they both clearly want out.
Watch Wenger closely during that press conference. It's obvious when he's lying. He's all smiles and smirks and his language falls apart when he's telling his tired old lies. But then watch him when he's speaking about other clubs, the smiles and smirks vanish and he starts speaking with clarity. In that interview he lied and obfuscated on Mustafi, Ox, Alexis and Lemar. But he was all the business when talking about Coutinho.

Ideal or No Deal.
Reports from various sources saying Ox has rejected a 180k offer and is determined to get out of Arsenal to further his England career. Makes perfect sense, unfortunately. Even more unfortunate is the suggestion we're prepared to sell him to the chavs for as little as 25 mill. In this market he'll be instantly worth 60 mill when he signs a new contract. Wenger has done it again, ruined the progress of a young prospect and managed to cash out at the lowest valuation. That could be because the guy is the biggest dickhead in football.
