Of course we will no way he won't be.

Ox is stubbornly talented and there's a distinct danger of him entertaining the fans. Sticking him in a holding role could correct that but I'm not so sure. He could still produce exciting football so it's probably safest to leave him on the bench and bring him on late so he has less chance to disrupt our style of play. That said, there will be times when it would be prudent to allow him to impress in order to build his reputation and transfer fee.

Lol

I thought he was pretty poor against Pool. I expect him to be inconsistent at this level so I'm not surprised but he didn't have a good game at all.

What was slightly concerning was a couple of times he seemed to go down under a fair tackle and not bother getting up to chase back. Instead he looked fucked off, presumably with himself, and took an age to get up off the ground.

I do hope Wenger starts him again against Southampton at home as it's a good game for him and he needs to be given a chance to learn and progress. He's the sort of player who needs to play whereas I think Walcott is the opposite and is the sort of player who is at his best coming off the bench.

Hes getting a bumper new contract apparently :rolleyes:

Lol...hope Walcott is watching while he signs it.

Yeah I know, getting paid on potential...but to be honest, OX is a supreme talent IMHO, he's going to be a star for both us and England.

I personally don't think Arsene is that bothered about Theo hence why he's not prepared to fight to keep him, in fact I'd go as far as to say Theo is being frozen out of the team by Arsene.

I know this is an OX thread but IMHO Theo needs to be very very careful with the game he's playing, he could very well end up like Michael Owen if his next move isn't a success.
