Happens sometimes and when it does you move on to the next prospect. In this case that's Ox. A kid who may well play in the middle one day but right now seems to be doing just fine on the wing. That's because he has ability, regardless of where he's playing. That ability will carry him through to great things we hope. Theo's lack of general footballing ability has carried him as far as he's going to go, unless there's some sudden improvement that's so far failed to materialise in the many chances he's had to show he's worthy of greater responsibility.
Rubbish, play Ox as a wingback and he'd get exposed big time because he has no defensive ability and shouldn't be playing there in the first place. To continue playing him there for years when showing no signs of inprovement is poor management.

Your talking as is talent trumps everything and doesn't matter where you play but sorry it does in football. Why is the example of Bergkamp and Wright silly? Tell me.
