When you watch Ox compared to someone like Raheem Sterling there really is no contest as to who the biggest talent is.
Ox would have been better off staying at Southampton. He'd be playing every week.
Theo is miles better than Ox.

The hype was created by others. . .time needs to be given by us. . .he is obviously not a bad player
Sterling is doing well (had a decent game against Swansea from what I saw) because he is playing every week. . .benefitting from that, there is no doubt.
Kids fuckin 18 or 19 or summit.
You guys
He'll be fucking awesome. We're just clutching at straws because we have no reliable back up, and asking a kid to be our saviour.
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
No doubt he's a talent, it's not his fault that in some ways Arsenal is not the most ideal place for a young player to develop, despite the perception that we are the best for young talent.
It is THE best place for a young talent to develop.
Get to 23/24 and then shift on for the big bucks. That's what they all do.
I can't believe that we are now saying we don't produce good players
This is the major problem. We produce loads of good players, and then they all fuck off!!

We shouldn't be spending £12m on unproven players like Ox. It's not as if he was an obvious world beater at a young age (like Cesc and Jack) so the £12m was for a luxury that we cannot afford.
£12m could have been far better spent.
I don't expect him to be the finished product, I just don't think he's managed to find the level he was playing at when he first came into the team. I'm not knocking him its just an observation.
Quite possibly. But then somebody else would have bought him, and then in two years time, we'd be bemoaning why we didn't stump up the extra cash.
I can't believe people are even having this concersation. It's absurd.
There are far more worrying things going on at this club.
