Re the Ox.... sometimes it just takes time. Who'd have thought Coq would have become one of the best DM's in the Prem? Look how long it took him. Ox is only 22 so still very young. If he's still a bit crap by 25/26 then you can probably write him off.
NO - this is exactly what we have been doing with far too many players during the last 10 years. Like Theo, OX is brain-dead. He has pace & power but no end product due to a lack of footballing nous. 22 is not young for a quality footballer, most of the best players around were International regulars by then & performing consistently for their clubs. Ox always had raw potential but will fall away & not even be a regular at lower teams. Theo gets away with it because he occasionally get a few goals ( in amongst the 25 chances he misses ). Wenger seemed to want to turn Ox into a central midfielder which was a disastrous idea due to his ball control & passing ability. He is nothing more than a mediocre player & we have enough of them. We need proven quality & consistency if we are going to start to win the big trophies.
You lost me at Theo, I think he's quality.
Theo has been pretty crap during this latest spell between injuries. 500 chances needed to get 1 goal. He's not raising his game the way I thought he would. Same with Ox. Plenty of talent there and his willingness to take on players is a plus, but he's not taking it to the next level. Still time and there's definitely a ton of potential there but he needs to take his chances when he gets them. Ramsey is the same, a gear lower than he could be. Don't know what's up with them, hopefully they are getting ready to peak at the business end of the season.

He's quality at running fast. So can Jordan Rhodes at Blackburn but he's a better finisher. If we all want our club to have the success that we were promised with the stadium move, we all need to demand more than the mediocre players & team that Wenger has given us. Merts, Flamini, Arteta, Gibbs, Giroud, Ox, Rosicky, Campbell, Ospina, Debauchy - all far too mediocre or too old for us to progress & taking valuable places in the squad. Clearout & put the money raised towards actual quality.
Not everyone is a Messi or Ronaldo. Bale only started to blossoming around this age, likewise Alexis.
I do however agree with some of the "brainless" comments regarding Ox's play. He just has no idea what to do to postively contribute to the team. He's either running down blind alleys or trying some ridicolous pass which ends up losing the ball. However that's probably why we should still keep the faith in the Ox as that's easier to rectify than technical defiencies in his game.
