My judgement is harsh because of the price we paid for him. We're gambling on him becoming a star. This is fine if we can afford to spunk £12m on a bet but we can't. Our first team is shite and £12m would go a long way to improving it.
When we spunked big bucks on a teenage Theo the gamble was worth it because we had a fantastic first team.
Now we don't.
We payed for his potential rather then gambled on him being a star straight away. End of the day For these types of players this is the going rate. Had we not got him he'd have been sold to the mancs or chavs for the same then you'd be moaning why did we not get him etc.
There you go Ox don't have the luxury that Theo had. Ox has to work harder cause we don't have those players to help him. To say he is crap is ridiculous.When we spunked big bucks on a teenage Theo the gamble was worth it because we had a fantastic first team.
For £12m Ox is crap. There is no disputing that.
Maybe he'll come good, maybe he won't.
