I like Perez and feel he absolutely would be suited to back up on those two forward positions but Ox is not a great goal threat and both he and Perez have one foot out the door.
The position we're in we may not even have Perez or Ox when the season starts so then what .........
Imagine the very possible scenario of going into next season without .........
Sanchez, Ox, Perez and on top of that some of you are saying Theo and Welbeck?
Sanchez regardless, we are then left with Iwobi, I like Iwobi but is he really going to be the only viable back up for both Ozil and Sanchez?
MesutOzil011 saying Niles and co is ridiculous for first team consideration, they are Carling Cup / FA Cup worthy at best at this point.
How many times have our Akpom's, Bendtners, Frimpongs etc looked good in Cup competitions but against Chelsea, City, Liverpool in the league?
Or we could sell Theo and tell Perez you're firmly the main backup and will get time every game as a sub at the very least.
This. Perez is still at the club. He would stay, if we offloaded Theo and Welbz or maybe even just one of them.
Offloading all of Perez, Ox, Welbeck and Theo without buying anyone new would be a disaster for sure, but no one actually suggested that, I think?
