However, some people seem to think he is a poor player or that his attitude is poor. I disagree with this wholeheartedly - He is actually one of the most talented players in the squad, but seems to be suffering from a severe lack of confidence. We have all seen what he can do at his best - let us not forget that a young, fearless Ox bossed the game in the middle of the park against, at the time, a very good AC Milan side. Now, I'm not for a second suggesting that talent alone is enough, because it isn't, but he does work hard too, and this alone makes him a better candidate for the starting line up against the teams where we concede more possession given that Walcott and Iwobi seem 'lost' when we don't have the ball. I think personally we should be giving him an extended run in the first team - an out of form Ox is having his best season in terms of goals and assists. Having said this, I reckon he may be better off leaving in order to regain his confidence and fulfil some of that potential.
loool he is speed merchant who technical ability looks better for people who has watched walcott 10 years. He has no vision, very poor football intelligence and is mentally very weak. I can understand people who saw him at 17 and thought he could be something....hell I was one of them. But 3 years later when I saw no improvement. I fell for another attribute player. He is 23 and last 6 years we have talked about what? POTENTIAL
Just like walcott, start of the season after few good games, people were saying Theo has finally reached the next level lool. ox is just a midtable player. If we had Zhana at Arsenal and he played 150+ games....you telling me he would have 10 good games and score 12-14 goals in those matches?
