aaron Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/everton-manchester-city-both-keen-9864671 surprised that is still only 23! I'd take him though, very under used at Arsenal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 Not a fan. Flatters to deceive and is vastly over-rated based on what he actually produces. Matt, MikeO and rubecula 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c1982 Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 I really like him. Don't think he's given enough game time at Arsenal and would flourish somewhere like at us. Seems a really good character too - always comes across really well in interviews etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shukes Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 Wow ld love him. Friend is an Arsenal fan so I end up watching them a bit, and whenever he plays he seems to create chances. Hard to understand why he used so little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plaidharper Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 Everytime I go to type anything, all I can think about is how he lost the ball right in front of the keeper in that Bayern game, haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibdane Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 I would be happy with him. He hasn't had a good stretch of games and it's always going to be hard in an Arsenal side. Can't believe he's still only 23! Has plenty of years before he hits his prime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 I've not really rated him so far but there's a lot of good points being made and maybe he just doesn't suit Arsenals style, but might flourish under Koeman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete0 Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 He's looked class when used behind the striker, but is hopeless on the wing. Would be good competition for Barkley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

London Blue Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 He's grown up allot this season, his passing and movement have come on leaps and bounds, and he has always had the ability to beat a man. My only worry is that he has been playing in the middle and we are well stocked there. Would prefer Demara Grey from Leicester anyway. markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddock Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 I'd take him but would be amazed if he came here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rusty747 Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 Its all about the price and would he be prepared to come and fight for a place. We are so well stocked in midfield now that he wouldn't really be guaranteed any more playing time with us than he currently is at Arsenal. That said, if the price was right I would love to have him available as an option for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest rusty747 Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 But I think Ox prefers to play down the middle. I know he has been used out wide with Arsenal but I think he will want to move to a new team as an ACM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c1982 Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 I think versatility will be the key with 'wing' targets. We don't seem to be using out and out wingers regularly hence Geri being let go and Lennon getting very little game time. Mirallas is a little more versatile and has got more game time as a result. Ox can play further up or further back centrally as well as on each wing so for me would fit the bill of the kind we're looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, so it all comes down to the price and the player's willingness to join us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rusty747 Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 (edited) If we are going to play 3 at the back regularly then it's not an issue. The wing backs provide the width and we we would have Barkley and Ox just in behind Romelu in a 3-4-3. Maybe, but that really makes competition for the midfield four tight and potentially squeezes out Lookman, Mirallas, DCL and leaves McCarthy, Barry, Schneiderlin, Gana, and Davies competing for 2 positions if the width is to come from Baines and Coleman.
