So The Ox has turned down Chelsea because they can't guarantee him a midfield position. Now he might go to Liverpool on a free. He's going to struggle getting the position he desires at a top club as they all have midfielders who are more disciplined and technically gifted than he is. a lot like Walcott I don't think he knows his best position.

He's an effective squad players as he's ok in variety of position but not a specialist in any. If he doesn't sign a new contract he has to be dropped by Arsenal to prepare for a future without him. Its leading up to the world cup and he may of shot himself in the foot. I say sell him or drop him. Its a shame as he's been injured consistently since he arrived.

This could of been the season he established himself as a first team regular and then moved onto bigger things. Oh well bon voyage! At least we won't have another expensive benchwarmer like Walcott.

He will go to Liverpool and if he stays fit, will play where ever klopp puts him. He will bring the best out of him but will he stay fit.

We probably havee the weakest centre mid out of all the top 6, and Ox can't get a starting position.

He's going to go Liverpool?

Good luck getting in front of Courtinho, Can and Henderson.

Dagenham I personally didn't want ox with us. I don't rate him nor think it's a wise career move for him because he will be a utility player for us. Play where and when needed by klopp.
He's never taking can (who is growing into a magnificent midfielder) or Hendersons positions. Nor wijnaldim when we play 3. Plus we've keita coming next season. So his central midfield dream is never happening with us. Maybe in carling cup / players injured he may get the chance.
But overall it's a strange one. For us, Massively overpriced for a squad player . he'll be a decent backup in various positions.
