So. The Ox and Theo.

Preseason, some said they should go. Many said they had potential but never have (never will? ) reached it.

Both seem to be getting the nod ahead of iwobi - definitely whilst he's injured ;)

I'm confident if they regularly start, and get a run of games (more than say 6 to get them going) both will be consistent. So.

I'm predicting 25 goals and 15 assists between them.

Anyone else want to give their thoughts now, BEFORE they dazzle? ;)

For me Theo at 27 and still has a huge? And wouldn't still be at utd city Chelsea Spurs Everton or West Ham after 10 seasons of unconvincing form.
Ox is 5 years younger as has done well in the past and nly last season has he looked extremely poor.
To me Ox might yet go on to be a top performer but it's difficult to see why things would after all these years suddenly click for Theo.

Yes I'd like to say get a winger in instead :)

i think I'd rather have Ox playing than Theo.
For me, Ox can produce more on his day, than Theo.
A run in the team could see him hit form.

That said, i honestly wouldn't be shocked if we panic, go balls to the wall for James Rodriguez and play him on the left or the right and play Alexis on the other side.

Theo has been here too long and shown nothing no room for sentiment but that's Arsenes middle name.

The question is a bit irrelevant Jim because neither of them will stay fit.

Theo fro me just has not got at the highest level. He is 27 now and should be in his prime he has not got the attributes to be a top class CF he wants to be. As a wide attacker/ winger he has his good moments but lacks a trick to be top winger either for me. Ox difficult to see if he will ultimately make it with us or not. His best position is CAM but with Ozil holding that position will he get enough games in-between injuries to get any sort of consistent form going. He has talent and still quite young so still has time.

Theo has the talent but he just doesn't have the mentality to make it to the top of the game, he's not alone there Jack Rodwell is another of many very talented young players who start well but just don't have the whole package needed.

The Ox above Theo any day. He's more direct, turns quicker and still has decent pace!
