If you look at the quality of teams being linked to the Ox (Liverpool Chelsea City) if it's true and these 3 champions league sides all want him surely it says he should be playing in our team on a regular basis.
Can they all be wrong and us right not to think him worthy of a starting place?
Personally I'd give him Santi job for the first 9 games of the premier league season guaranteed if fit if he signed a 1 year extension.
The lads never had an extended run in our team especially in his preferred CMF role where he has done well on the few occasions his had a chance there.
What have we got to lose?

I don't see him a starter in any of the mentioned teams mate, maybe Chelsea in the RWB instead of moses but not starter at city nor liverpool. He is too injured and inconsistent to my liking
For santi's role I would rather have some one with Santi's caliber, some one very technical good on the ball and a good dribbler.
But I would keep him over theo for sure.

I see what your saying about him not being a regular in the city Chelsea teams but if his options are a bit part player with Arsenal or a bit part player with a decent chance of a premier league winners medal with one of those two surely it's a no brainer to leave?
If we give him a real chance before we let him go we stand less chance of regretting it latter imo.
Personally I think he's much better in CMF than you might think Moe mate.

I don't see all the fuss around him he's just the same as Walcott not good enough.

62 mate, I see your point and you might be right, if he is a glory hunter fear enough to him on choosing a team which is more likely to win the premier league than us but that will show you what kind of ambition he has for himself as a player being a part player.
Now Imo I had enough on trying players here and there and we to stand a chance in competing I say get the right player for the right position possible.
However maybe that's just me as I don't see him that much technically gifted and fill the santi's shoes. Again that's just my opinion mate.

I think ox will end as jack of all midfield trades master of none with us and will end up just slotting in here and there when he can. He graves that central midfield position but Wenger I don't think will give him that position on any regular consistency. Wenger has the love for Xhaka and Rasmey atm in the central positions and I don't really see that changing anytime soon unless some big CM signing is made. RWB would be his best chance at a starting spot but will he be consistent enough to oust Bellerin I have my doubts. My felling is especially if this system is going to be the way forward that any offer fro him that approaches
20-25Mill mark we take it.

But Moe if his options are bit part with us or them his only choice is but part with a premier league medal or bit part without one? Not much of temptation to stay is it :-)
Now if we offered him a real guaranteed run in CMF then he would have a decision to make.

I think your right regards Arsene's veiw Ryan so it's best for everyone Ox moves on imo, I like the lad and if he can't do well for us I hope he has a great career elsewhere.
