its too early ™ to be nitpicking his movement. he brings enough to the table as it is. it took guys like ronaldo and nani a few seasons before they became outstanding off the ball. it goes against their instinct as dribblers, but it can be learnt in time and with the right players in supoort

We also don't have anyone capable of feeding those off the ball runs except jack

Anyone reckon he's a central midfielder at heart? That's where his dad says is his best position.

I'm not sure Tim, but I don't think that's where he'll end up for Arsenal, so I hope it doesn't become a thing, like Walcott playing central.

i like him on the wings. he's fearless and isn't afraid to take on players. his timing, final ball and anticipation will only get better. i think he could be devastating out there.

He'd be a menace behind rvp

Gazza M

hed be great in a messi-style false 9 role.

Pepe LeFrits

He'd be Kaka-esque off Robin ;D

IBL

He is easily our most explosive attacking player since Henry, he could be massive for us if he continues to develop at this rate

Ray

For such a big guy his control is great.

Klaus

He's 5 ft 11.

Ray

I meant big as in stocky

I am Arsenal Till I Die

Best thing about his control is that he does it equally well at top speed. He directs the ball instead of being directed by the ball unlike Theo.

Rex

On a slippery slope if we are using Theo as the benchmark here.

I am Arsenal Till I Die

Not setting him a benchmark Rex.

Its something not a lot of footballers in the country are capable of doing. Let alone Theo. And Ox is only going to get better.

BrianSwan

He is miles better than Walcott already

wow. didn't realise he was that tall. his stocky build made me think he was 5'7".

Ricky1985

He's not 5'11. He's about 5'8" or 5'9".

lorddulaarsenal

Yep Ricky has it

Sirius

I'd say he's more like 1.77 m.
