I can see Ox doing well in that lineup and Mesut possibly getting an erection over the options of pacy runners.
TL:DR - Will Ox make it at Arsenal? Has all the attributes needed to be a top level footballer, so yes.
Major stumbling block is that (like so many AFC players) he seems very susceptible to injury. Having a stop/start season, especially at this crucial stage of his development could stop him from going that extra-mile that his ability probably deserves.
What will his eventual position be? Literally ANYWHERE in the attacking third of the pitch. Either side of a centreforward, or floating behind and surging into the box. Perhaps becoming a more 'traditional' central midfielder as he career develops.

Hope Ox's development is decided on the pitch rather than the treatment table, my fear is that in his eagerness to prove himself he will overextend and knacker himself
I forgot to put that in the article but to be fair it was getting long

That is kind of where i think Ox is strongest. That's not an indication of a formation in which he should play, merely a positional indication.
Don't think he's quite an out and out winger or central midfielder, more a pocket occupier.
Ox should be a little bit to the left and behind of the RF in my thingy above
Ox injury permitting is just an unbelievable talent.
I have no doubt he'll have a successful career at Arsenal, the more options we have, the less we'll rely on him and having Ox in the squad just makes us stronger.
I have so much confidence in him, that i never ever worry about The Ox.
To think he's only 20
Is 'pocket occupier' in the Urban Dictionary? If not, it needs to be.

I believe it is 'tl;dr' - being one of the many rejoinders people on the internet use to tell each other that the writer's capacity for words exceeds the reader’s capacity for attention. Another, of course, is the terse “cool story bro” in response to someone’s meaningless tangent.
I'd heard things about TRC's command of the english language

Shame on you Moist.

Oxlade Chamberlain is a phenomenally talented player, and will be a key player for both club and country for years to come. In some games this year i'd love to see a front 3 of Ox - Walcott - Sanchez, all interchanging. Each one has blistering pace, but also they all bring a mix of other talents to the attack. Walcott's finishing is sublime, and pace is electric. Sanchez is a top dribbler and great at going at and past his man, and the Ox can help keep possession from the flank, and has a rocket of a shot from distance.
As one of the posters above said, Ozil playing behind these three would be breath taking, with our German meastro spolit for options ahead of him.
Also, a front three with that much pace will scare any defence; i'd expect to see more teams forced deeper and fair few more free kicks and penalties for us next season
Ox is a fantastic player. Great dribbler, quick and strong. I hope he'll start the season.
He's an exciting player to watch,
Thing it with the quality in depth, Ox isn't under any real pressure. That's how it should be with young talents. You shouldn't rely on them all the time. Compared to Wilshere I think Ox has time. Wilshere is the one who needs to really set his mark this season because at 22 he really should be starting to be a world beater with his talents.
Ox with his pace will be a great option of the bench. We saw last season that his passing is pretty crap so unless he performs 7/10 every match at least, he should for now be used as a secondary option.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Excellent against a team playing a high line, with full backs who push on. Not so good against a team who'd drop off, defend the box and have 2 holding midfielders 10 yards in front of them. Pace is useless with no space to use it.
Nice to have options for different set ups though. Pace up top was soemthing we sorely lacked last year and teams were able to press us right up the pitch.
