It's hard to argue against his best position being RWB at the moment, but I'm sure the penny will drop and he'll be a much better winger.

You think he'd do that? I'd be surprised, he seems happy here.Before thinking about which position suits him best for next season, I'm worried that he won't be in an Arsenal shirt by that time.
Could be another case of Arsenal persisting with an injury prone player, only for him to leave us as soon as he's put a decent run of games on the pitch.
Pablo/Dean is saying he's signed a new deal. So take that how you will.
Ox, like most British midfielders, wants to be Steven Gerrard (he even says this after the final on BT Sport). This is the biggest problem with a lot of them, including some midfielders at our club (I'm looking at you Jack and Aaron). You can't be Steven Gerrard. He's Gerrard.
Be you, and play your game and evolve it. Ox needs to see his versatility as a weapon, not as a liability in his quest to be Steven Gerrard. He has affected the game so easily at wing-back as it offers him a chance to use his main strengths - his dribbling from deep and his crossing. He doesn't even have to think too hard about it, it complements his natural game a great deal. Perhaps the defending would still need work but it doesn't stifle his instincts. He can further refine his game to work for CM, but only if he maximizes the strengths he already has.
He hasn't got it in him to become anything more than a wide player in my opinion, you could say he's much more free and expressive in the wing back role because it's actually more of a restrictive role than CM. Might sound more harsh than I want to convey, but I think he's a wide player through and through.In two minds whether Ox will make it as a midfielder. On the one hand he has all the tools includind the ability to break the lines. However whilst he has done a job there he has never shown a natural flair for that position . It may come later years but Ramsey is well ahead of him imo. Hes much more free and expressive in that wing back role.
