The Ox left Wembley on crutches.
I will take that under consideration.I could edit it for you brother for a small fee . Something like "think Ox is best utilised as a wing back in a 3-4-3 " let me know .
Arsenal are preparing to make Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain the latest member of their £100,000-per-week club.
Talks over a new five-year deal are set to get underway as the club look to keep hold of their talented England international.
Oxlade-Chamberlain has emerged as one of Arsène Wenger’s most important players in recent weeks - his brilliant display in Sunday’s euphoric FA Cup semi-final win over Manchester City underlining his growing status within the Gunners squad.
But there are major fears behind-the-scenes at Arsenal that they could be forced to sell Oxlade-Chamberlain this summer given his uncertain contractual situation.
The 23-year-old has just over 12 months to run on his existing deal meaning he can leave the Emirates Stadium on a free transfer at the end of next season.
And the Gunners are desperate to secure the long-term future of their midfielder and ready to offer him in-excess of £100,000-per-week to ensure he stays.
The new pay-deal would see Oxlade-Chamberlain more than double his current £50,000-per-week contract.
Arsenal have traditionally shown a reluctance to pay in-excess of £100,000-per-week to players with only a small clutch of their squad, including Alexis Sanchez, Mesut Özil and Theo Walcott, in that pay bracket.
But the willingness of the Gunners to go beyond that mark for Oxlade-Chamberlain’s underlines his growing importance to the club’s future.
Finances, though, will not be the only issue for Oxlade-Chamberlain, who has impressed in a new right-wing back role in recent weeks, when it comes to deciding his next move.
The Arsenal star has become a regular for Wenger in recent weeks and feels he is now at an age where he needs to be playing regular first-team football.
The forthcoming talks are likely to prove critical in persuading the Gunners star that his long-term future remains in north London.
Arsenal have left themselves in a risky position regarding his future after allowing the former Southampton man to run down his existing deal.
Indeed, they could be forced to sell Oxlade-Chamberlain this summer if they cannot agree fresh terms to ensure he doesn’t leave for nothing in 2018.
Liverpool have a serious interest in the former Southampton man, while both Manchester clubs are also plotting swoops.
All that means the ball is now firmly in Arsenal’s court, with the club knowing full well Oxlade-Chamberlain has top level suitors going into the summer transfer window.
Furthermore, Oxlade-Chamberlain is unlikely to want any uncertainty over his future going into next season and will be keen to bring a swift conclusion to the decision over his future.
Typical ArsenalI can't understand this wage offer.
He'd be in the top 5 of our biggest wages without being in the top 5 of our most important player.
Where's the logic?
Just because he's been pretty good during last game doesn't mean he deserves that raise.
Ox is currently at best a squad player. Who is injury prone & inconsistent as hell.

Same way they gave Walcott over 100k when he's a squad player at best.
Earning the same as Harry Kane. Let that sink in.
As you've stuck your neck out there do you mind if I ask who you think is our top 5 most important players? It was quite a confident statement so obviously you've put some thought in to it.
Anyone have a link to his two quality goals from preseason? Would love to see them again.
He's about to get a similar new contract:Alex Ox - 100k a week
Jesse Lingard - 100k a week
Dele Alli - 50k a week
Harry Kane - 100k a week
How the hell do Sp**s do it? Alli is probably the best young player in the world and he's 'only'on 50k whilst mediocre players like Ox are on 100k. What has Ox done to deserve that money?
Alli best young player in England sure, the world he doesn't even come close.

I'd say Koscielny Alexis Monreal Cazorla (even if he's been injured for the past 2 years) & maybe Giroud (as much as I don't rate him, he's been one of the very few who has been pretty consistent since we signed him).
Koscielny, Alexis and Cazorla I'll gove you. Giroud? Meh. We were doing far better in his absence. Monreal has sucked all season. He's played better as a wingback where his 1-on-1 defending is less of an issue.
