Arsenal fans will be the first to tell you Oxlade has made the wing back position his own after Wenger went to it late last year, its felt on their boards that they finally found an area he wasnt just ok at, but was actually very good at. Chelsea play the wing back system. They also desperately need depth, and despite his obvious lack of stepping up in regular midfield, Oxlade has played everywhere on the pitch more than once, apart from CB. Not only is he a player that could excel, like Victor Moses has, in that Chelsea system and under different management, he also gives Chelsea emergency cover in a lot of areas on the pitch, a one size fits all signing. And Chelsea need cover in a lot of areas.
Makes perfect sense. I guess what doesnt make sense is Wenger selling Gibbs and Oxlade Chamberlain and persisting with 3-5-2, while not playing his new guy last weekend.
Who does he intend to play in the wing back role when he sells everyone? Monreal is mega slow, if its him they will continue to get battered.
