    I'd rather not compare him to Messi.....but i understand your logic. As players go, he's quite close to Hazard. If OXO continues his development then he'll be up at that standard in a season or 2.

    Having Henry in the dressing room must be helping OXO and Walcott. It's a shame that Gervinho and Miyaichi do not have the opportunity to learn from the master....

    It's too late, your man let the cat out the bag. Arsene's taking the lorry over as we speak to pick up the rest of your players...... :p

    Oxo and Theo are actually VERY different kinds of players.

    The simularity is that they both have that explosive pace.(and both come from the Southampton youth academy)

    However I see Theo as more of a striker, while Oxo or more like a Iniesta/Mata type creative forward.

    It's nice to see that you guys rate him so highly.
    Hopefully we will keep the next Bale's,Walcott's and Oxo's in the future.

    You know what, i have a lot of sympathy for you guys. You do everything the right way, have a great youth academy but don't have the opportunity to use any of the players. One day we will see Southampton flourish in the Premier league with all the new Bale's, Walcott's and OXO's in their squad....

    Oxo is massively over rated. People are talking him up saying he should go to.the Euro's, he's a great player etc.
    He has made a great start but he had only played a handful of games...people need to let him learn his trade rather than build him up so he can be slaughtered in a yr or so time.
    Andy Carroll was outstanding from Aug -Dec 2010...but has been sussed out and 35m looks lile a bad joke (maybe he'll come good but he'll never look worth 35m).
    Oxo needs to play well for at least a year being he's being biggef up after 3 prem matches.
    He's a good exciting young prospect who aint played no where near enough gamed to be cobsidered great.
    This aint a dig ... would love him to be at spurs.
