Perfect for the RWB spot eh?

I stand corrected. 

Past two performances at RWB have been very good. Surprisingly dealt with Sane better than anybody has in recent months. 

Because even if City kept going to Sane to create, Arsenal kept going to AOC to create as well, and at the end of the day, he won the battle. Especially in that secons half. 

Doubt we're interested in him though. Let's see. 

Very good shout thou Skip.

I think he'd be a revelation there, quite easily. He has the potential to be a really superb player in our system at RWB, he'd be awesome. Doubt the club has that much imagination though.

Sky sources: Chelsea join Liverpool and Manchester City in race to sign Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain from Arsenal.

Good, solid player but I'm not sure he makes a whole lot,of sense for us. Not from his perspective, anyways. He'd have a similar situation here to the role he's got at Arsenal which is that he wouldn't be an automatic starter. That's the whole reason he wants out.

Much as I'd dislike seeing him there, Liverpool makes the most sense.

Much like Sandro yesterday, I'll believe it when we put an actual bid in.

At the moment, there's nothing concrete on signing players - apart from Caballero (who's a free agent), Bakayoko and Lukaku - and it feels like we're doing a Wenger. Leak stories to the press we're interested in Player X, Y, Z but not actually doing anything to sign them.

[Tautvix 1,321]

Typical overrated English young talent who never became a top player.

[Pizy 18,368]

I've long been curious how these outlets find out about clubs "joining the race" to sign such and such player. Is there a que around the back of the Emirates where Klopp and Pep were standing? Now Conte's back there, too? 

Like, how the hell could they possibly know? No club official would tell them secretly, surely?

Football agents...

So what, does an agent phone up Jim White and say "hey, Jim, Chelsea are now interested in Ox. Tell everyone."

[Special Juan 27,424]

I don't think he's even over rated, in fact under rated if anything. He would be a very goos signing and would add more pace with a physicality too. He could play RWB or RW and to a squad that needs more depth.

I wish I know the intricacies...Sky may have people keeping tabs on the transfers.

Never said that definitively, did I? But if we are, apart from the 3 aforementioned players, then we are sure doing very well in keeping things quiet very well.

. Have to say I think us being interested in the Ox is bull.(sorry couldn't resist).

[quickpassnmove 924]

Is he not in the final year of his contract? If he doesn't cost too much, I think it would be a good buy. Physically strong player, HG, versatile, good passing, can finish.

Honeslty wouldn't be surprised if that old, stubborn fool Wenger just kept him and let him go for free next summer than sell him to a direct rival. Same with Sanchez.

I actually think he is one of a few English players that is actually underrated  Very all-around player, could fill CM, RWB or RW position ...he is homegrown, wouldn't cost much and he could actually push for starting position at RWB  

I think he was very good playing in 343 formation for Arsenal and this deal would actually make sense. We can't spend 30-40M on every position we need (or we want) to strengthen. Ox could be a bargain for that right wing back position that could actually work really well and we can spend more money on other transfers
