I have a feeling he might have been waiting to see if Drinkwater gets signed. If not Ox would've had some opportunities to play CM and maybe wouldn't have minded so much about playing RWB too, but now that it's looking almost certain that Drinkwater will join he might just have realized his only opportunities to play at Chelsea will come as RWB so he chickened out.

And we're after Barkley too.

Turns down 180k a week and is dictating where he wants to play.....Ladies and gents.....Oxlade Chamberlain.

Assuming this story is genuine and not just a cover for his real motives then, firstly, if he did turn down £9m a year because he wants to move, shouldn't we respect him for it? Secondly, what is wrong with preferring to play in one position rather than another?

I don't understand your criticisms in this post at all.

Chamberlain wants to play in the midfield? LMAO would rather resign Oscar then play him in the midfield.

Both Joe Cole & Daniel Sturridge chose Liverpool over Chelsea to pick their own position & win things. Number of trophies they won there: 0. (Dan Leven on Twitter)

Just bracing myself now for whichever completely mediocre player we panic buy tomorrow instead. 😔

I don't think it's a question of making demands. If he wants to play as a cm, and a club is offering him that opportunity, then why not take it? Perfectly reasonable behaviour and he deserves respect for it.

Of course there is another potential take on this whole posistional preference thing. Perhaps it's just his way of sparing our blushes. Perhaps he just doesn't fancy us or the way he's seen us play.

Sure, I am not criticising his choice,  I am just saying that he's not on a level so high that he can afford making such demands from the Champions of England and expect them to be accepted.

I mean he can do that, but we would be stupid to accept. I'd rather have a youngster play than make such a compromise for Oxlade Chamberlain, a guy who proved almost nothing so far.

Good luck to him and good luck to us finding a RWB. We shouldn't have let this go so far.

Interesting if he really want to play as cm. Pool play with 3 mid but only hendo can play as holder. So Lallana, wijnaldum, can for 3 positions and keita for next season. Not sure where ox fit in this scenario. At front they have mfs + original N Sturridge. 5 player for 3 positions.

Sorry to be boring about this but Azpi is not a wing back. He lacks the tools and is just not very good at it.

No he isn't but at least if we need someone to fill in, we can use him there. That was my point.

Ah England, I can't shed light on that I don't watch them but I assume it would be "yes sir no sir three bags full sir" Full of yes men at England, the players are no different.

Got to give this lad a break has a difficult choice to make... RWB for a team always in the hunt for trophies come March-April or CM and league winner in September already with Liverpool and also "the moral winner" of the league come May.

[Mufassir08 2,400]

Liverpool now have a bid rejected for him in the region of 30m.
