Rumoured Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain

[drog.ba 239]

You think we'd sound out from the player + agent whether he wanted the move/role first before agreeing a deal with Arsenal. In the meantime we've run the clock down on the window and have no other wing back targets.

Really negligent from the board

They didn't hijack us...we had first dibs on the whole thing. Ox rejected us simply because we want him to play in the wing, simple as. Then he (and Arsenal) turned to Liverpool who are probably going to play him in central midfield.

Doesn't matter, it will be remembered as hijacking. And it was, he was probably going to sign for us until Pool came calling, whatever technical details changed his mind doesn't matter.

The real question is why the fuck were we in for Ox for so long and so late to play our RWB when he doesnt even want to play that position.

Such a rubbish decision by the board, unbelievable.

I'm not surprised to be honest, but I'm also not that mad he rejected us. He would have been a great addition, but if the reports are correct and he doesn't want to play as a WB then I don't really want him here. I certainly don't see him playing in central midfield or anywhere else despite his versatility unless the circumstances call for that.

We need wingbacks not wingers

 Forget the defense 

if I was at Chelsea board I would have signed lemar instead of WB

Not sure why we are not just allowing Tomori to rotate with Moses. Yes he's young, but give him a shot. Sometimes throwing them in at the deep end is the best solution. I would love to see Juan Castillo get a squad place for LWB in the near future, he looks really talented at 17 y/o. I don't believe these youngsters are not capable.

He turned down a new contract at Arsenal a few days ago so how is that a long time ?. It's only become apparent overnight that he didn't want to play wing back so again how can you blame the board ?. If someone doesn't want to join Chelsea that's their choice nothing that the board can do about it.

Even carragher thinks he will struggle to get into Liverpool midfield 

[Blusan Alamb 295]

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will be paid about £125,000 a week by Liverpool. Turned down new Arsenal contract worth up to £180,000 a week

 

[Blusan Alamb 295]

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain was a Liverpool fan when he was a kid. Liverpool see him as long-term replacement for James Milner.

We have been absolutely the joke of the town this transfer season. Hands down jokers.

More than players we need new board members because the current lot is an embarrassment to the club.

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

Good for him then. I will not be surprised if we don't sign anyone else now.

Really? Try being an Arsenal fan; we could have done more but we're far from being a joke.

It has been dragging whole summer that he wants to leave. Also that he prefers to play midfield. Clear as day, there were concerns here two months ago that he might refuse to join us because he wants to be midfielder and not RWB. 

If Talkchelsea had sense of whats going on, I dont understand why chelsea board didnt check these things at least a month ago. We were interested in him long before he refused new contract. 

Yes we can do nothing when player doesnt want to join us, but we can do alot in how and when we handle transfers 

If we enquired about his situation and his demands earlier, it would give us enough time to find new target by now.

But now we are fucked, one day to go, it will be panic once again.

If you are going to compare us with Arsenal then I have no words. Arsenal are joke because of Ox and Sanchez which is happening right now but we have been joke right from the start of the transfer.

[YorkshireBlue 3,123]

He's fucking deluded if he thinks he going to be playing in that liverpool midfield he will end up out wide or a right back. Wenger may be a fucking clown, but if OX was any good in the CM position Wenger would of played him there properly.
