Rumoured Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain

[Special Juan 27,103]

I reckon we might just get him, sounds like we are really pushing Arsenal for him.

Have we actually put in a bid yet for the Ox?

Wenger has just spoken to the media and when asked about us and Ox he said "I want to keep my best players, I hope he commits"

On a bid Wenger said "The best solution is for us to focus on Sunday's game"

Closer it gets to deadline day the more I'm hoping we can pull this off. The Arsenal fans seem very polarized on him. Some think he should be kept and offered whatever salary it takes because he's great, others are saying the club should take the rumored £35m and they'd drive him to Cobham themselves.

He's the Arsenal version of Willian it seems. 😆 Some fans think he's average, others very good.

This is certainly not the language he used regarding the Alexis situation. First thing that actually gives me hope this thing might go through.

[Dimitr 488]

If we get him 

will be a major signing . Very useful.

[Special Juan 27,103]

So adaptable makes the signing exciting if it happens. He is more than comfortable playing RWB and RW.

Funny we are looking into these stupid hints again from some press conference. 

 

Remember how we tried to "read into" Lukaku's interview and were convinced he is not going to Manchester United? Will you lot ever learn?

I'd like to know which fans actually think that Willian is a 'very good' player.

I do! Not top class like Hazard but still a very good player. Just like Pedro.

I feel like the longer we wait the less chance we have. Would probably be wise to give them time to get a replacement in.

I do. It's important to note that Pedro/Willian got 17 goals in league last season together.

That's why we are giving you 30m for a player on his last year of a contract.

I think the opposite, controversial transfers/saga's like this often drag out till the very end (Cole, Torres, Modric).

Hopefully you're right. Just think Wenger will look like an absolute clown (more so than he already does) if he sells us a player he highly rates and who he'll have started in all of their games so far on the deadline to a direct, hated rival with no one in to replace him. They haven't really been linked with a player like Ox from what I've seen so clearly he's in Wenger's plans this season.

Think the only way this happens is if we put in a huge offer and Ox really pushes for the move. Even then Wenger has held very firm on Sanchez this whole summer. But surely they can't risk all 3 of Sanchez, Özil, and Ox all leaving on free's next summer? They have a poor season and you can definitely see them leaving for greener pastures. Better to get £35m from us for Ox now than risk that, surely.

[ChelseaFanUK 1,014]

Wenger didn't seem very convincing that Ox would stay today

 

I hope he stays bla bla then this
