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 28,100]

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.

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.

How do you know that we not doing anything to sign a player?

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).

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

Good option i think . 

 

 

[Sideshow Luiz 2,310]

I think it was nice of Arsenal to use him in a 2 man CM as well as a WB during the second half of the season.  I think he'd do well here and that it would be a good piece of business.  He's not outstanding, but can play a number of roles well.  With the current squad, I think he'd be first choice RWB.  Thanks Arsene.  

[Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067]

Yes!

But AOC has to show some backbone here, and drive the move himself. This is the 2nd time his agent has leaked to the press how disrespected AOC feels about Arsenal dragging their heels on his contract renewal. If he stays at Arsenal after all this, then wow, what a letdown. 

If Arsenal are willing to sell, before he goes for a free, then CFC gotta bring him in, and let Conte mould him into the RWB-role.

Pre-injuries Ox, I would take in a heartbeat. Current Ox, I'm not really sure. He used to be so explosive and direct. Deadly 1 on 1. Now he lost that bit of pace that made the difference. He's still very fast but not crazy fast. He improved in other aspects of his game though.

I don't know where he would play but he is not better than Hazard/Pedro/Willian and as a wingback, I think Moses who is homegrown is not far behind him.
