Why go for a player for a position he doesn't want to play in?! Why expect him to not go somewhere else...

Deal done.

Unbelievable why we  were for him if he wants cm role not rwb. We lost so much time/.

Our Club is surely guilty if Oxlade's agent had made it clear from the beginning that he will play only as a midfielder. If he does not play as a midfielder at Pool, then they have used us to get the deal through.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
