So if we reinvest the Arnie money on Oxlade Chamberlian. Surely that still leaves money in the kitty for our original targets like delph and BMI. I'd go all out for Ox, would be a massive lift to the squad to get him at Stoke

Rumoured to be on £65k a week and to have just turned down a new £100k a week contract.
We could easily pay him more than £65k a week but i'm not sure how close to £100k we would get?.. assuming of course he would come here.

Am I really? He blows hot and cold..... more often cold. In fact he's worse than Arnie for blowing cold. For every great game he has which has those fuck nuggets on MOTD jizzing themselves to an empty ball sack, he will have 3 or 4, maybe 5 games where he is completely anonymous.... but he's in an Arse shirt isn't he ? So y'know, let's just assume he's the bollocks. In a mid-table team, he would be expected to perform a lot more consistently than he currently does. At Arsenal, he's protected by the fact they're a regular top 6 club. At 23 as well, this idea that he's young? He's not anymore.... He's 23, 24 in about 3 weeks. He really needs to hit the ground running otherwise his career will stall as badly as Jack Wilshere's. By the way, speaking of that scummy little scrotum, he's close to a move to a random mid-table Turkish team, after being linked with a mid-table Italian team last week. Do I have a problem with us signing Ox? No. Do I have a problem with us spending 25 million on him? Yes. |

Chamberlain, Indi and a RB, that's all we "need" imo. If an opportunity to sign a striker and a midfielder comes along due to players leaving later in the window then that's fine.

I said last week that however good or bad you think whelan was his presence cast a shadow over new MF at the club. I think with him gone Hughes can set the MF up better. We may see a better Joe, Imbula and hopefully this lad should he sign. The first half of the transfer window seemed doom and gloom, looks like it will get a whole lot better soon |

I don't understand people saying Arsenal won't do business with us. They're far more likely to sell to us than they are to a direct rival that's for sure. Would you be so positive if Arsenal tried to tap up Butland?. |

As a like for like replacement of Arnie at £25m, I suppose that's acceptable in my view, but I can't see it as an improvement, other than 5 yrs younger and England international. I also can't see Southgate's view of him staying high. Ox will have to wait a bit to get Euro football; hopefully one season  If he does sign and add goals to his game, then that will create a hell of a lot of positives!! |

Positive change will come with positive signings though and I aren't convinced that spending 25 million on another prima donna will do that. |

I disagree that he's a primadonna but it doesn't help when he gets hyped up as a superstar because he is young English and played for a top 4 club. I have not seen much bad press about him over the years. I believe he just wants to play football Wenger should have built the team around him and Walcott years ago |

would certainly be the nearest to a 'rock the city' signing for sure
and we would be fieldling a full England international out field player, week in week out
(along with Jack)
whats not to like ?

I'd play him centre midfield alongside Zouma. We'd go from the slowest midfield in the league to the quickest. That would be sensational. |

I agree with his age, which is why it is time for him to move on to further his career. £25 million is a fair price, he'd bring a lot to to this team and he is English. |

Southgate put Butland straight back in the squad. He also called up Johnson didn't he? We don't just need a 15+ goals striker, we need players to create openings/chances and he fits the bill. |

Last season he played: Right Midfield 12 Left Midfield 8 Central Midfield 4 Defensive Midfield 1 Right Back 1 Left Wing 1 Also - interestingly (for geeks like me anyway) - he only finished 6 full 90 minutes... either subbed on, or subbed off in the majority of games. My interpretation of the number of different positions he has played is a positive indication of how much he wants to play first team football. I hope that he joins Stoke City FC. |

Lol. Clearly none of you watch Chamberlain on a regular basis. He's a slightly better Theo Walcott with very little end product. He can beat his man sometimes but also gets stopped plenty. While his deliveries are sometimes quality, his finishing is atrocious. He's simply not good enough.
Arnautovic is a better footballer.
Sobhi will end up being 10x the player Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is. Wait and see.
