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. Part of that, of course, will be because he has come on as a sub and replaced any of their midfielders, hence played pretty much across the entire pitch. Not a bad thing at all. I did read an article claiming that his long term desire is to play in the centre. He's also turned down bigger money at Arsenal as he obviously doesn't see his career progressing there. Given his options with a top 4 side seem limited, you'd imagine his better option to be an almost guaranteed starter would be a step down a level (mid table to Europa League spot) or abroad. |

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. That thought came rushing in to my head as soon as I saw this rumour. It's fine looking good in a team like Arsenal who dominate possession against all but the very best opponents but playing for Stoke City you have to make your own openings, I could just imagine him being completely anonymous/invisible in one of our typical away games. Arnie had the power, character and skill to take it to the opposition on his own at times, Ricardo Fuller could do the same, but I think Oxlade-Chambelain would look lost. I suggest we avoid this one if it doesn't avoid us first as it probably will. |

No just no. One of the most over hyped English players imo. Can run fast. Like Wright Phillips and Tom Ince fathers were good, sons are shite.

Are there ANY players out there, whose positions are in line with our needs. upon whom everyone (even a majority!) of the posters on here, could agree, both in terms of ability and price? We can then send the list (if there is one) to Hughesy and tell him that any of those on the list will cause least meltdown on this forum. Currently, of the over 60 players mentioned, opinions are divided 50/50 as 'he's shite/wank' and 'cracking signing' so we've no more idea of the right deal than the next man. |

But Oxlade-Chamberlain is no Marko Arnautovic I'll tell you that for free! |

Chamberlain is a far better footballer than he's given credit for. I just think in an Arsenal side with lots of technically gifted plyers he gets outshone. Trust me, chuck him into our 11 and he'd be the main man along with Shaqiri.

Sobhi will end up being 10x the player Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is. Wait and see. Hes nothing like Walcott. Walcott is a 1 in 4 gpg forward who had played wide too often like how diouf has. He has outrageous acceleration and like most fast players his mind cant keep up with his body. The ox is no where near as prolific, nor will he ever be, he's a centre midfielder who has a great engine, makes decent choices but gets played in too many positions to be a great player in one. I think we aren't really interested and are looking at hoping this may make man city release delph quicker, but I don't think it'll work. |
