Think the idea has always been to end up with two of Ox, Lemar and Coutinho.

Hope no one gets injured and that Couts behaves...

On TIA, a report from a Saints fan who seems to have insider info, that Saints are willing to let VVD stew in the reserves rather than let him go.

Yep...Kinda like us with Couts...Fair enough.

Hmmmm…..now it sounds like we’re trying to spend the Coutinho money. VVV, Lemar, Ox AND Mahrez. With Coutinho going for close to £150mil.

Looks like Ox deal is sealed. I hope he is not the only player we get.

Oxlade-Chamberlain's agent has apparently tweeted that a fee has been agreed between the 2 clubs. He added YNWA at the end of his tweet as well.

Welcome to your boyhood club Alex.

Not impressed with this piece of business but will be delighted to be proven wrong. He's free next year... whatever we've paid for him now.

We won't always get what we want so Mo Salah, AOC, Robertson, Solanke will do for now, and throw in Keita in 12 months time. Would hoped we could strengthen our defense or at least bring back Sakho to cover for Lovren & Matip...but it is what it is. I trust Klopp to work his magic

35M is a lot for a player who has missed a shyte load of games for Arsenal thru injury...

by **Doeboy** » Wed Aug 30, 2017 6:05 pm

We are paying the british player premium. Ox in the last year of his contract, not the greatest of injury records, struggles to get into the Arsenal team. Can't say i'm that happy with the move but if Klopp see's something in him, then fine with it

by **redshade** » Wed Aug 30, 2017 6:08 pm

I think he will do well here and keep Mane,Salah on their toes. However i really would have hoped we got Van Dijk.

£35m is buttons, Signurdsson cost Everton more than that and Kyle Walker went for £50m. Don't forget prices have gone through the roof this summer.
Chamberlain is a good solid signing imo. We desperately needed back up for Sadio and Mo and we have got it.

I can agree with this...
One year on his contract seems a little heavy - but short to midterm seems good business and a good playing option...
More importantly, the lad WANTS to play for US so he'll put in a shift otherwise Klopps foot will disappear up where the sun don't shine.

I don't get the Ox signing at all.. I mean he said he wanted to join us so he could play more in his preferred position of Center midfield. I think he was terrible for Arsenal when he played CM for them.. If I remember he stunk the place out against Bayern playing CM.

I don't mind him as a squad player then replacing with Salah or Mane for the last 15 minutes. He's a winger nothing more nothing less.
