Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain

[an tha]

James Pearce....yet again the bearer of bad news.

 

Done deal. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain joining #LFC from Arsenal. He will undergo a medical at St George's Park tonight. Fee around £35m

[Elite]

He can go in the summer

[Klopper60]

BBC says a deal is done for 40 mill. I trust Klopp's judgement and his ability to make him a better player so if we can now get VVD over the line it will be a decent window for us.

[Boss]

Now go and get Lemar as well.

[The Woolster]

I think he is a decent player who will be a good addition to the squad, but £35m when in the last year of his contract, with willing sellers, and the competition for his signing turned down, is mental, even in this market.

 

In this market we've got Salah for pretty much the same amount

[karl1987]

He's a Liverpool player now so he gets my full support.  Hope he proves everyone wrong.

[PestiRed]

Looks like I have a new hobby to pass the time, negging anyone who calls him The Ox

[Gym Beglin]

I don't mind signing him as long as he has zero impact on actual quality signings coming in.

 

If we find out we missed out on a striker or a forward or a CB because we signed this jabrone I'll be fucking nuclear.

[SammyAftershave]

People are actually having the temerity to ask why it doesn't make sense.

 

- He's made of biscuits

- He's scored 9 league goals in 6 seasons, nearly all of it as an attacker in probably the most offensively minded team in the league during that period.

- He'll cost £30 million plus to get him this window when he'll be free next year.

- His wages will be £100,000 plus a week.

- It's a lot of money we can put towards a demonstrably better player.

 

That's just the objective facts alone.

 

Don't forget this:

Everton turned down £25 million for Barkley whos in the exact same scenario and out for up to 3 months due to injury. 

 

Just ignore the fees, the whole Neymar deal has messed up everything.

[Tom araya]

I'm delighted they find that funny,see if they are still laughing when sanchez leaves too....twats.

Especially if he's always injured. As weak as an...

[Pureblood]

I'm going out on a limb here, but reckon he will be a good signing.

 

There's no reason why not, apart from his injury record.  

 

Tone Moanero is right - this is very reminiscent of the reception Mané received.  Hopefully the Ox will have a similar impact, in his own Ox-like way.  

 

And I'm definitely calling him the Ox. Bring on the negs.

[Numero Veinticinco]

The joke is on them - we've just thrashed them 4-0 and pinched a player off them they tried to persuade to stay. 

 

They can have a little think about that over the international break.

They didn't try to convince him to stay; Wenger, the architect of the 4-0 loss, tried to convince him to. But he's definitely got the attributes to be a good player, just as long as he changes from what he did the last 6 years regarding injuries. Which I doubt. It's never good doing a deal in which you have to dramatically improve the player's impact and end product, plus his fitness, for the deal to seem remotely worth it.

 

Real shame, this deal. Things were looking rosy yesterday, like we finally got what it was about. Then we go and Downing the situation.

 

Alright... that's enough miserable bitching from me.

[Russ Atmosphere]

Is he our record signing?

[Gym Beglin]

That's because it's a financially ridiculous deal. Is he really so important to us this season that we had to throw 35m quid down the drain rather than wait and get him for free?

No, he's an unnecessary project for Klopp. And he's pontentilaly in the way of development for Woodburn.

[1892-LFCWasBorn]

arsenal fans are in absolute stitches over us paying £40m for him.

 

I'm in absolute stitches that Arsenal are fucked.

 

Relegation battle ahead.

 

Clueless club and fans.

 

Saw a brilliant quote on Twitter saying when a manager loses the dressing room, you sack the manager, not get rid of the players.

Usher needs to give me the ability to neg this three times

35m "down the drain" is silly hyperbole and you know it?  Wait until he's kicked the round thing FFS.

[Pureblood]

Ox. The Ox, the Ox, the Ox. 

[Jockey]

That'll do me.

 

There is a player there.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Fuck Arsenal blud, fam.....cunts!

[Anubis]

Fuck it. Let us be positive about this news, and trust that Klopp can turn him into the player he threatened to be before Wenger got hold of him.

[BCM]

Complete waste of money in my opinion. Squad player... on a free next year... really hope klopp makes me eat my words.

[Arl arse]

I've always liked this lad, he's going to be boss.
