Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain

[Numero Veinticinco]

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

I've seen him play for half a decade, I know what he brings. I'm referring to his contract situation and stand by it. It's money we needn't have spent had we been patient.

dont get this signing does this mean can is off in the summer havent we already got gini in the invisible midfielder role i hope im wrong

[Pureblood]

They didn't try to convince him to stay; Wenger, the architect of the 4-0 loss, tried to convince him to.

 

£180k per week says they did, but I take your point.  I'm not arsed if they wanted him or not.  We did and we got him, that would normally be good news.

[Strontium]

No, you said about questioning quality managers and thinking people know more than them. Ah, whatever.

Yes, managers, plural. It's possible for one great coach to err in judgement from time to time, but three (Klopp, Conte and Wenger) at once? Not so much.

[Pureblood]

Fair enough, I admire your conviction. 

 

Personally I'm just happy we're doing some business at long last.

They fans didn't offer him £180k per week, mate. They couldn't give a shit about the guy and they're laughing at us over it. I guess we can just hope for the best, and as usual hope the ones being positive about the deal are in the right.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

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.

 

He certainly showed what he is capable of when they first played him, injuries and bad form since have stalled his career. No doubting Klopp will get the best out of him, could turn out to be a shrewd signing in the current market, Johnny Evans will probably go for around 30 million, he's 29 and fucking shite. 35/40 mill (which ever it is) is a wee bit too much, but the transfer market is as mad as the World is heading atm. 

[Strontium]

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

When did we give two turds what that bunch of whoppers think?

 

They'll be back to trying to force out the most successful manager in their history tomorrow.

[Curly]

He will be quality for klopp and his system.

[Pureblood]

Can nailed on to leave I reckon.  Klopp seems to want quick midgets in his forwards and midfielders, Can doesn't fit the prototype. 

[Numero Veinticinco]

To top it all, the money is going towards buying Seri for Arsenal. Good times.

I wasn't referring to their fans, I meant the club as a whole/manager.  You know, people who make decisions.  

 

I'm laughing at them. 4-0.  Ta for the Ox.

[Trumo]

One for the homegrown quota methinks, what with the likelihood that Milner, Sturridge and Flanagan will all be gone by this time next year. Even though he would be on a free next summer, I bet his contract would be twice as expensive as whatever we're offering now, as is usually the case with Bosman signings.

 

Please don't be shit!

Can thinks his rakish beard and well-groomed hair will be better appreciated in Turin.

[karl1987]

We could probably go back to when we signed Lallana and the thread would look similar to this.  Il wait adn see how he does under Klopp in an LFC shirt now.  He's got a clean slate.

Lot of money for a speech recognition API. 

[El Rojo]

Hope he misses an open goal in May that costs us the title just so we're all proven right on here.

Good point mate.

I love him but he is a bit slow/good looking.

[Oh Buoy]

Laughing at the 40m. 

 

All now wanting Seri. 

 

Fucking hell, perfect ownership for the perfect fans over there. 

[Jockey]

All 3 front positions covered, plus CM. I'm happy, and a statement as much as anything else. Lemar potentially as well.

[Numero Veinticinco]

Well, you know what Apple are like.

[J-V]

£40 fucking million. Can't wait until we lose Can for fuck all.
