Guess Klopp would play him as CM, the position where he does better. Wenger just fucking uses him on the wings everytime, unless all our CMs are injured.
You canāt, because the rule is to have 8 homegrowns into the 25-men list for the Premier League.
This season Arsenal registered Welbeck, Walcott, Oxlade, Ramsey, Jenkinson, Martinez, Gibbs and Coquelin for the A list and BellerƬn and Iwobi for the B list (U21 players).
Next season BellerƬn will be into the A list because isnāt an U21 now.
A good few years before the real transfer fee inflation kicked in too lol
Not to mention the cloning technology just isnāt there yet.

Is there anything to seriously suggest itās Liverpool? Aside from rumours in the past making us assume it must be them?
I reckon itās West Ham tbh
Liverpool itk has said they have signed him.
Just got to wait and see if heās correct.

While Iām not Oxā biggest fan and Iād be happy if he left, I reckon the club would not be stupid enough to sell him to Liverpool, but at least made clear that he joined someone else.
Donāt really get the problem with him joining Liverpool.
For me he doesnāt get into the attack ahead of Firmino, Mane, Coutinho, Lallana and he doesnāt get into the midfield ahead of Henderson, Can, Milner. And even if he can get in it, I doubt very much that he improves it without a lot of personal development (which could happen).
Iād rather he went there for 30m than somewhere else for 20m.
Just because heās put together 5 decent games as a midfielder this season doesnāt mean heās suddenly a top midfielder. Heās been pretty mediocre for at least two years now.
If heās the easiest one to sell then sell him. The only way weāre going to get the required amount of new blood in is if players leave. Iād happily see Ox and Ramsey force their way out this summer even if other players have to stay.

Milner isnāt a midfielder for them, isnāt he? He can be great for them in that power football of Klopp I feel. They are also a bit thin. He can play winger and box2box for them. I think he can do a lot for them if he gets his shit together.
Scousers donāt rate him as a source, say heās been wrong about nearly everything
The Ox has had 6 seasons at Arsenal now and just hasnāt become the player weād hoped, probably best for him and us he moves on if we get a decent fee. Iād rather him stay over Theo and Ramsey though.

Iām in 2 minds on Chamberlain. In the past we can always say his pace and dribbling was elite and his decision making and final ball were piss poor. However this season heās averaging in the CL/PL a goal or assist every 182 minutes, which includes 4 games heās played in the middle. Heās also looked to add dynamism when he played in the middle for us. Heās also only 23
The other factor is if he goes and either Ozil or Alexis goes, it mean we need 2 extra attacking players and itās highly unlikely we get 2 better than Ox. If Ozil leaves Chamberlain as the number 10 is something that might work.
This sounds to me like you are over rating Oxlade Chamberlain, because I donāt think it would be that difficult to find players better than him.
Not sure Iād go as far as to describe anything he does as being āeliteā either, but maybe Iām just being pedantic with your wording.

Iāve always rated Chamberlain as an impact player, but he never seems to have the concentration needed over 90 mins.
Personally Iād keep him, but as he wants to go just let him go.

Thereās not that many players that go on runs and skin players like Ox. Granted his decision making is often dreadful but if he ever sorted that out weād have a serious player on our hands. There are signs that this year heās improving his decision making and end product. He also seems more at home in the centre and adds dynamism in midfield.
If we got 35m it sounds like good business for the current player. But a 23yo might just push on to be a very good player in which case Iām unsure if itās good business.
And then you have to talk about other players we should probably be scrapping. Wilshere is the new Diaby and Ramsey is a squad player level and thinks heās better than he is. Jenkinson needs to be moved on. Thereās talk of Perez leaving. We do need a big shake up though and different players coming in.
Best wing back in the league
