Alex Oxlade Chamberlain aka "The Ox"

[Mark79]

Gerrard played CM, RM and No.10 at various stages. Think we'll see similar from Ox, though he'll rotate positions much more rather than staying in each one for a couple of seasons at a time like Stevie did.

Didn't realise he was so natural in front of the camera. Much better than the monotone drone we so ofter hear.

I can see tens of people rushing out to buy his shirt.

I agree with that, the bit that I don't get is the central midfield role, I could see him playing the attacking midfield like Coutinho or Lallana have played but there is alot of competition in there, the obvious role for me seems to be rotating him with one of Salah and Mane, two from those three would be good and would keep everyone fit and fresh.

Yeah, its not dissimilar to Milner when he signed (though Rodgers actually did go with that for a while). I think if Ox's future genuinely is in CM he's going to have one hell of a fight on his hands to improve enough to be worthy of that place, but he must know that looking at our team and still signed for us.

I think you're right, most of his games will be in more advanced positions covering for rotation / injuries etc. Wenger has a stupid amount of senior players for those roles, with us he's obviously behind Mane/Salah (and Lemar if that happens) out wide, and Lallana/Coutinho in the middle if we're playing an attacking mid, but that's about it.

Definitely strengthens our squad. A lot of money to do that (amazing when you think about it that, with 10 months on his contract, he's cost at least what Salah did), but that's this league for you.

only just turned 24, English premium, used to the league, potentially a very high ceiling

Can cover 7 out of the 10 outfield positions

I think he will surprise a few tbh watching him properly for 90 minutes rather than highlights or half arsed

our set up and a change of scenery could really liberate him.

I think he'll be a utility player but not in a bad way. You can see him swapping with Mane, Salah, Lallana and Coutinho (if he stays) . He might get the odd game in deeper midfield roles but I suspect these might be in cup games

AOC - Squad Player
Sigurdsson - Star Player

Lets compare to Mane, Coutinho

[red g]

gylffi was a star man in a **** team.

I am not sure if the Ox is right but many pundits think he could be a great player and lets face it, Walcott, Chambers, wilshere, Ramsey all **** at Arsenal and were supposed to turn into great players,

[brightred]

Let's hope he's not an Oxymoron.



Yeah I went there.

I love a good English grammatical joke!

Well done you!

Paradoxically yours

I think AOC will surprise a few people, Wenger lost his mojo years ago is nothing more than a wank sock now, Ox never really got a chance at Arsenal
