Incoming? Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain

[Old Programme seller]

Just wondering, if the physios bench is full does the player that’s been on the longest suddenly become uninjured? Or will he be shot?

 

[Groucho Blade]

Surely he’ll be going to Saudi?

 

[Lower Drop Blade]

I hope not

 

[Bladesthorpe]

Someone for Brewster to reminisce with on the treatment table.

Better than Norwood.
Improve the squad

I saw Alex playing for his school team, St John’s College in Southsea, and he was incredible. Not only was he Head and shoulders above any other boy on the pitch, he played WITH his team mates. Chatted to his Dad and gave him a bit of stick for his past choice of football teams!

He was about 9 at the time.

The sort of player that goes to Turkey.

I’m off to Turkey on Monday

I’ll have a quiet word in his shell like . I’ll sell him the idea of signing for us for nothing but the love of the club .

Watch this space

It works in the same way as there were 10 in the bed

 

[hshaw88]

probably a nothing article but Ekrem Konur is a reputable source if true, on a huge wage cut I’m all for it

 

[Blade58]

I suspect he’s off to PL with Southampton then?

Shame because it would send a message out to fans and other clubs a sign of intent

 

[ben1987]

Doubt he was ever really linked to us, just using the same personal trainer as some of our lads. He was training with Jebbison and a few others.

Doesn’t sound like Jebbo will have been singing our praises either.

 

[DeanLearner'sCat]

Ekrem Konur is a reputable source

He really isn't.

 

[wizadry]

I thought he was still training with us? That can’t hurt I suppose.

 

[NateDogg]

Am I the only one who thinks this would be a terrible signing?

 

[NerdyBlade]

Nope I'm in the same boat - what does he actually add other than an extra pair of legs as cover for the inevitable injuries?

 

[Groucho Blade]

Looking for a club to take over paying his wages…

How on earth have we got involved then???

We probably havent

 

[Derek1889]

Hell go back to Southampton

 

[LurkerBladeS2]

This has resurfaced again with Southampton saying they aren't interested leaves us as the only "rumoured" club.

20 games, 4 goals and an assist in Turkey isn't horrendous but would have to be on very favourable wages for it to be viable IMO.

 

[Shadota]

His wage demands would be utterly absurd. He joined Arsenal in 2011, so for 13 years he's been playing at an elite level. I'd expect that at Arsenal and/or Liverpool he would have been earning a 6 figure sum per week. Has probably dropped a bit to go to Turkey, but would still be on a wage that we could use to get 3-4 players in at a minimum. And central midfield is where we are least in need of investment.

Would be a poor deal for me.

 

[ancientblade]

definete no no we shouldnt be going anywhere near this guy

 

[Slim Man]

If fit he'd be our best player.

He hasn't been fit for a prolonged period in his whole career.

We won't be interested.

 

[Balti Pie]

I would have though a newly promoted Prem team would take a gamble on him, hoping to replicate what Luton did with Ross Barkley.

Very probably, because when fully fit he was an England player. He'd have been a real asset in midfield at the Euros this summer.

I don't know if he's still got that in him - presumably not.

to make this attractive for us it would be on a smallish weekly wage, maybe £10k, appearance bonus and goal/assist bonus, and arrives on a free

non of those will happen as I suspect it will be £100k pw, plus bonusses and a multi million fee

if anyone at the club is thinking seriously about this, can someone show them a picture of Tom Davies

 

[moody1889]

If we could keep him fit could be a didzy all over he is a quality player when all is said and done.
