ARSENAL WANT £20M FOR WILSHERE

CHELSEA PLAN OX TALKS

Chelsea are planning to hold talks over a move for Arsenal midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, according to Sky Sports.

The England international has rejected a new deal at the Emirates Stadium, and the Blues will swoop in after the two clubs face one another on Saturday.

Eh...what?

We need the Ox. If there is someone who is better than Ox in every category and is younger and cheaper, then sell him because we need him at RWB to compete with Bellerin so Bellerin doesn't get off easy if he has some bad form.

With Alexis, if we are able to buy someone better, then sell him for what I heard PSG offered 70 million so we can fix other problems like a pivot that is reliable like Santi when he plays and not out injured all the time.

On second thought, if we get an overpriced offer for him, then we will just give him away (unless maybe it is a rival) and allow opportunities to the likes of Maitland-Niles and Nelson.

This is progress from a long time ago when we kept a lot of flops in our squad. Wenger is getting rid of them to make room for better players.

Some years ago, we could of gotten Xabi if Wenger hadn't put so much faith in the midfielders we had that turned into flops.

Proper banter

We've displayed excessive-prudence with new buys (in the past), but poor follow-up with being strict with the boys we've retained and believed to have potential in, which resulted in where we are now.

And the fact that we've yet to get existing players sign new contracts is making fans feel uneasy.

"New Season, similar problem"

Get Lemar across the line.

Do one

Should get Lemar/Reus, if Alexis leaves.. and should have gone for Matic and van Dijk...
