Anyone know if there is any genuine interest in Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain from our Club?
07 Sep 2025 21:09:32
Clickbait I think and 32 to boot, it's a naw for me.
07 Sep 2025 21:11:57
Id doubt it as we've put our Europe squad in and surely that wiukd be the pull for someone like him.
07 Sep 2025 22:04:11
Rumour certainly out there and to a few clubs incl Leeds, don't know Fork I think there may be value in it for us if he's fit and not greedy.
07 Sep 2025 22:51:59
32 isn't old for a midfielder like him. If there is genuine interest from the epl there is no way he's coming to us. Great signing if we get him though.
08 Sep 2025 08:28:39
A no brainer if he wants to come.
08 Sep 2025 08:48:50
Another Aaron Ramsey type signing.
Pains me to even type his name :' (.
08 Sep 2025 10:05:28
Already got old capstan Joe, would rather be building a team for the future than getting guys in the twilight of their career on daft wages for a season or two if lucky.
08 Sep 2025 10:57:01
We talk about that Everton lad being injury prone with a couple of injuries, then we talk about signing someone that is very injury prone, not for me.
08 Sep 2025 12:15:19
The lad from Everton isn't injured prone in the transfer stats where we get there information if they have no information on why there is games missed or no record for an absence they write injured.
08 Sep 2025 12:45:37
Pay per play or not at all I think but we should always consider quality if on our terms, Gio was his manager so a report from him should decide things.
08 Sep 2025 13:18:07
If we are looking at the players still available on a free I would rather it was a left back or a real class act like Eriksson.
08 Sep 2025 13:23:25
Agreed mystar stay well clear.
08 Sep 2025 13:38:17
Has to be rubbish. surely if we are going for any free agents they would be left backs as that's the area we are weak in.
08 Sep 2025 13:50:38
If we were going to pursue free agents, nstead of Oxlade-Chamberlain why don't we go after Reguilon, we desperately need experience at LB.
08 Sep 2025 16:22:48
Hell no been finished for a long time that boy.
08 Sep 2025 20:06:46
It's legit interest.
09 Sep 2025 00:51:56
"We need experience"
"He's 32 it's a no from me"
09 Sep 2025 09:22:35
Would rather have a young hungry guy, than an older player looking for an easy paycheck imo he's done.
09 Sep 2025 11:49:38
What about needing experience?
09 Sep 2025 13:51:29
Doubt it. His Mrs will still be raging about the 2016 Christmas number 1 battle.
09 Sep 2025 16:10:42
Not sure about Chamberlain.
BUT .
Plenty BIG clubs are keen on a young Moroccan lad who has scored in both their recent international games this month, apparently a french premier league club picked him up for a bargain 11 mill euros.
He is expected to be Both Morrocco and LOSCs main CF this season.
Apparently a SPFL club couldn't wait to get rid of this highly rated very talented young striker, no surprise after he was told by their current manage he was not required or wanted at the club since the new manager took over.
Mark my words this lad will be worth 40 plus mill by the end of the French premier league season, especially once he shows what he can really do when he is backed 100% and is played consistently in his position.
Clearly the new manager at said SPFL club is utterly clueless to bin and oust a young lad who is clearly one of the top up and coming young CF's in the world right now.
Nice of that scottish club to gift such a phenomenal talent to another club for what will be the bargain of the season, especially in a season where the scottish club claim they want to win the league, go on an extended run in Europe and stop Celtic stripping them of there historic cup total and demote them to simply no longer the best.
whoever is running and managing that scottish club is utterly clueless.
09 Sep 2025 18:46:58
Hagi u seem to omit we had a fixed price 12 million, and the lad did not want to play for this spfl club and had agreed to leave before new manager arrived.
09 Sep 2025 19:26:14
Fair enough John, that may have been the case, you have more inside info on here than most, i think most players of his talent level would not stick around at our club with the way its been flopping season after season since our europa league final appearance.
on a more positive note i believe we have a team capable of winning the league this season, but only if we get rid of Martin ASAP.
further we let Celtic pull away and tolerate the pathetic tactics martin employs the harder that possibility becomes.
if we keep him for a full season, i fully expect us to finish in the bottom 6, as teams can see we are there for the taking, with martin at the helm in our europa games we will get absolutely slaughtered by the quality sides we are up against of which there are many, Farioli's Porto side will have a field day with the way he has them playing already, had we chosen him over martin we would be top of SPFL now and dealt Celtic there 1st loss, as well as having 12 points and being unbeaten yet.
Young Farioli is the kind of manager we need, one with excellent disipline and superb tactics.
If i was a betting man, i'd put money on Porto easily winning the league this season with Farioli at the helm.
09 Sep 2025 19:41:20
But why let the truth get in the way of a fairy story john.
09 Sep 2025 20:07:48
Well said John.
09 Sep 2025 23:37:07
Is there no a % sell on included in the Igamane deal too?
10 Sep 2025 08:14:05
Yes, but previous manager and interim manager never gave him a run in the team from my recollection, it's no wonder he decided it wasn't for him.
Maybe it wouldn't have mattered if he'd been played more often and he'd still have wanted away.
I'd liked to have seen him play more though in his time with us.
Good luck to Igamane anyway and let's hope for a big sell on at some point.
10 Sep 2025 08:46:50
Hagi, I like fariola as a manager.
