[Albion] Oxlade Chamberlain on a free

[chaileyjem]

Only source is the Mail but would fit that Welbeck/Lallana/Veltman type signing . Wages though ? He’s 29 and 30 in August. Also are we short of winger/forwards ? Even after Trossard exit ?

Brighton are targeting Liverpool midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain

Brighton have registered an interest in signing Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. But any deal is likely to depend on whether Liverpool are open to letting the player leave on a free transfer.

No thank you

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Back to Stains, Shirley?

Back to Stains, Shirley?

That’s probably what people said about Lallana.

 

[Surf's Up]

There's a reason he's free.

 

[S'hampton Seagull]

Hmmmmm, when was the last time he had a run of good performances? Perhaps worth it if the deal is right, bait what does he have left in the tank.

 

[stewart12]

could join the small rank of Albion players whose dad also played for the club

for that very reason I am IN

 

[A1X]

Not for me, Clive

 

[Reddleman]

All the reasons why we shouldn’t sign him are the exact same ones people used for not signing Lallana and Welbeck who have both turned out to be excellent buys. It’s a yes from me.

There's a reason he's free.

Well at the moment the interest in clubs, apparently, is dependent on him being offered on a free transfer. His contract runs out this summer. Perhaps RDZ was impressed with him when he started against us last week.

 

[Swansman]

Would only happen if Lallana thinks he's a model pro who'd bring a lot to the group... and if Lallana thinks so, I'm on the Ox train.

Thought he was at least 33 btw.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Might as well get in first,

“Got Everton written all over it”

Absolutely. Like Welbeck and Lallana he'll come with a winners mentality and obvious quality. Can pay in midfield or out wide. Big yes from me

 

[Weststander]

Very injury prone and his game’s declined sharply.

Avoid.

 

[GoingUp]

I thought he was older than 29 tbh.

It would be interesting signing, he seems a nice kid and has won trophies, very much along Lallana and Welbeck line. He could probably help 'mentor' our younger players too.

 

[banjo]

If he can replace Lallana on 65 minutes and play as well I’m in.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

That’s probably what people said about Lallana.

Three years ago I would have snapped off your hand for Oxtail Chamberpot, but I feel that we may have moved on.....

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

nowhere near as influential, waste of wages, we do not need him.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

He'll come with a non-playing team mate of winners' mentality.

 

[Change at Barnham]

A possible signing that no Albion fans or pundits have considered.
Yet if his workload is managed carefully there's no doubt that he is a quality player with loads of experience. He seems to be a decent person from a good family.
If we could get him on a free transfer and he could play 15/20 games a season I think a lot of clubs will be wondering why they didn't do it.
Welbeck and Lallana are great examples of how experience can supplement our squad of youngsters.

It's a yes from me.
