Sounds a lot like Lallana to me. He has proven his worth. Worth a punt for no money.
Glad to see I'm one of the few on the right side of history: https://www.northstandchat.com/threads/adam-lallana-singed.378367/post-9432272
@Farehamseagull proved right too
I'm much more sceptical about what the Ox offers though. Willing to be proved wrong but I just don't see it.
But being a free agent, he would command high wages.
I'd like to compare injury records in recent seasons, AOC seems forever in rehab.

I felt the same when we were linked with Lallana and Welbeck. It astounds me to read how many of our fans think that a player with over 30 caps for England is crap and not worth signing. You don't play for Arsenal, Liverpool and England as many times as Oxlade-Chamberlain if you're not a very very good player. And those questioning his attitude, I have no idea where that's coming from. Seems to have conducted himself pretty professionally over the years with no controversies.
I think he'll be a good addition to the squad as he adds top level experience and tactical versatility, I think it's a very Brighton signing and he'd prove some doubters wrong if he came.

I thought he was awful against us in the League, and he's done nothing in the other Liverpool matches I've watched this season. He's just lost his edge, too comfortable drawing £120K per week benchwarming for Salah/Mane/Firmino/Nunez/Jota/Diaz. Southampton or Palace beckon.

Your support is not that great
Yes, my thoughts pretty much exactly. I was looking at him and thinking, isn't it interesting to watch a Liverpool player who wouldn't get into a first-choice Brighton XI?
I'd generally trust the club more than my own instincts, though I still think I was right about Paddy McCourt and Chris O'Grady.

Didn't he score the other week?

Even if he accepted a 75% pay cut this wouldn't look particularly good business to me.

Cannot be bothered reading thread.
But can he play left back?

Ox: what no-ones offered me a contract yet? Why not?
Agent: you're injury prone and people just don't think you're very good.
Ox: what can I do?
Agent: work harder and play better?
Ox: No seriously
Agent: well I can make out Brighton have enquired and then other clubs might think you're really rather good and can manage a decent amount of gametime.

i think if he could stay fit and Get a run in the team he be a great box to box midfield. Just needs a run in team like Welbeck and Lallana
When Lallana left Liverpool, there was a general disappointment amongst their fans, despite his injury problems, because he's quality on and off the pitch and he was a key player in the early stages after Kopp arrived.
I don't get the impression many people up there will be that bothered when Oxlade-Chamberlain leaves.

They also think £30m for Caicedo is fair
It's not no money though is it, we'd have to buy another chair for the physio's room.

Wasn't Welbeck struggling at Watford before we bought him?
I know the situations were different in that Welbeck played a position we were badly in need of help at.
