Anybody else have a suspicion that the signing of Oxlade Chamberlain would be with a view to using him as an alternative to Clyne?

no. although i was thinking that if we signed salah he could be used at lb.

Perhaps. He's very versatile so he would be a good squad player especially with champions league coming up. My only worry about him is his price. Anything below £20m is a fair price for me.

I seriously doubt the player would be remotely close to being interested in joining us if that's the case. He was talking about how he wanted to be like Steven Gerrard!

U mean OX at RB? That's just stupid imo. He has no defensive nous or end product. Basically we are signing the English Alberto Moreno. Unnecessary signing imo, and the wages he would want could be put to complete the VVD and Salah deals.

Hmmm, I was thinking he'd be instead of Keita, but you might be onto something there.

The more I think about it the more it wouldn't surprise me, he finished the season as a wing back at Arsenal and put in a few decent shifts. He played a central midfielder at full back all of last year and it wasnt a disaster, and we are apparently signing a RW to play on the LW, foolish to rule it out just because you consider him a winger.

This love-in with Ox is just baffling. People say he is versatile. Wrong. He is simply a jack of all trades and master of none. he is also very injury-prone and not better than even our squad players. Him at RB would be madness as he can't defend, can't attack and is just a runner (something anyone even myself can do) . I propose we stay away from him cos he along with Walcott, Ramsey and Gibbs, have been stuck in neutral for years now at Arsenal in terms of their development. We can definitely do better than him even as a squad player.
