Regardless of how good he is, i can't see a way back for phillipe. Get the best deal possible and improve the squad with best available. Thanks for what you've done, but time to move on.

I can't see a way back. He's said he does not want to play for the club ever again and is refusing to train by all accounts. The most important thing is to rinse Barcelona for every penny they have, to bring in top class players to improve our starting 11, not squad filler like Oxlade Chamberlain.

I see everyone bashing ox, and I agree, he most likely wouldn't be an improvement to our starting 11. he would, however, be a great option to have on the bench or as an option for weeks where we have games in quick succession or injury problems.

We'll sell him last minute, buy Ox for a fraction of the price and then bank the rest. Call it negative but some supporters called this weeks ago.

Canada_Red the mistakes we've constantly made in the previous transfer windows is by buying sub standard players to 'improve the squad'. Isn't it about time we went out and actually improved the starting 11?

mr dennis, I understand he's not an improvement on our starting 11. my point is, at the moment we don't have much for depth. what happens if somebody gets hurt Sunday? lallana down, pipco doing his thing, leaves us Milner and some kids that need more experience.

Or kept our best players?

Although there are better players we could sign, Oxlade-Chaimberlain is the only one who may be available. Personally, I rate him, and I also think Klopp can get the best out of him.

Keep in mind he his best years are ahead of him. Wenger wants him to stay and he's breaking into their squad now. The contract ending, as in Sanchez case, is the only reason they would be willing to let him go. because they risk losing him on a free.

You understand Canada Red that buying a squad player or someone to play in the first 11 has the same effect.
+1 player, it just means a former 1st teamer sits on the bench (who is more useful than buying a benchwarmer) .

jtred very good point and I agree 100%, rather buy a starting 11 player then a bench player all day! how many of them are available right now? I see 0. rather add somebody for depth on the bench, than nobody at all.

So canada you are in favour of bringing someone in who does not improve the first team and blocks the progress of the very promising youngsters we have in the squad. Is he better than grujic in the middle? Not to my mind im afraid and that's why i would not be spending £35m on squad player.
