They sold Sterling for 50m, shouldn't accept anything less than 40m for Ox.
Players Out
These are the same petty cunts that specifically inserted a clause into Firminho's contract that specifically excludes us from even being able to activate it. We definitely shouldn't make it easy for them.
I wouldn't sell him unless he want's to go or is demanding silly money though.

TBF Sterling is a lot better than Ox.
If it's the Ox we saw at fullback, we surely can't let him leave for less than 40m.

That's not enough. Lead them on for the whole summer and at the last minute tell them to fuck off regardless of the fee they're offering
No objections here.
A little too much up in he air this summer.
aulas is a piece of shit

I'd take the £25m TBH. He is a crock who has never had a prolonged period of good form. Flashes here and there but if we can sell Ox and replace him with Lemar for similar money I think that would be very good business.
Definitely. If Chambo doesn't extend I'll take the money too. I reckon they'll get him on the cheap relative to how he'll perform for them, but it is what it is. We could use the extra money this summer, especially if we're serious about keeping Alexis and Özil (which we should be). I don't think he's a realistic longterm option out wide in this team anyway. He's not good enough in either end of the field to play out there.
I would not sell him for 25 million to Liverpool. After the shit they pulled with suarez I would make sure they pay upwards of 35 million for Ox. We really should aim to keep him , he is the one wide player we have who can beat his opposite number on the outside. Too many years of wide men checking back and passing sideways
Why cut off our noses and lost £25m just because its Liverpool. Ox doesn't compare to Suarez, he's not a difference maker at all. Where is he even going to play for Liverpool? Their front 4 are all better than him.
Guardian post a hail Mary story about shitty being confident of getting sanchez, at the exact same time as they post a story about our lemar bid being rejected. Transparent bullshitting right there
Absolutely drooling at our attacking speed already, if Oxlade gets added it'll be dynamic.

Thatstory is an utter car crash. For one this it suggests Alexis' nonexistent wife likes it in London.
Ornstein just said 50-50 if Alexis will go.

Not quite 50/50, just said he may go or he may sign a new deal. Emphasised once again that we're reluctant to sell to an English club.
Cutting off our noses? How about stop being pussies and playing hardball . We have had too much sentiment while other clubs take us as easy picking's when they want our players.
Tired of seeing Sanchez name in the papers. Hope it's just a London media-Lind reader bias. If we put a bow on Sanchez and hand him to City, I won't even bother with next season. I would be beyond disgusted by Wenger and his dimwit twin Gazidis

You play hard ball on players like Alexis. £25m for Ox would be great business. Liverpool don't use wingbacks so what are they going to do with Ox?

Get with it Qwiss!
£25m will barely get you a half decent goalkeeper these days, would be pointless to sell Ox for that much.
Wouldn't we have too few HG players after selling Ox, Gibbs, Wilshere, Walcott and (if I'm not mistaken) Szczesny?

If its pace they want they can have Welbeck too.
Theo as well.
Lol Liverpool. Think they'll struggle this year
Can we just cash in on the shit twat
He's right, he does have a contract 'over here' that runs another 5 years.
if Barca offer us more for Bellerin than LFC for Ox then why not sell the former unless we are going to revert back to 4 at the back?
if we can get £40m for bellerin, then we should do that.
sign a good defensive RB, use ox as first choice, and then have a more defensive option available when we need to tighten things up.

Agreed,
which is why I'm somewhat surprised that we are linked to another LB so quickly.
Perhaps why we have been 'linked' to Cuadrado as cover / competition for whom ever stays of Bellerin or Ox?
WHam 25m for Walcott = I'd snap their hand off.
Likewise for Giroud,
and then watch them put them together as a front 2.

Because Bellerin has 5 years on his contract and Ox has 1.

If the players wants out then the years left on contract translate to an increased transfer fee,
however I doubt you'd get more than 40m as it would make him about the most expensive fee paid.
Would also depend if Ox wanted out or not.
Why are we even entertaining Barcelona? We should tell them to piss off. Bellerin is one of our best players. Don't be fooled by a few Ox cameos at right back. The Spaniard is better in both directions.
ox has rejected our latest offer apparently, as we can't guarantee minutes. he's determined to be selected for englands next major tournament debacle
Great news. Hope we can flog him for a good fee and buy a decent WB who can actually stay fit for more than half a season.

Totally agree.

Where is he going to go that gaurantees him minutes? Liverpool? Klopp rotates everyone. Ox is nowhere near good enough to be demanding minutes at any decent team.
I think this media talk of us not being able to guarantee minutes is fabricated nonsense. That's not how contract negotiations work
However if it's true that Ox is stalling because of a couple halfdecent performances after delivering five years worth of lukewarm dogshit then sell him immediately. He's no Alexis and we could do much better if we reinvested the England-inflated fee we'd get for him
