Window Cleaner Posted 6 February, 2015 Share Posted 6 February, 2015 Probably nothing more than forging a sick note from his Mum to get off a day out at Bournemouth and going to the Emirates instead....I mean the club told us he was ill right?

Crazy Diamond Posted 6 February, 2015 Share Posted 6 February, 2015 Oxlade-Chamberlain went behind the club's back, defied their embargo on young players talking to the media, and gave an interview to the Telegraph about how much he want to leave. He and his family forced the move to Arsenal (though the Echo were forced to issue a denial), but we applaud him because he applauds us? Brilliant. It's the same stupid mentality from the same fans that will shout 'break his legs!' during a game or will ignore all the bad points of a player as long as he 'puts a shift in.' Chambers is a regular for Arsenal and an England international, it's not as if he left us and isn't playing or achieving things. The fact he came through our academy doesn't tie him to us for life. Maybe we should still be lining up with Oliver Lancashire (Rochdale), Jake Thomson (AFC Portchester) and Arron Davies (Exeter City). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 6 February, 2015 Share Posted 6 February, 2015 Chambers is a regular for Arsenal and an England international He was a regular at the start of the season when they had a load of defensive injuries, he's barely played since their players got fit (and Coquelin stepped up to play DM ahead of him).

Redslo Posted 6 February, 2015 Share Posted 6 February, 2015 He was a regular at the start of the season when they had a load of defensive injuries, he's barely played since their players got fit (and Coquelin stepped up to play DM ahead of him). His skills almost certainly would have improved more had he stayed with Southampton. But he would have had less money and he would not have played in the Champions League. His English debut would have been delayed, but he would probably be a more secure part of the set up now. On the other hand, he has almost certainly earned at least 10 million pounds more by moving when he did. Most of us would switch jobs for that kind of money. I suppose it's to much to hope that Arsenal have done something dodgy and have to be deducted 10pts as a punishment It is not too much to hope for--only too much to expect. I agree. Plus we'd have won the Championship if he was in the team. Yes we got promoted, but I just want to see us win a bloody trophy other than the sodding JPT. Personally I don't clap or boo any of them. I might laugh at them if they fall over, miss an easy shot or misplace a pass but that's it. Agree. Personally I was fine clapping Theo the first time and never had any time for Oxlade-Chamberlain's impatient jump out of the forthcoming Championship season into the England squad. Chambers wasn't even worth acknowledgement, Shaw the same, Lambert got a cheer at Anfield, Lovren got hammered, Lallana will get hammered at St Mary's unless he "chicken judas"es playing in the match. Two things struck me as interesting from that article: to see that Oxlade-Chamberlain's father has just taken over as his agent (again?), so keep an eye out for him agitating for a move soon, and secondly that Chambers' agency has a policy of not speaking to the media - given that some of their job is literally to promote him in the media. I think the policy of not speaking to the media only applies when there is trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adrian lord Posted 6 February, 2015 Share Posted 6 February, 2015 Nah, £a££ana the worst of the lot by a mile. Supposed to be our Captain and leader but let us down when we needed him most, a matter of months aftergoing on record saying he'd happily end his career at Saints. Then using the threat of going on strike to push through the move? Not having him. We aren't a nasty club, the people that run SFC are a decent bunch. The lack of thanks/ a statement when £a££ana left said it all IMO. Wrongun. No problem with Chambers TBH, Shaw either (although I'd have love the club to really fight to keep them as proof of a future full of Academy players). Lambert good luck to him. Lovren just summed up what we should all expect from foreign mercenary players and I'm loving the fact he is being found out without Morgan and Wanyama in front to protect him. post of the year so far, 2015.

LostBoys Posted 7 February, 2015 Share Posted 7 February, 2015 Strange one this and something about his step father as an agent with another agent very odd. May end like McIlroy - sues his management company and ends up paying them £13m - allegedly according to the local press there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please don't clap me Oxlade Chamberlain as I will have to give you another rude sign like the rest of the Kingsland. Never did like his old man poncing around the Dell Cafe Bar - I never knew why he was there and not in hospitality. Good riddance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint_John Posted 27 October, 2015 Share Posted 27 October, 2015 The FA article http://www.thefa.com/news/governance/2015/oct/arsenal-and-alan-middleton-fined-over-calum-chambers-transfer and one of the published report (2nd "here") http://www.thefa.com/~/media/files/pdf/the%20fa%202015-16/football-association-v-1-arsenal-fc-2-alan-middleton-decision-and.ashx?la=en Some quotes that might interest Saints fans (iii) Further, at all material times: (a) PE was an Unlicensed Agent who had taken, but failed, The FA’s Football Agent’s exam; and (b) Steve Moss (“SM”) worked for PE at CSL. SM is and was the partner of the mother of the Player PE had known SM and the Player for some considerable time and in June 2013, the Player had attended a training camp which PE had organised and funded. Both Southampton and the Player considered PE to be the Player’s Agent. During the early summer of 2014 (May/June), the Club was interested in acquiring the registration of the Player. He was aged 19 at the time and playing in the Southampton Reserve Team. Two offers were made by the Club, both of which were rejected by Southampton. The Club maintained its interest in the Player and, by late July 2014, Southampton had become more receptive to the prospect of a transfer. On 24th July 2014, RL contacted PE, believing him to be the Player’s Agent based on information that RL had obtained from Southampton. RL informed PE that the Club had made an offer for the Player which had been accepted in principle by Southampton So we told arsenal that PE (Philip Ercolano) was his Agent and they didn't bother checking !

Arsenal used an unlicensed leech instead of a licensed leech. Did it make any difference? No. Nothing to do with Saints, other than the said leech managed to get us a vastly inflated fee.

Professor Posted 28 October, 2015 Share Posted 28 October, 2015 Chambers selection for England in 2014, immediately after his transfer to Arsenal wasn't a high spot of Roy Hodgson's managerial career. Blinded by the inflated transfer fee into giving an inexperienced player two caps, before realising his error. Doubt if Saints will ever get the add-ons to the transfer fee that would have taken it up to £16m but even so, you can't help smiling at Arsenal being taken to the cleaners.
