Lets B Avenue Posted 28 August, 2017 Share Posted 28 August, 2017 I see that FdB is looking for Jose Fonte to help 'save' his job already at Palace. But that will mean moving away from his wife's family, which was, apparently, the reason for going there in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doddisalegend Posted 28 August, 2017 Share Posted 28 August, 2017 The numbers WBA dropped in the media are around £30m. He'll end up going for around that price I'd have thought. Got to try and accept that £30m these days is what a £10m signing used to be. Maybe we should let Les and the club know 30 is the new 10...

Dellman Posted 28 August, 2017 Share Posted 28 August, 2017 The Townsend one is a joke right? I mean sure, he is pretty good in 2 games per year and will cut inside and shoot in an exciting fashion successfully perhaps 4 times a year, and there's no doubt his hair tattoo will look perfectly natural all season long, but it seems like poor business to pay more than nothing for him. Perfect summary. To be avoided at all costs, even at no cost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Window Cleaner Posted 28 August, 2017 Share Posted 28 August, 2017 Eh? What if he has a bad injury a week before the season ends? Then he'd probably fail the obligatory medical and the deal would be off for the future immediate future anyway. The difference here being that Keita can afford to wait another season, much younger and I think Leipzig are in the ECL aren't they. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSAINT Posted 28 August, 2017 Share Posted 28 August, 2017 From SSN: CHELSEA AGREE OX FEE WITH ARSENAL We understand Chelsea have agreed a fee with Arsenal for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. The 24-year old is currently with the England squad at St George’s Park. It’s thought that large parts of his medical could be carried out at England’s training centre. The clubs are yet to confirm the development but it’s our understanding that an agreement between the two clubs has been reached this afternoon. The fee is believed to be around £35m.

Window Cleaner Posted 28 August, 2017 Share Posted 28 August, 2017 From SSN: Can't really see why Chelsea need him though. Perhaps the sole reason is to deprive Arsenal earlier of one of their better players who, I seem to remember, wants to leave anyway. Think Arsenal are going to have a really crappy season this time round, just a hunch, mind you I did predict them dropping out of the Top 4 last season..

Chelsea need back-up/competition for Moses at right wing back. Oxlade-Chamberlain is probably one of the best options they can get for that right now.

Though he was just filling in at CB because of Cahill's sending off against Burnley. I mean I like Azpi (well for an ex OM man anyway) but he's really not a CB of any great standing.

Agree with both of you but the funny thing is that he supposedly wants to leave because he's not playing enough games in his favoured position.

qwertyell Posted 28 August, 2017 Share Posted 28 August, 2017 Did we wrangle a sell on clause with Arsenal for Oxlade-Chamberlain? It was rumoured Cortese insisted on all kinds of clauses when the 17 year old with one season of League One under his belt declared that he wanted to play Champions League and condemned his development to seven years of stagnation.

I mean I like Azpi (well for an ex OM man anyway) but he's really not a CB of any great standing. He played CB with Cahill and Luiz, from the time they changed to 352 last September. That seemed to work out quite well, despite his lack of standing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I like Azpi (well for an ex OM man anyway) but he's really not a CB of any great standing. Ever since they changed to 3-5-2 near the start of last season Azpilicueta has played as one of the 3 centre-backs. He has only played at right wing back on occasion when Moses was unavailable or required to play further forward due to other players being unavailable there. I'm sure that Conte wants someone who can play as a more attacking right wing back, similar to Moses, as backup/competition for the role. And of course Oxlade-Chamberlain can also fill in for various other positions if needed, as noted by others here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
