Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain

I'd rather us get Ousmane Dembele to be honest.

FWIW Raheem and the Ox share the same agent.

Arent they both investors in the business?

One of the most overrated English players of the last 20 years. Has no quality other than speed, and though he's young is nowhere near good enough for us.

That I'm not sure about but it wouldn't surprise me. I remember reading last summer that Ward's MO was basically to offer all the players who moved with him from his old agency a piece of the pie.

Ah right, thanks mate.

If City have dangled a similar contract to the one Raheem signed in front of Ward for the Ox then you'd think that Ward will do whatever it takes to make the move happen. I also think it'll take some agitation because I don't see Arsenal being willing sellers to City.

Nor do I, it was interesting following the sale of RVP the strategy seemed to change at Arsenal in regards holding on to their best by showing proper investment, eg Ozil and Sanchez. If we do have designs on Ox I can see them digging their heels in and things getting very messy.

Absolutely, which I guess is why someone has seen fit to drop this story in Winter's lap so many months out from the summer. Realistically with his injury record and the fact that he hasn't really developed at all since his move, Arsenal can't expect big money. There's also been stories for the last 12/18 months that Wenger/Ox have a bit of a problem with each other because of the lack of playing time he's been given when fit. 30 million tops.

Arsenal will also be wary of Ward and what happened with Sterling. They won't want to be seen to be bullied into this, so it wouldn't surprise me if they started feeding the line out that Wenger doesn't particularly rate him and that they don't mind a sale for the right price.
