Yeah rumours on the Ox to you are rife today. I can see why as not only can he play RWB, he will also add depth to your midfield. To be honest though I'd happily take £35m for him, especially with 1 year left. I just don't think he will ever have that real consistency and his ceiling for a top club will be a James Milner level player. Wouldn't surprise me to see him go back to that injury prone, useless player he was when he doesn't have a contract to play for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its amazing Ajax only paid 4 million for him last year. Are you surprised? Footballers come in peanuts on the west coast of South America, and each nation produces brilliant talent.

The Liquidator Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Yeah, as already written here, Ox could well be moving across London. Many of the London rags are suggesting he is keen after continuing to tell Arsenal he will not sign a new contract with them. It also being suggested that Chelsea are hopeful of also getting Sanchez.

Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted August 15, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted August 15, 2017 Gareth Barry to West Brom looks a done deal. Should be a quality addition for them, impressed he's still moving to get more games at his age as well though he'll be a massive miss for us in the dressing room and on the training pitch by all accounts. Positives, it gives Besic probably another season to prove himself to Koeman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redcanuck Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Will be interesting to see if Sigurdsson can step up to a bigger club than Swansea this time, he failed miserably when he tried to step up to a much bigger club when he went to Spurs.

Subscriber Dan+ Posted August 16, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted August 16, 2017 Percy reckons we want £40mil for Drinkwater. I'll piss myself laughing if we get that for him. ITK's reckon he's off though. I'd be sad to see him go but we could add some real quality with that money. Also a rumour doing the rounds that Watford want Slimani and Talksport reckoned the fee would be £30mil I know we paid that for him, ridiculously, but surely they don't need him enough to pay that. In an ideal scenario I'd keep them both but you couldn't possibly turn down £70mil for those two. It's crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better off rejecting and keeping the players. Southampton are doing it with VVD, RBL with Kieta and ourselves with Coutinho. Whats the point of £70m in today's market? It's the equivalent of £20m 2 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HK85 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 “Is that about Costa?!” Koeman replied, with a smile. “Of course you like to sign players for the future but if you can get the best one why not? “That’s for six months, the season, two years. “I am open to everything to get the best quality players for the team.” ----- Dream on, Ronald.

He wasn't THAT bad, but he was never a £30mil player and said so at the time. A complete panic buy indicative of the failings we had last summer. Ideally I'd keep him but if we can recoup that money at his age then we're fools if we don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't heard anything about this but as you're the fourth team linked with him in a short period of time something must not be right. If DeBoer continues to deploy him RWB his stock could drop significantly over 12 months. Weve been linked with Oliver Burke who despite lacking experience would soften the blow somewhat.
