Hammers get top Gun “offer”

|

Oxlade-ChamberlainArsenal’s Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has reportedly been offered to West Ham .

And given the news was broken by friend of ClaretandHugh’s, and Mirror reporter, Darren Lewis we tend to believe the stry can be taken seriously.

Darren says in his piece: “Arsene Wenger is poised to stage a clear out this summer following the club’s title failure with several players set to be moved on.”

The Irons board have close links with the Gunners following the loan moves of Carl Jenkinson to the club and could be in the market for  right winger with Victor Moses’s loan move not being renewed.

It would give Slaven Bilic serious options down that side with Michail Antonio having been such a plus in that position.

He cost just £7 million but The Ox is likely to double that and whether the Irons – with their priority a £20 million striker – will go for that remains to be seen.

    Antonio plays better on the left. Most of his goals for forest came from the left side of the goal. Ox on the right Antonio on left would scare defences but is Oxford injury prone or past his best? Why would the Arse let him go?

    Seems to spend too much time on the treatment table for me . We need to be very wary of players that are priced in that bracket £15 mil or so that other clubs are eager to offload .

      I’m sure by the end of the season according to the media we will have been offered or after about 500 players,lol.It’s heading towards that time of year.Can’t be bothered to take any stories seriously until someone actually signs on the dotted line.

    Him and Walcott only play in half the games in any season,we can’t end up with any more like that,
    Torre would be about the same value in cash and be a better bet,
    There will be a lot of players just like these available this summer,Mata of Manure,
    Several from Chelski when they have a clear out,
    Why ditch Valencia and replace him with another of the same,type,
    Barinhino of WBA would be better and cost just a little more
    Ayew of Villa Sissoko of Newcastle,Ayew of Swansea,either winger at Palace all better then The Gooners
