Not sure why so many are saying Ox is average. Big lad, strength, pace and offers versatility plus home grown status.
If Conte is after him then he cannot be that bad.
Ox is a player Klopp will be able to improve and not going to cost the club an arm and leg.
Can easily fill in for Lallana.
{Ed025's Note - hes hopeless max..
07 Aug 2017 19:27:10
He lacks intelligence on the ball, his shooting is hopeless, hasn't any vision with his passing and has no absolutely no positional sense. He's has delusions of mediocrity. The lad actually thinks he can be a central midfielder contrary to the evidence.
07 Aug 2017 19:27:33
Would rather have Ox than huff and puff Barkley Ed025.
07 Aug 2017 19:43:28
If Ox is that bad then why would Conte want to add him to his Chelsea squad?
I've watched Ox and my opinion, do not understand the vitrol against him. It has become clear that Klopp is a massive fan of Ox so I will trust his instincts.
07 Aug 2017 19:45:35
I would gladly buy the Ox over Andre Gomes.
07 Aug 2017 19:49:18
Andre Gomes can at least pass the ball forward and is an actual centre midfield player. Ox is your standard English brainless midfielder, you saw him get the run around by Bayern and France when he played in centre midfield? He looked out of his depth. He simply lacks the intelligence to play there.
{Ed025's Note - i agree FMS..

Max, Conte wants him to challenge for right wing back, he wouldn't dare risk him in the middle as he knows that he's hopeless in that position.
07 Aug 2017 20:01:15
What utter BS. Conte is not going to just sign a player for the sake or filling a space in his squad.
Does that mean Klopp wants to play him at Right wing back? Are you for real?
Go home Frankly. Your negativity is a cesspool.
07 Aug 2017 20:04:07
Ed025. He is not hopeless mate and would walk into your team imo. He can play either wing as well as central or full back. Hopeless is not a player with regular England call ups and plays in a top 4 team in England. He isn't world class mate but hopless is the wrong way to describe him imo.
{Ed025's Note - sorry mate...i meant pathetic..
07 Aug 2017 20:10:44
I think he's a wum. I'm all for different opinions but I'm not sure I've seen fms post anything at all of a positive nature. Apologies if I'm wrong but that's how it comes across.
07 Aug 2017 20:17:45
Getting regular England caps is no sign of quality. Two words, Joe Hart.
07 Aug 2017 20:15:41
Ed025, it is ok, you have your opinion but end season is what matters :-)
Everton have not finished ahead of Liverpool very often in recent times have you?
{Ed025's Note - it goes in cycles max..and its our turn now i think mate..
07 Aug 2017 20:24:21
You're missing the point Max. Conte wants a right wing back, he wants to sign Oxlade for that position. If Klopp buys him, apparently and in defiance of reason and logic, he wants him to play in centre midfield, which would be a terrible decision. Conte wouldn't put Oxlade in centre midfield in a million years as it would be football suicide. Worse still is that the inference that he would be Coutinho's replacement, which really is bad news. Where the idea that Oxlade can play in the middle comes from is beyond me. In his own head? Maybe. In reality, he's hopeless in the middle.
07 Aug 2017 20:32:57
Yeah Ed025. Season end we will be back here again :-)
{Ed025's Note - i hope you do well max, we will need a bit of healthy competition in the city..just stop selling your best players and make a fight of it!..
07 Aug 2017 20:37:21
Thing is Lfchopeful, is there anything to be hopeful about?
(1) We're about to sell our star player, probably for peanuts to Barcelona.
(2) We missed out on ?.
(3) We ballsed up any chance of getting VVD and he's about to join Chelsea.
(4) We apparently want to replace Coutinho with Oxlade Chamberlain.
(5) We still have the same problems we had last season while all of our opponents have improved.
If that isn't a disaster, I don't know what is.
{Ed025's Note - im looking for an assistant FMS...interested?..
07 Aug 2017 20:56:26
Ed025, when it comes top players wanting to go then there is not much you can do about i. e. Lukaku.
Hope you guys have found somebody to replace his 26 goals of last season.
Sandro RamÃrez? Oh wait, Rooney to the rescue :-O.
{Ed025's Note - to be honest max we relied on him too much, im hoping now that we have a multi-pronged attack that we are not as one dimensional and spread the scoring around a bit..
