Seems strange that we did not go in more stronger for his signature as he seems to fit all the criteria for our transfer strategy, young, has ability, and a potential for a profit if we might sell in the future.
Not just going on his last few performances, the lad showed real talent at Southampton, but only Arsenal took the punt.
I think he would have fitted in perfectly to our style of play

Have to completely agree. Out of all Wenger's new signings Oxlade-Chamberlain is the best.

totally agree. much better football brain when compared to theo walcott. will make great centre striker

he looked very good yesterday thats for sure.but then again so did walcott a few years back.i see they are already talking chamberlain up for the euros in the summer.

Funny though, that Wenger keeps signing young players and then actually USES THEM in the starting XI!

Would be great to see something like that happen in LFC for a change (at least when some senior players are on bad form and might as well be rested for a game or 2).

No we just sign them young and then let them rot in the reserves...

Totally agree. That's what annoys me most about signing youngsters and I really have lost interest because we know how youngsters end up at our academy.

Exactly!

Forrest Gump said: My momma always said, "Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get."

The same saying is valid for youngsters. Some develop early, some late, and yet some end their progression before reaching their potential level for any in a wide array of reasons.

One thing is for sure though, and that is you never know before you have tried! I say slot them in for a few minutes from time to time. It can't hurt to give them a go. They might surprise you and grow with the task!

Just look at Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain!

Why do we always seem to miss out on the really talented youngsters, I think we one of the firs clubs to look at him and were the initial favourites to sign him, and we didn't.

ox-chamberlain looks a real talent reminds me of a young rooney could e a star player in the future for the arse .

Your right, he is a lot like Rooney. He will be big for Arsenal.
