Oxlade-Chamberlain has turned down an improved £180k pw contract at Arsenal to join Liverpool on a £120k pw contract. IT goes to show that money really isn't everything to players, contrary to popular belief.

Let's be realistic, neither team is going to win the Premier League or Champions League any time soon, so he isn't even jumping ship to win more titles. That leaves only two motives:

1) Ox really believes he'll get to play CM regularly for Liverpool and made a purely footballing decision.
2) Arsenal is in even more of a mess behind the scenes than is being portrayed in the media.

I reckon 1 and 2.

Okay so here's a question which I don't want to put in the ITK thread for fear of A&C justice.

Does BT Sport have an equivalent of Sky Sports News for deadline day? Much as I hate Jim White, it is comedy to watch it all going down with him and his yellow tie.
I'm intrigued also

Doesn't look like it.

I think BBC have done something similar before though, either online or the red button or something, and probably only towards the end of the evening.

Says a lot about Arsenal if a player who isn't one of your stars is turning down £180k a week and accepting less with a rival.

Never rated Oxlade one bit, he's never really performed all that well, another fraud just like Walcott

I'd be ecstatic if we sold a player like him for 40m, I feel we could have got more for Walker now.

Not a great signing by Liverpool, but they're assembling a great team

Saw this headline in the Indo:

Fabian Delph turns down Stoke move to fight for Manchester City spot

Made me guffaw. Fight for his spot? More like pad his bank account. Hard to fault him too much for not wanting to join Stoke though tbf...

No new keeper, no centre half yet, a decent cheap left back from hull, an average player like AOC. The signing of Salah is impressive,but I can't see why they haven't got more stick for this window. Their defence was and still is pathetic.
