    Sky have confirmed that Chelsea and Arsenal have agreed a fee for Oxlade Chamberlain, approximately £35m.

    Over to Jimmy for more.

    Probably a January panic buy when we're in the shit. Will be some absolute wank as well if Oxlade-Chamberlain is going for £35m.

    The lad has one year left on his contract, too. Liverpool flogged a similarly aged Michael Owen for £8m in the same circumstances, albeit in 2004.

    The 22-year-old had been one of Jurgen Klopp's primary targets this summer, but Leipzig had refused to sell.
    The deal will surpass the £35m paid to Newcastle for Andy Carroll in 2011.
    Until it's confirmed by either Liverpool or RBL, I'll stick with Salah for now. Either way, it's not Carroll, you massive pleb.

    Either way, I hadn't heard of Keita until June and have never seen him play. However, I've just watched a three minute highlights package and he's clearly the best midfielder in Europe. Next year but one it's Our Year™.

    Victor Moses and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain as your first choice right wing back. Offft.

    He'd do a job in the Willian role, that's about it. Apparently they're after Drinkwater and Llorente too. Christ.

    Why not just buy him next year instead of adding this 'undisclosed premium'?

    Presumably because other clubs would wade in next year and complicate it. To be fair, I do think it's sensible. For the sake of a few million quid (presumably), they've managed to secure their top target and can worry about what thoroughly underwhelming defensive options they can squander tens of millions on instead.

    I think Ox is pretty good. But the clips they picked out on Match of the Day 2 last night were pretty shocking.

    The fee for Chambermaid

    I think it's smart business for Keita, he looks like a handy player and for a few million more or so, to secure him now is good.

    What's his % of successfully completed passes per 5 minutes of active game time divided by assists at home per half hour of Autumnul game time? Can't be including winter pitches.

    Oxlade-Chamberlain will be good at Chelsea, and the move weakens Arsenal's already laughably shit squad. I'm looking forward to the hilarious panic buys over the next few days.

    Some German rag has it around €20m more.

    But then, next summer £70m will be this year's Jonny Evans fee.

    What was the top bid for this season?

    20 is a high premium but you get your number 1 target ahead of the bigger clubs.

    The lad is better of getting out now. Every chance he could still be a proper player with the right manager.

    What's he doing to play at Chelsea? 10 games a season?

    That said, I presume the reimbursement is ample enough.

    Siem De Jong's off to Ajax. Godspeed, lad. Also, some "Shut up and get on with his job." quote that's been attributed to Rafa with regards to his position. I think he's off as soon as a job comes up.

    West Ham want him. Given they're able to bid £40m on a single player and they already signed two players he was after this Summer, I could see it happen.

    Rafa is a top, top manager, but he's really wasting his time up there. It'll be a real shame if he does leave, because it'll be entirely Ashley's own fault.

    I go to work and it all happens.

    We've had two bids for Lemar (£55m, £64m) rejected. I had no idea we were even interested until yesterday.

    Looks also like random twitter rumour came off for once. Good to see us get Keita. Our top bid for him was about £70m, so we got him a little cheaper in the long run, but it's a shame we have to wait a season for him.

    And presumably if he does shit up there, it'll be all Ashley's fault and nothing to do with Benitez?

    Sanchez can kick a football though. I've got the out already for the Wellbeck air shot into Sterling mishit bouncing in off Wes Morgans fat arse.

    I'm fine with it tbh, though I'd rather he went somewhere else. If we could then get Ozil out and bring in Isco, I'd be happy.

    I've just realised that we've been a more successful team than Man City since he signed for them. You forget how massively they've underachieved the last 3 years.

    No, but there's clearly an issue with investment in the playing squad and Rafa has a track record that shows he's more likely to do well than not if you back him.

    When was the last time a player + cash deal actually happened? Zlatan for Eto'o?

    Surefire bullshit indicator I think.
