Apologies to Saint, but we need a full explanation from Greez as to why he is so angry at Salah, I am tempted to tell him to keep his hair on, but I might be a few years to late with that.

Not angry, just don't think he's that great. He's doing a job for us atm, plus whilst we're creating **** loads of chances he's getting the odd tap in as a bonus. He's a modern day Jermaine Pennant!
 
Ever wondered what happens to the rest of the animal, I have had ox tail, ox heart, ox liver and ox tongue but can't remember ever seeing ox steaks or ox chops on a menu.
The meat is too tough, you can eat it though. A bit like a cockerel, you can eat it but it's not great.

It seems a strange transfer from Liverpool if your buying Oxlaide Chamberlin to play as a central midfield player.

Yeah he's a decent player, but his best attributes like his pace, power and energy are suited to playing wide, and his weaknesses as a player like his lack of composure in possession, and his inability to dictate play in the way a top central midfield player can, make it a strange transfer for me.

Conte wanted him as a wing back, a good position for him, but roumer has it he's going to Liverpool because he's been promised a position in the middle of midfield.

Liverpool don't even play with wing backs, and I can't see him playing as a right winger ahead of Salah or Mane, so he must be buying him to play centrally. I can't really understand Klopps thinking with this transfer.

Agreed, strange.

He's a shocking Wing Back.

He's a Winger or ACM.

If he's going to be a CM its not going to be a Kante or even Can type. He's more like Lallana, a link between the midfield and the attack.

I see him as direct competition for Lallana
 
People saying he won't get in ahead of Mane or Salah are being very short sighted.

It's a squad game. We won't play with two out and out wingers every game. Hell, we've already rotated the two in question in our opening five games!

In response to...

his best attributes like his pace, power and energy are suited to playing wide

...maybe the two wingers I've mentioned above are fast so why would we need that pace out wide?

Firmino isn't the quickest so if Oxlade plays behind the front three he offers pace down the middle. Our attack doesn't stick to positions.

I think he'll prove to be a great signing.

What I really like atm is the possibility of options, something we've rarely had over the last 15-20yrs or so...
