"Also Oxlade chamberlain to Liverpool seems a bit of overkill, wondering who he displaces in that midfield. Not a replacement for coutinho is he?"
It's a squad game and there are four competitions. AOC's metrics for chance creation passes are good, his pace is good and he can provide cover for the speed merchants up front in Mane and Salah as well cover for Wijnaldum in the middle and also do the wing back that Milner did. He is Milner's long term replacement. His injury record is a concern but then again you could make the point that is an Arsene/Arsenal problem. The fact he opted for a 1/3 pay drop from where he is and turned down the champions to goto Liverpool means something in this day and age. A little time working with Klopp and he'll surprise a few, I think.
