# Arsenal: Fans debate Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain

**Loads of Arsenal fans are debating Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain after a Twitter post from [AFTV](https://twitter.com/AFTVMedia/status/1242756360174886913) asked supporters if they were gutted about not seeing the best of him.**

‘The Ox’ made 198 appearances for the north London club in all competitions, scoring 20 goals and providing 32 assists, according to [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/alex-oxlade-chamberlain/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/143424/plus/0?saison=&verein=11&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=). He has since moved to Liverpool where he has played 78 matches in all competitions, scoring 12 goals and providing nine assists, as well as winning the Champions League, as per [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/alex-oxlade-chamberlain/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/143424/plus/0?saison=&verein=31&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=).

The former Gunners player interestingly has averaged more shots per game (SpG) than Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in European competition this season. The 26-year old averaged [2.6 SpG](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/84146/Show/Alex-Oxlade-Chamberlain) in the Champions League and ‘Auba’ 2.5 in the Europa League, as per [Whoscored](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/13/Show/England-Arsenal).

Considering Oxlade-Chamberlain plays in central midfield and Aubameyang up front, this is relatively impressive, not to mention the difference in difficulty between the two tournaments.

Nevertheless, the Englishman still sparked a debate between Gooners and it seems as if supporters are split over his departure, as one fan called the deal to sell him for [£35m](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/41098529) ‘unreal’ while another said he is ‘constantly injured’:

> Amazing price for a constantly injured, inconsistent player with a year on his contract
>
> He’s a talent no doubt though, just apart from a few good games now & again I can’t see him fulfilling it

> He’s a bang average midfielder who can have a class game 1 in 10. The fact we got 40mil for him is unreal.
