Oscar hasn't done much to be a 35 mil. player. Watching him regularly and closely will prove that. A player with far less vision, as tiped. A player able to stagnate some attacks not being able to dribble past his opponent or initiate a good one - two pass. I'm not saying he isn't good. He is. Just not for Chelsea. I don't see many sides where Oscar would slide in, that are world class. Tell me, are there any? Arda/James/Rakitic/Gotze/Pastore(Lucas, depending on how PSG line up). I dare even to say that Kagawa and Mkhitariyan are twice the versatile and active players compared to Oscar. Shpping Oscar away for anything bigger than the suppose 18.3 mil. we dished for him in the first place, is a steal, and if we are to, in the process, lower the expected fee for Koke, than that is and will be considered fantastic business.

Anything bigger than 35 mil. is shambles.

Aha. I remember something like this in the Costa deal. Interesting then. We'll see. My guess is he'd probably end up at Real.

Considering there is a clause. Not much they can do, right? If he wants to go, the clause is a factor. I'd think that Spanish players often like to stay in Spain. A part from a few players ( Silva, Mata, etc.) that want to jump to other teams, so if it's a direct battle, I don't expect Chelsea to come out on top.

Dream scenario. Ship off Oscar for 20 - 25 mil. and get Koke for 44 or Pogba for 55. Tears of joy, will come to my eyes.

As I said in the Andre Gomes thread: I have no clue about Valencia players. Far as I'm concerned, he's the best young LB on FM 2015. Anybody able to give pros and cons? 13 mil. would be a steal, especially if he wants to join.

Let's remember we have Cuadrado. So Sterling should come, only if we are to ship Oscar or Willian. Don't want another KDB fiasco. Or he can come, but I don't exactly see Jose dropping two straight starters and giving Hazard a free role so that we can play something like a Sterling-Hazard-Cuadrado/Willian thing. I'd love him here to be fair, think he stands out from the typical English boring idiocracy(in terms of play, that is), along with Chamberlain, Kane and Barkley. He doesn't have the brighest vision for a pass, but as Special Juan said, his directness is really something. Given that, he is little, cunning and a talented player. Nobody can tell me, he is THAT overrated. Yes, Liverpool fans were ahead of themselves saying he is better than Bale(when at Tottenham), but don't they always do that? It will be an interesting summer. And considering we have to fill a HG quota, I don't think Rob Green will be the only English player we are about to sign. Walcott/Sterling/Clyne/Bale, even James Milner is an option, if we need a back-up all rounder.

You think Azpi will move to RB? Doubt it, considering we have him and Luiz, and Brana is still a starter, despite being so dire?

Won't surprise me. We need players to be HG. And he is a good option, if we are to ship Oscar/Willian and sign Pogba/Koke or whoever.

Cheeky bid for Carvajal anyone?

I'd be all for that. Especially if we hand Juventus a 15-20 million Oscar. Dream come true to get KDB for only 30.

CM/AMC? Can someone shed some light on him, never seen one bit, to be fair.

Seen some news , Juventus making him their main target. Cash + him for Pogba. Only him and a proper number 10? I don't care much.

People take gambles. Nobody was/is denying his quality. But as we so easily see, Mourinho favours hard - workers on the training ground and pitch. Oscar was deliviring on both at that time. He took a gamble on Oscar, rather than KDB. 2 years later, when nobody back then knew what would happen, we all would take the swap. But back then, I don't remember people that didn't want the three times offer, for which we sold him? I don't remember people moaning about it. Nobody was expecting it. Prime examples of risks are Lukaku and De Bruyne. Both were huge hits on their loan deals. Got back, didn't impress, moaned for a starting spot. As a manager, you have to keep the dressing room together. Make them a unit, rather than split them as individuals, and Jose knows that perfectly well. Hence why, he gambled on Oscar. Let me get back to Lukaku and KDB, doe. Both decided, it was better to be a star in a "smaller" team, rather than prove they are world class at Chelsea. And while one is impressing, the other isnt. It would have been the same situation if Lukaku had 19 goals, and there would have been posts like: He would have banged twice the amount here, why did we have to buy Costa. Fact is, nobody can forsee what will happen. He may very well go to Bayern and be the next forecoming of Christ, or just be challenged by the vass amount of talent, moan again, and go back to VFW. You never know. And that is the beauty and shit of football, at the same damn time. Get over it. United have done same things with Pogba, Real with so many players, Barca with Fabregas and others. It was a gamble. It may work, it may not. In the first part of the season, it did, now it doesn't. You forget we are Chelsea fans first, and individuality fans second.

Might sound crazy, as I am not picky, about developing youngsters, if we are succesful, but if we don't buy Pogba, why do we need to sign a Matic back-up? RLC and Ake deserve a chance. They aren't that bad, to not even be back ups. RLC can do Mikel's job and more in my opinion.

Sometimes I wonder do people act like girls normally, or moaning is common. No one is bigger than Chelsea. If we win trophies, it doesn't matter. Don't get mr wrong, I want RLC to succeed, but the moaning is so annoying. Not Chelsea fans, more like management haters.

How many times did he charged into an opponent, only to fall, begging for a foul. Not saying he isn't a great player, I'd take him in a heartbeat, but I think that the injury and non-stop goals/asissts burned him out a bit for the second part of the season.

I just hope Obi Mikel moves on, along with Oscar, so RLC and Ake still get a chance. Especially Ruben, looks too much of a good athelete. I'd love Pogba here though. I got a mate from Juve, who is doubting this, because he feels, he is the typical PSG and Real signing. Says they'll let him go for 80 milion.

Uhm, read we are into him? Along with United?

As said, A cunt of the highest order, but the cunt I'd have on my team, rather than against. I wouldn't pick ANY other striker above him in this team, a part from Aguero(and that's a 50/50 considering his injury-proness) and Lewandowski.

I really want to see, If he'd be given a chance, if he decides to come back. For me, he didn't impress, but I am guessing the run of games got him in a form. We've got him and Bertrand Traore as promising youngsters on the right wing. I'd be really hoping to see one of them. If we, and I sincerely hope, manage to get rid of Oscar or even Willian(who I like more than Oscar), space would be made.

I think support here , considering the fickleness of most forum members is a harsh word. Not understandable. As I've said it, in Costa's thread, in Matic's..people that don't set foot on a pitch half the size of Stamford Bridge, are able to give their opinion on how shit Cuadrado/Costa/Matic/Willian are, when in all fairness, the first mentioned, hasn't started in the last 4 games(if i am not mistaken). Any knowing person, who has played for amateur/professional sides, no matter where, knows just how much match practice is crucial to a player. If you are in a rhythm, and that rhythm stops, it's hard to get it back..He's settling into new life, new language, new level of football and in need of building up fitness levels and physique. Given all that, me, you, and people who understand it are staying behind him, like "we" probably did with Salah/De Bruyne/Oscar.

Banned for two matches?

To anybody slatin Cuadrado, because he hasn't played , throw yourselves of a cliff, because this fraud missed the two chances that could have edged the game for us. Beyond dire, I haven't the words to describe it. I personally do not wish him to ever start a game. And since Florent Malouda's non-passing to Torres idiocracy I haven't ever said something like this. Oscar, you are a cunt, get the hell away from this football club.

Cuadrado hasnt played in 3 matches. Keep your testicals.
