Chelsea?

He'll end up at arsenal or Liverpool. Maybe man u if lvg decides to leave them.

Our squad would be real Madrid level with a guy like this. But 5/11 (6/11) if u count Matic of first team begin new signings just seems wrong.

I want him, but it might be too much. We might end up over doing it.

No service!

I can't remember the last time this forum was in this good of a mood. its weird

hahahaha. I can see him with a stone face througout the water hitting him, then smiling an evil smile at the end

23 year old striker. Spurs were supposedly interested

I'd stick with him just because his potential is higher than anyone else in the #10 position. Oscar on form along with the rest of squad will actually allow us to compete for the CL. Watch him have a good game Saturday and ppl start acting like I he'd been playing like that all along.

we actually started the exact same way last year. We'd get an early lead and shut it down throughout the 2nd half. That came back and bit us last year. hope it's different this year

I'd go with Ivan-Cahill-Terry-Luis Matic-Fab Schurrler-Oscar-Eden Costa I'v been REALLY critical of Oscar lately, but Oscar on form will just make us unplayable. We need to do everything we can to get him there

If you're focusing on the positives of his performance that's completely fair. But my point is that if that's as good as its gonna get with Oscar, then he won't be here for too long

ramires or any Dm could have done that too. and the Iniest's of the world would have probably completed hat pass anyway. People here are simply praising his work rate. Yes oscar on form is top 5 in overall productivity, but when all he does is defend and pass the ball backwards, he's not deserving of the starting 11 spot. I can't believe people won't even admit he's on bad form. I heard similar arguments for Torres his first year, when a player is underperforming ppl start praising his workrate

I understand your point. But if his only argument for playing in the starting 11 is because he compliments Fabregas well, then he probably won't last.

because he's playing like a DM when he should be playing like a 10 or atleast an 8. I understand he's contributes to us defensively but if we just stuck a DM in his position we'd be better off. Don't make it seem like he was the reason we ticked yesterday. He did almost nothing yesterday.

but wouldn't ramires be the better option in the #10 if that's what we expect from that position?

Idk why ppl say this. He's been really poor and being criticized for it. We have higher standards for Eden hazard but we still praised him for his performance yesterday even though he didn't set the world on fire.

He hasn't been good enough lately, regardless of his age

because we watch him play every day

Good to have another goal scorer in the line up. Everyone else in our 4231 is a pass first type of guy except Costa

consistency isn;t even his problem anymore, he just needs to have a good game so we can remember what it's like.

lol, wasn't expecting a subtle responds. had my sword and shield out. In all seriousness i don't really know much about GK's to know which player is better. I just want to see Courtois get the spot because I don't want to lose him. But letting Petr go would be the first of the old guard I'll be sad to see leaving. (maybe cole and essien too)

Every other post in this thread is calling people out for thinking this will be an easy win. I'll dare anyone here to find 5 posts saying this match will be easy. We get it; they will be pumped and up for this game but we will be too. We have super high hopes this year and this is a game we simply should be winning. I predict a 2-0 win.

yea, they're people out there that rate Courtois more than Petr. Sorry you had to find out this way.

if we start petr over courtois, we risk losing him permanently. not only is the difference between chec and courtois not worth losing courtois; many would argue courtois is better than chec and is the 2nd best gk in the world

you know that's not why people are complaining about him.
