Blue Armour 4,439 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Do not underestimate KDB, he is going to be a class player for us. Mark my words!True. Ever since his signing with Chelsea became official, DeBruyne has been averaging nearly an assist every game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea? 892 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Do not underestimate KDB, he is going to be a class player for us. Mark my words!KDB is might not be developed as a #10 though. But I always root for players that want to be here and kdb wanted to be here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieran. 6,317 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Quit crying about the price. If he doesn't succeed, we sell him for 15-20m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peace. 4,352 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Manchester United got Kagawa who has been a dominant force for the best team in Germany for a year and a half for a lot less money. Ozil went for half the price.Ozil and Kagawa were on the last year of their contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mediator 2,026 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 IF oscar comes, which i don't want to be overconfident about seeing how this is a bit like a yoyo, i am reasonably confident he will be brought in to be a starter, and theres no resemblence between lukaku and Oscar... Lukaku doesn't start that much for belgium yet Oscar starts for brazil, that pretty much says it all doesn't it?JokeBefore he came to Chelsea to rot on the bench, Lukaku was a starter...

The Big Drog 1,110 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Ridiculous amount of money for an unproven midfielder.25M for a midfielder should get you a young, proven, excellent player and Oscar is far from that. Chelsea bought Juan Mata, who had had 3 years of success in Spain, for less money. City got Silva , excellent in Spain, for less money. Manchester United got Kagawa who has been a dominant force for the best team in Germany for a year and a half for a lot less money. Ozil went for half the price. In fact, Oscar now becomes one of the highest priced midfielders in history. Hopefully Oscar develops well and makes himself worth it, but this is an enormous and needless gamble. Oscar has to become one of the best players in the Premier League for this to even be decent value.Brazilian wonderkid, 20 years old, a phenomenal talent. Of course he will cost big money but he is worth every penny, I can't believe this seems like its going to happen, the club is on the verge of signing one of the brightest young talents in world football, a smile wouldn't hurt.

Hutcho 8,443 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 JokeBefore he came to Chelsea to rot on the bench, Lukaku was a starter...So what i said was an observation which was correct so i don't get you are disgreeing with me on. I would start Lukaku for belgium, simply stating that he doesn't and no offence but the brazil team is better than the belgium team...

Santiago. 1,500 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 As if the money is actually coming out of 'your' pocket and you complain about better options. Name them then, that are cheaper and have the same potential or more than this kid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhanaBoy 104 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Actually Oscar reminds me of Fabragas when he was at Arsenal. His upright strance, vision , workrate, and playmaking skills are invaluable.As we can see our current midfield cannot keep possesion unlike previous seasons gone by. But in this case with Oscar a midfield three of Mikel, Lampard, and Oscar resembles 09/10. when our midfield Consisted of Mikel, Lampard, and (Deco/ Ballack)= Oscar.Interms of KDB he is a Lampard replacement in the long run as i see him and Mceachran as CM's ( Even thogh he can play in the 3 " 4-2-3-1"). Our game has changed since we can no longer rely on Drogba. Let me give you a hypothetical means of our play next season, as i believe it would resemble that of Spain's ( continous circlelation of man and ball and costant possesion the EPL has never seen before): Torres/ Hazard ( our iniesta), Oscar ( our Fabragas/ orzil), and Mata ( our silva).

The Big Drog 1,110 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Oliver Torres.Very impressive during the under 19 tournament but hasnt established himself in the Athletico first team or earned a senior Spanish cap yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TorontoChelsea 4,064 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Ozil and Kagawa were on the last year of their contract.It's true, and that effects value a fair bit, but it doesn't cut it in half. Ozil went for 15M Euros. If he had another year or two left on his contract, maybe he would have gone for 20M Euros or so, maybe even more. The point is that he still would have cost a lot less than Oscar despite a much better pedigree. The issue with Oscar is not that we are paying a little too much, it's that we are paying probably 10M pounds more what a player of his experience should go for. Yes, he's a wunderkind, he's very talented, etc...but there are a lot of players like that out there. He could become an incredible player, but he could also become the next Anderson. There's simply no reason to be paying such an exorbitant fee for such an unproven player (and at a position where we didn't need anyone). 25M for a midfielder should be an elite, proven, young player, not a prospect.

YouNameIt 1,511 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Who cares about how much we spent on him? You wont care about 5-10m this or that way when you see him deliver in a Chelsea shirt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henrique 9,133 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 25m for another youngster is not exactly what I was hoping for especially that he plays in a position we are overstacked with. I feel the club is taking too much expensive risks in the market.Last season the talk was: we lack creativity.Now suddenly Oscar, a creative midfilder, plays in a position that we are overstacked with.Its seems that the UCL trophy made some people forget how poor we were in most part of the season.
