Zola kinda blue 89 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Is this a fresh bid? Or a re-hash of yesterdays news? Didnt Oscar say he didnt want to move for 2 years?Confused now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Exactly, why would he go to a Joke of a club like Spurs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superblue 6,372 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I would love us to buy Hulk but we could theoretically buy Oscar, Walcott/Moses and Maicon for about the same price as Hulk which does make much more sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Skipper 20,609 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 also i don't mean to sound like racist but it's just a strange observation. it seems as if white brazilians have more creativity then black brazilians (who are better dribblers and better sprinters)..anyone else notice that?Ronaldinho's white?!

The Skipper 20,609 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 £16m for Oscar would be a great piece of business, great alternative to Hulk. Moses/Schurrle, Oscar and Maicon and perhaps Modric and we'd be set for a couple of seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moses/Schurrle, Oscar and Maicon and perhaps Modric and we'd be set for a couple of seasons.I can't see us getting Schurrle in this transfer window and i would rather see Oscar, Moses and Cesar Azpilicueta come in. That along with Hazard, Marin and KDB being brought back from his loan spell would see us going into this coming season in excellent shape. Just hope RDM know's how to get all these lad's playing well together in a more attacking style! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Skipper 20,609 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 After some quick research, I don't think Oscar would be particularly good on the right. He seems more Iniesta like than anything, he can probably play on the right but he'd be ineffective. Maybe he's being thought of as a Modric alternative, I think he'd be good in the pivot with someone like Mikel. Maybe that's why Spurs want him too. It would be funny if they lost Modric and then lost his replacement too. At Internacional I'd imagine D'Alessandro plays in the hole and Oscar plays deeper. This video below shows that he likes to drop deep and be involved in build up play... I don't think he'd be that effective on the right. Not an alternative to Hulk, more of an alternative to Modric IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLyon 9,359 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 First why do we need him? Just to be backup? 16mio for a player who can only play in Mata/Hazard position. Unless we go 4:3:3;------Mikel---------Oscar-Lampard---Hazard-Torres-MataHe is not winger or CM, but only creative CAM with possible ego. I would welcome any signing, but I realy think first we need winger, then CM with defensive abilities, then RB, then striker and then another creative CAM. And to mention he is not exactly strong player and physicaly loses ball often when bigger player comes around him, he has 179cm and 66kg.

However from what I have heard he is more effective closer to goal. I don't think he'd be great in the Pivot role myself. He'd be wasted there. His talents are better suited to play somewhere near/behind the striker.Perhaps we could lineup like this?-------------Torres---------------Mata----Oscar----Hazard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Width would have to come from our fullbacks ala under Scolari, and I think that's way too limiting, even if we did have someone like Maicon and Cole bombing down the wings. It's too one dimensional.

It's too one dimensional.Yes but Mata and Hazard can always drift out wide and seeing as they would be playing the Left and Right wing respectively they wouldn't be inverted wingers. So they could stretch the defence and put in crosses. They could also switch places with each other and whoever is on the wings would drift out wide. Everyone would have their fair share of time in the middle behind Torres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duppy Conqueror 1,534 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 haven`t seen a wide body of his work but what i saw the kid looked like "he got it" to me.unfortunately he`s at Dortmund now...ON MY FIFA 12! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he'd be that effective on the right. Not an alternative to Hulk, more of an alternative to Modric IMO.I remember watching this game and he played very well. Brazil played 4-3-3 on the night, so he's indeed capable of playing deeper.Not sure he'd be great in a 2 man midfield though, 4-3-2-1 or 4-3-3 would suit him better i feel.

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Is he good in defensive actions (intercepting, tackling, marking)? At least comparable to Modric? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmarlow 458 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 i think the best way to play all three is to just let them all drift and roam around behind Torres as they please, with none of them actually having a fixed position as such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
