Oscar

[Joker10 946]

Dalglish like Mourinho are club legends for Pool and Chelsea respectively and have done so much for their clubs, of course they will get more leeway by supporters than compared to Hodgson and Scolari for example.

I can see that. To a point it is quite understanble, but it is no excuse to be completely blinded to the mans obvious faults.

I love Mou as much as the next Chelsea fan and i mean that, and i truely can not fathom any Chelsea fan who doesn't feel a special affection toward Jose. I mean what could be more said of his accomplishments for Chelsea? Some might be put off by his personality, for me it makes him even more endearing. But i would be a fool not to see his faults or be completely ignorant to them. I tend to try to understand his faults and accept it.

I don't personally believe my post was anyway anti-mou. I mean SAF had players that he couldn't take advantage off them and so did Pep and any other manager you went to mention.

So it's Mourinho's fault now ?

He gave Oscar all the trust in the world. You mention KDB and Mata but they're both nr 10's who were forced to play RW to accommodate Oscar.

Right from the start he said Oscar was his number 10. Mourinho gave him 2 years of first team football, where he was the undisputed nr 10, yet he hasn't progressed at all as a player.

Oscar was given every opportunity to succeed but didn't take it. The blame rests with him and him alone.

What Deco thinks/says really doesn't matter at all.

He probably will play better under another manager but that will have little to do with the manager and more to do with the weaker league and weaker club he'll be playing in.

This is some people problem, i don't believe in any way i said it is Mou fault. I do not see it as his fault or Oscar fault, some things do not work out.

When did Mata suddenly became just a #10. He played most of his Valencia career on the LW, First year under AVB he was playing on the LW, and under RDM he played on the RW while Oscar played in the middle. I would argue with anyone he played as good of football as he ever did when he was playing on the RW under RDM untill the infamous Clattenburg incident.

I am sure you quite aware of KDB and his talents, are we going to pretend like he isn't capable of playing on the RW? I know i have seen him start out wide many times for Bremen, Wolfsburg, and Belgium. I know i couldn't tell the difference in performance from wherever position he played.

Do i have to mention other players that have done well under other managers while underperforming under Mou? It isn't necessary but i will drop their names; Benzema and Angel Di Maria.

I swear, the fact that I keep clicking on this thread is just undeniable proof that I have a sadistic urge to keep torturing my self!

Indeed, it's like a drugs to me. It can't be helped.

This thread is the exact replica of Torres thread circa late 2011- 2013 before everyone came to the harsh realization.

THe best 2 seasons of Benzema in Madrid were while Mourinho was there.

In 2010/2011 Benzema played 2756 minutes and scored 26 goals.

In 2011/2012 Benzema played 3432 minutes and scored 32 goals.

For example last season Benzema, with no competition in the team (like this season), played 4052 minutes and scored 24 goals.

Almost the same thing for Di Maria... Many people, for some reason, think Di Maria started playing well for Madrid in the last season...

About Oscar he needs to take responsability for what he can't do.

i remember when i had said a similar thing during december or so and i got castrated.

[didierforever 7,349]

so now deco's comments should be taken as the word of god??

http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/liverpool-star-raheem-sterling-better-5471361owen says sterling is way better than ozil and its not even debatable. well, i guess that settles it for once and all does not it?

as far as LOLcar is concerned, he has to be sold. he can go to some mickey mouse competition like serie a and play from some mickey mouse team.

I really truly hope that Mou meant this: ''I don't think it was a bad performance (for his standards, cause his ceiling isn't that high, so it was just a normal Oscar performance). But I just think that he/it was not good enough (his level is just not good enough for us, I finally realize it), that's a huge difference (difference between not having the level for CFC and just having 1 bad performance).''

But I am afraid that this is just a trick of Mou to use the media to challenge/motivate his beloved Oscar, and we will stick with him forever.
Last season he said Oscar saved himself for the world cup but decided to stick with him, so I won't be surprised if Oscar just stays and keeps trolling us with his holiday performances.

Many will criticize me for saying this, but I would celebrate Oscar's departure like the way I did with Fernando's.

we would get a clear indication of what jose means to do with oscar by what we do in the summer. if we actually go after koke/pogba, it will be quite evident that jose wants oscar gone cos koke/pogba will be a sure starter and dropping cesc for oscar would be something that even an imbecile would not do. if we buy someone like schneiderlein, we can will know that we are SCREWED.

Oscar is a really nice lad who gives his best for the team at all times and does his level best to do as the managers asks. I think it's therefore a bit harsh to talk about celebrating when he leaves. We do need an upgrade but the lad deserves a little love. It's not his fault that he isn't good enough and it isn't his fault that Jose has to keep picking him.

i doubt it. if he was giving us his all, he wouldnot suddenly start play well for brazil (that too against the likes of france and chile) while unable to make a 5 yard pass for us. last year, towards the end, can you honestly say that he was giving us his all or doing his best. i can not.

[Parky 739]

I still don't understand how he was so hyped before we signed him. I remember reading the comments that he is a 'Brazilian wonderkid and has the vision and footballing brain to be the best #10 in the world.' I wonder what scouts were watching him cause I feel he is exactly opposite to that.

His has produced maybe 5 good goals and a handful of decent games for us. I personally dont feel he has the quality to be a top player ever. We need to do a Luiz on him..

I certainly feel he does yes. He's had good performances for us and poor ones for Brazil too don't forget. In any case we'd both agree that because you've played badly, it doesn't mean you haven't tried. I like the bloke, I just don't think he's good enough for Chelsea.

[chrismada9 1,948]

He just isn't good enough I'm afraid.. I'm not sure if that's either a seasonal thing, or if his overall form has just dropped over the course of this season.. but if I was Mourinho, I'd cash in on him for at least £40m in the summer. Only a club like PSG could afford a fee such as that.

It would count as a profitable move for us, and I reckon we could use the money to bring in someone like Paul Pogba.
