Oscar

Take it and run!!! 60M can get two better players.

Oscar has been heavily linked with a move away from the club and his future was discussed

'The situation of Oscar will be clear in the next days. I prefer to stop talking! Oscar started the season very well with us when we played 4-3-3. When I switched to another formation he didn’t play a lot but I always count on him because he is a really good young player. Sometimes there are situations that are very difficult to face, but his situation will be clearer in the next days.'

Correct me if I'm wrong did Oscar not turn down a move to China last season?? I have a bad feeling Oscar is going to stay

From Conte this afternoon it sounds like it's a matter of when he goes rather than if he goes.

I doubt we will just let go if player without bringing someone in...and in january doing such business...meh I just hope we dont end up paying odd 30m pounds for some unknown stop gap like that guy from Genoa. 

60m would be alot of money and we should rather throw another 10-20m on it to get top player rather than two 30m ones who wont be good enough for first team, yet very expensive.

I can see Conte keeping Oscar till summer if parties somehow agree to pay same money in july.

I fully expect that the moment the club knew of the interest and the amount that the search had begun. January is a difficult window due to a lot of players hard to get but yes I think we must be looking at getting someone in.

Well we can always get Giacherini on loan from Napoli after his performances at Euros

When people were saying he could be good for us back in summer haha

That said, seeing how Conte coaches, he would probably turn Marin into German Messi.

On the subject of Oscar, Conte says we have to wait to see what happens regarding his future. #CFC

Conte says he does not want to talk about potential replacements for Oscar if he does go, as it is disrespectful to other clubs. #CFC

not for this amount of money.

60m and 3rd highest wages in the world for the terrible player people here claim he is - sounds like a done deal.

Although I do think he is a good player, he has indeed stagnated and has not been developing the way I (and I assume the club) expected. So, if the numbers are correct, he needs to go... good for the club and excellent for him.

Concerning replacements, we do not need a world class replacement, after all Oscar was a "terrible player," so anyone would do. Just don't go for big names, and grab a promising player at a fair price.

Regardless of Oscar's failure to deliver, the idea - of investing in promising young players - is sound as there is really no other alternative. Once a player is considered world class, he immediately becomes extremely hard to sign, not to mention expensive.

He is a club legend in my eyes now. 60m ! Hopefully we make good use of him and bring in an established star rather than unproven players.

[Leif 6,006]

I obviously intoxicate myself far too often now; I thought he was part of our CL winning squad, and was thinking who cares if he moves to China, he's won it all!

But regardless, anyone from Brazil has a very different mindset compared to the rest of the footballing world, in a good way, and I'm sure they find genuine pleasure playing in China, unlike the other imports they've had like Drogba & Anelka.

Oscar has said goodbye ahead of Shanghai SIPG move - Willian

Can't believe this is really happening. Conte isn't making it a secret either. We used to joke about this scenario, a lucrative transfer to China. I use the word "joke" because none of us ever really believed it will happen, but there you go - 60 million for Oscar like lightning out of a clear sky. 

[Fernando 6,456]

Yeah I'm happy that's good money for someone we wanted to sell. 

Now lets either get a good upgrade or if we can't because it's January then a young prospect is okay for now....

Enough of feeding the loan army and no need to buy for the sake of buying, with this money we can buy genuine ready-made quality if not in January, then in summer for sure.

The problem getting this money will bring is teams will know it's there.

Speaking totally hypothetically if Hazard put his foot down and said he wants Madrid and only Madrid and they just got £120m for Casemeiro we would want more than that.
