• Gifted midfielder set to leave Sport Club Internacional

• Tottenham lose interest, leaving the field clear

Now the Guardian are reporting it.

They're reporting £25 million but as Eviltwinz said i think it's the media shit stirring.

Also, No excuses for Nando now.

There has been no excuses for him for a year now, people will quote lack of service but Juan Mata was behind him, as far as service goes that's like sleeping with Cheryl Cole with her doing all the work.

pivots:lamps mikel oscar romeu mierles

attacking 3: hazard mata marin rambo kdb.

when u look at that nobody can complain, nobody, went from bulldozing to technique in instant flash. its just a rw was MY preference, but u cant fault what that team looks like on 'paper' just need time to gel!

I agree with the above, but i think you should wait... im still sure Hulk will leave Porto, and i dont think he has another possible destination but us.

@CarloFan: Guardian say a £38m fee has been agreed in principle between #FCP and #CFC for Hulk but there are complications over his 3rd party ownership

@carlofan is a great twitter feed

Everyone follow him!

Wrong thread mate.

yh but kills any chances we go for him. we're not gona spend that much money, even though won UCL, i'd prefer a winger and leave double pivots to lamps, mikel, romeu mierles, and kdb but with this kid our attacking three has lost whatever physicality they were trying to creat in signing a hulk/jovetic.

im not against oscar the signing, but the idea of neglecting rw is something to be noted. maybe kdb can play there (attacking 3) but i'd rather have had that rw and no new cm. than new cm and no rw. i can be wrong, maybe we buy a winger--but nowhere near the hulk level.

RDM/board/roman have plan and its nice seeing them execute it.

pivots:lamps mikel oscar romeu mierles

Pivot, Romeu...it looks like Barcelona is wanting him back now.

Meireles...please!

Lampard, old and can't be relied for too long. He needs an understudy like A. Cole will be doing for Ryan.

Mikel, yes!

Attacking 3 looks good. Most top teams have a replacement for each position. Does not look bad.

And that's giving the fact that all those players fulfill their potential like KDB and Marin.....Cause if not we are getting another Kalou, Malouda type of player in them!

Not true. Look at how few goals Drogba scored this year. I watched nearly every game last season - there was a clear lack of service.

Anyway back to Oscar! £25mil is a hell of a lot for a player who's young and never played in europe. I'd be glad to have another creative/technical player but it's definitely risky business.

At the bottom of the article the guardian also says:

A £38m fee has been agreed in principle between the clubs but there are complications related to Hulk's third party ownership, and over who will pay the monies owing to his investors.

?????

Drogba was in his twilight years, Torres is suppose to be at his peak.

and sorry for going off topic, back to Oscar he will be a fantastic signing, from what ive seen can easily be moulded into that deep lying playmaker we have been craving and lets not forget the re-sale value.

I will smile whole week if we sign Hulk and Oscar before 26 of july (my bday, but also start of olympic games).

We will try to get Hulk till very end I guess.

i havnt heard anythin from barca, so we can stil use romeu.

lamps wont have that many games with new signing oscar who can play 2games week for longer time than lamps. thats after givin his time to adjust.

u critized all the pivots so who u got playin there then? i was simply statin who our pivots will be: we bought oscar, have lamps, mikel romeu and mierles. also why criticize mierles? he did great job for portugal in euros and ended season on the high, took while for him to show worth but did in the end.

attacking 3: i agree not at full force, (i stated that in OP) and yes, we need kdb and marin to really stand out. which is why a rw was my IDEAL choice, but hulk is out of window now if/when oscar arrives. i was hesitant to suggest idea of still buyin a rw cuz that means rambo is left in limbo as he is down the pecking order in midfield and on wings. which shouldnt happen, deserves wayy more.

also we rarely have had 22 players goin strong, or should i say were lucky to have squad players. always had likes of jt, cole, drogs, lamps, anelka 2game a week, runnin their legs into the ground. and in todays market finding squad players is hard, not to mention FFP makes it harder.

which is what a new rw would have to accept or force rambo out of favor. becuz if we had signed rw and no cm, rambo is one less winger we really had to 'worry' bout gettin games cuz he would be in midfield. but now he has to get games on wing with the new cm.

thats me reasoning.

Who the heck is Oscar, what position does he play... Type of player etc.

[Henrique 9,133]

So what will be our starting 11 be then?

Oscar wont be a starting 11. He is not ready yet, will start some games, but he is not ready yet to be called a starting XXi, if you get what I mean.
