Oscar

[Santiago. 1,500]

Liking this, but probably replace Romeu with Mikel and Ramires drops back a little bit.

Almost the same lineup as the expert "brasileiro"'s which he reckons it's "scary!"

Mikel is absolutely a liability in the 'solo' role and is beneficial with another defensive midfielder. Romeu is the best option we have at this club and maybe top 5 or 6 in the Premier League, from a Barca B perspective.

I believe he truly will become the Central midfielder we've been looking for if we operate the 4 3 3.

Out of every aspic with this Club, i will defend this lineup and formation as our best available option.

finally including rambo, many people dimiss him as if his work is no longer needed. yep agree with above only mikel in for romeu, and i still believe oscar should move rw and hazard lw (so he can cut inside) and mata cm. maybe u know more than i in what oscar can do but i have heard he can hold own on rw, but if not i dont see problem cuz we all know they will be switchin like crazy. almost reminds me of our old midfield'4' (back with ruud) in 442. great things are destined to come!!

[Santiago. 1,500]

Mate, and to everyone on the forum, Mata is best at LW from my years of watching him. His free flowing movement is what's key.

[Dylan_91 90]

Mata doesnt get the ball enough on the left, however we relied on him too much last year because we didnt have anymore creative players so i think we'll be able to play him on the left next season

[Kisho 33]

Mata lw, Oscar cam, hazard Rw. All have played these positions with success

[Rahul Haque 57]

so many different variations and formations we can play with what's available to us next season. we can switch to a more continental 4 3 3 with romeu, oscar and lamps playing a creative three.

a 4 2 3 1 with lamps playing a withdrawn role or indeed mereiles playing a tactical withdrawn role, with mikel as the deeper holder. and the three of oscar, mata and hazard rotating all over the place with options of quality on the bench that can change games- marin, bruyne, ramires all have their elements of pace and skill. exciting times. the only concern is how small they are. it's a stupid thing to say but the stereo type of 'wet tuesday nights at stoke' does concern me because as technically gifted as they all are, they can be found out.

[TacticalBlues 2,817]

I'm drooling at our the prospect of signing him. He is one of the elite talents.The main reason we've not seen the big boys show interest until now is because of a bizarre situation where he walked out of Sao Paulo for a wage dispute and Internacional took him. A suit began over ownership so an opportunity to sign the boy only just became possible. ( I mean literally just now)

The way we can rotate on the field with him and Mata is so exciting. Oscar would take the central attacking position but he does 9/10 times, move to the left side of midfield (for Internacional). Also, mark my words about the apparent fragility issue, from the times I have seen him for Internacional and Brazil he does seem to hold himself up well against the opposition. He won't be shoved aside as easily as Mata. I'll never forget his 3rd goal in the U20 final, some called it luck but most had to agree that it was an outrageous goal.

The potential is there and I hope we get this finalised ASAP. The only complication is that he is owned 50% by Internacional and 50% by himself and his agents. So that could perhaps clarify the lack of formal completion on Internacional's side.

No Hazard played LW and after Cam at Lille, never RW

[Ryan Fong 2,776]

Simply Mata, Oscar and Hazard can interchange whatever they want, would be a nightmare to defenders.

[Chelsea? 892]

I doubt Eden will play on the right. If we sign Oscar we ahouldnt be worried about puting him in the first 11 right of the bat. We should probably play the diamond next year though.

-------FT9

Mata--------Rw/Oscar

------Eden H

Mikel--------Ramirez/Frank

You always want your most skilled player at CAM. Almost every player's best position is CAM, so I suggest we give that to Hazard since according to most, he's our most skilled. We aren't gonna play with too much width but it might work.

The problem with that line up is that we would be weak physically. Barca are the only guys that win ith small players, we need to bring on hulk if its possible.

-------FT9

Mata--------Hulk

------Eden H

Mikel--------Ramirez/Frank

We play enough games to make Oscar a well used sub. But that might mean sending kdb and josh out on loan

[Chelsea? 892]

Interchange will not last for long I think. But if we play with the diamond- which is like a more attacking 4231- we might even be able to play Oscar next to Mikel in the back 2.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Eventualy we should play 4:3:3 with

------Mikel-------

---Oscar-Mata-----

Hulk-Torres-Hazard

[DDA 9,690]

I hope this deal goes through otherwise all of who basically everyone that is posting formations and team selections with Oscar involved are going to have to start changing them again. Lol.

[Slam Dunk 1,442]

These fantasy formations being posted in every single transfer thread are becoming extremely tedious.

RE: Oscar - I still don't believe this deal is as far along as some seem to think. Frankly, I don't see a need for him at all anyway. You can't buy every talented player that comes onto the market.

i dont believe kdb will leave, i think he will stay and play wing and cm alon with marin and oscar off bench. meaning rambo starting. do we get that rw maybe so but sadly kdb will be have to go on loan, id rather give kdb that shot too bad it doesnt look like they will.

Central midfield consisting of Oscar and Mata, are you mad? And including Hulk in those fantasy lineups is also pointless at this time because recently there has been no evidence whatsoever that he's on his way to Chelsea.

i agee with the point of fantasy when people are including hulk like oscar (buy) represents both! we needed a cm or rw, and pictured the formations mostly with either, but with both is insane!! no way we can will buy both, just need to accepy squad as is. maybe we buy rw but a squad player ok with the fact of being on bench.

no more hulk in startin XI, it was ok when guesing which would come but it seems a cm is on the way so lets stop with the inclusion of hulk.

Since we are buying Hazard, Oscar, Marin,...I suggest we will play offensive football. And with offensive football we dont need more than four defenders and Mikel. Also in beggining, Lampard will play instad of Oscar more time, but eventualy Oscar will take his role. I expect in 2 years, he will get some weight and defensive abilities (not much, but enough to play there).

And what do you expect; play attacking football, but with 6 defenders + GK? I dont see why would we need more than one CDM anyway. Stop thinking so defensive mate. With possesion of the ball, you dont need to defend so much and if you attack, opponent cant right?

RIght now we would surely play Lamps ahead Oscar in big games, but in two years, Oscar will take that role (hopefully) and at that time he will understand PL game.

In TC transfer talk, more or less everything is pointless, but I count we will get Hulk in the end. It just cant be any other way. He suits us more than any player.
