The man Di Matteo...

"I can tell you that he's not a Chelsea player so it's difficult for me to talk about a player that doesn't belong to us," the Italian told reporters. "I know there has been speculation that we are interested in this player and in due course, if there is anything to announce, we will do. All I would say is that he is a very young, talented midfield player."

...giving us that textbook answer.

Its official. CBF released Oscar to take medical exams, and the deal will be made offical tomorrow.

That Di Matteo quote is better than any twitter or 'Sky Source' - pretty much a done deal with a comment like that lol!

If the press would be wrong, he would deny the rumours. I also guess its club policy not to talk about deals who are not officialy confirmed.

Contradicting comment "It's official" "Will be made official tomorrow"

But I do agree that the deal does seem all but announced atm

Good thing about living in the Eastern time zone of the USA. It's mid-day in London when I wake up, so I can usually get some juicy news right away.

It's quite odd that I'm more excited by this signing than Hazard's considering I've no idea how he'll even fit in, but like I've said many times, although players like Hazard have extraordinary talent, Oscar definitely has *it*.

I've got butterflies in my stomach now. Haven't had these since I fancied some girl in high school years ago!

WELCOME!

I hope Oscar bulks up a bit, looking at that screensaver he looks thin, really thin.

Brazilian media reporting the fee to be 25 million Euros, good value!

[BenIsLegend 475]

That screen shot looks epic but I don't want to use it until he's official

Mata looks like he weighs about 80 lbs as well. He did fine. Players like David Silva and Modric are tiny, too.

Yes but they could do with an extra 5 or 10 lbs or something. I feel Oscar will need it for sure anyway as this will be his first season in Europe, going straight from Brazil to England will be very difficult and I'm sure he will realize the physicality in both leagues are totally different.
