Oscar

[Sheva. 5,373]

I hope your joking, for Oscar's age he is one of the best young attacking midfielders in the PL already. There is no 20 year old better than him that I can think of..... not even Jack "deletes twitter because hes apparently failed a drug test" Wilshere. He will rip the league up.

Lol you've just proved his point. Oscar will need time to settle and adapt to the league - but of course he could do this quicker than say Ramires.

I think people are putting him down too much. He won't be world class in his first season but he will still be good.

I think people need more realistic expectations for Oscar. He's clearly an immense talent, but coming from the Brazilian league to the Premier League is an enormous step up and to expect him to immediately be Iniesta or something is unrealistic and unfair to him. (Just like expecting Hazard to be Messi is unrealistic and unfair to him.) These are young players coming into a new league where players are faster, stronger, and more talented and they will have their ups and downs at least in the short term.

Fully agree. I think he's still got a lot to prove to justify the hype around him. The thing that worries me the most is his work ethics. He just looks lazy at times on the pitch, especially when defending.

I'm just waiting to see how everyone completely change their opinion about him when the season starts and he's not in our starting XI.

The thought that he could easily have ended up signing for Spurs makes me positively shudder.

It's funny, Spurs were closest to his signature and he obviously didn't want to play for that shit club by saying that he's staying at Inter.

Not sure if serious.......

Not sure if trying to be funny.....

And yes I was serious. I'd elaborate, but quite honestly, you don't seem like you're looking for a proper discussion.

Because he's right, but trying to put you down instead of just saying that he is hard working.

No way on earth is he lazy Cho. Just look at how he drifts all over the pitch trying to get involved in the match. He does it for the whole match and drops deep to help out the team. I also remember someone saying Oscar can do a pretty good defensive job if asked to.

Lazy is the last thing I'd call him. We're talking about a player who's constantly on the move. And he does a lot more of defensive work than your average number 10. You can't expect all players to defend actively, it's not his job.

I'm not too worried about his defensive duties, providing he can track his man and has a hugh work rate which he does then its fine by me, he doesn't need to be a ball winner, but a ball retainer and our playmaker, especially if at CAM, which is where we should be... We saw it yesterday, he got passed one man, looked for a pass to put neymar away, it was just blocked then he immediately chased it down, blocked the ball and won it back...

Sorry,I was just lazy to write something more seriously.

Oscar is constantly tracking back,filling the flanks and the empty spaces whenever the team is defending.It just doesnt look like he works hard enough because he doesnt go running towards the ball like a headless chicken a la Di Maria/Ribery
