Oscar

Retiring numbers 1-11 should never be done unless the circumstances are extreme, like Maldini's for example.

I don´t know why some Chelsea Fans angry about the fact that Oscar will wear the 11 on his back.Yes Drogba is a legend and the best striker Chelsea ever had,but if Chelsea wouldn´t give the numbers of the legends to the new player then we have in 50 years only numbers like 80 left..

Number 11 should be retired!

He wore 15 too, shall we retire that as well?

Oscar has been having a terrific Olympics and I am glad we signed him up.Ill admit I was quite saddened by this move primarily because of KDB's exit on a loan move but I guess its well worth the sacrifice.

How many young kids dream of things like "I want to wear number 11, just like Drogba when I grow up"? I'd wager more than a few. It's not much but just that dream can help spur on a youngster to take that chance of being a pro footballer.

Have no problem with him taking the No.11 shirt. Has the potential and talent to become great but will need time to settle.

Great video.

And besides the quality of the player. What is great to see on his is that you can see that Brazil doesn't play to put that many people in the box. They pass the ball 30 meters of the goal, waiting to set-up play and sudden burst of acceleration.

Change of rythm and penetration.

I hope to see this style of play for the team but I'm affraid that we won't see it.

Maybe in 2013-2014 with a new coach and some legend player of the club retiring.

Retire the number 11, lmfao. You do not retire 1-11 jerseys at big clubs. You honour them with a next generation of talent adorning them, ie. Real Madrid's number 7 belongs to its greatest players.

He wore 15 too, shall we retire that as well?

lol well maloudas sort of tarnished that number a bit since then

[LeonDavis23 371]

maybe a bit harsh on malouda given all his hard work for us but his recent past couple of years not so great

[capriccioso 2,545]

The previous number 11 was fairly good but didn't exactly set the place alight as Drogba did.

It will be very weird to see 11. OSCAR on the teamsheet instead of 11. DROGBA

[HRiver 1,512]

Thank God that Oscar will now wear number 11. We won't be hearing those ridiculous "number 11 should be retired" statements anymore.

[Duppy Conqueror 1,494]

i wouldn`t mind if 26 is retired. but no numbers from 1-11 ever should. i`m glad Oscar has got the number 11 shirt.

Number 11 should be retired!

[OneMoSalah 8,783]

Retire number 11? Drogba was a great player for us but its not like he was here for over 15 years.

[BleedsBlue 1,549]

Who really cares about the number?

Who really cares about the number?

Oh FFS, if you don't care.. why even post?

The club YOU support created an entire article on their 'Official' website to declare Oscar would be wearing the number 11, which speaks volumes.
