Oscar

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Olympic games are helping Oscar lot in moving to Chelsea, London and Prem league. Much better than direct transfer from Brasil to england.

He still has lot to learn in terms of not losing the

ball that often (Im bit harsh to him, but sometimes he tries too much). Other than that, he is briliant player to have. Surely key for brasil if he will evolve properly. I just hope we wont ruin him as he is very young.

Unlike several others jizzing over Oscar after vieweing the Olympics where most are under 23 players, I feel he will struggle in Premier League in the first season. Brazilian players from midfielders to defenders to strikers are ball hoggers. Oscar will learn the harsh way that in premier league you cant keep the ball with you for too long as the game moves fast and tackles are flying. Ramirez and Luiz experienced it the hard way.

He is the playmaker in the midfield and he will have tackles flying at him. He is just 20 and he will learn. He will lose the ball as a result and this could harm us.

The thing is, that Oscar actually doesnt keep the ball for too long, and whenever he does, he is running at pace, and if his movement is slower, he is simply too skilfull and intelligent.

Dont think he will find it as hard as Luiz(indisciplined) and Ramires(technically deficient).

He moves the ball fast and continues his runs to recieve the return pass.... His pace fits within the PL style and he is technically really good.

True : Not to be jizzed upon, but he is the biggest talent apart from Neymar in that Age bracket. And now he is ours.

Oscar, Hazard, Mata will all drift towards the centre limiting width. All three will also try to dictate play and probably just end up getting in each other's way.

What? You know Hazard and Mata have been wingers for years right? Just because they've played through the middle for 6-7 months doesn't mean they forgot how to act as wingers. This kinda shit is getting so overblown.

AND EVEN IF YOU'RE RIGHT, and they all drift towards the middle, they all have silky passing with the capability of playing 1 touch football with each other. There's really no downside to what you're talking about.

Hazard and Mata have played on the wings but by no means are they wingers, they are very much attacking midfielders, and Hazard never played in the middle for Lille (as they play the 4-3-3) and has only done so a few times for Belgium and Chelsea. Valencia is a winger, you know why he is a winger? Because he stays out wide and gives the team width. Mata and Hazard have never given width to teams nor is their job to.

Winger = Antonio Valencia, Angel Di Maria

Attacking Midfielder = Juan Mata, Eden Hazard

Inside Forward = Hulk, Cristiano Ronaldo

Wide Midfielder = Ryan Giggs, David Beckham, Florent Malouda

Seconday Striker = Alesandro Del Piero, Zlatan Ibrahimovic

Target Man = Didier Drogba, Alan Shearer

Poacher = Fernando Torres, Alex Pato

You see just because they occupy the same area of the pitch doesn't mean they are the same type of player. Mata, Valencia and Hulk can all play out wide but do they do the same thing? No they don't.

Totally agree. Tbh the closest player to a winger we have is Marko Marin and you could even pass him off as an attacking midfielder.

We still have no wingers. We have not had any proper wingers since Robben and Duff. I really wany a player that will stay out wide and give width. He doesn't need to cross the ball in or anything like that, just stay out wide, to create space and prevent congestion in the middle, which is what is going to happen. That is the reason I don't want Hulk, becuase he is going to look to shoot before passing and is going to cut inside like Robben too often.

Moses could be that player, if hes played on the right anyway. Apparently the deals close so I imagine he'll be our right winger.
