Oscar

[CHOULO19 24,332]

The way I see it, it's pretty simple. There is absolutely no way that we would sell Oscar because he is crucial to Jose's pressing and ball recovery system which Jose holds as the most vital part of the system and philosophy he is trying to enlist here.

Which is the primary duty of a no 10. It's a'kin to a striker that can't finish for shit. like it's a bad thing to criticise and not rate players who are lacklustre at their primary duty. How's this any different from when people were using the all round play/assists stats and work ethic argument to excuse Torres lackluster finishing, positioning and movement in the box which are primary requirements of a striker. If you will be taking up the playmaker position then you have to deliver or relinquish the role to someone that can actually create.

And not just the lack of creativity either, the amount of times I have seen him lose possession due to a combination of sloppy first touch, lack of finesse and composure and wayward passing is shocking for an outfield player nevermind a no 10.

You can take Juan Mata and his brilliant passes to David SIlva and the rest of Manchester City.

PSG step up charm offensive for Oscar and Eden Hazard ahead of Champions League quarter-final with Chelsea French side risk angering Jose Mourinho ahead of Champions League quarter-final with two PSG players courting not just Oscar but also his team-mate Eden Hazard

Paris-Saint Germain have risked angering Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho ahead of their Champions League quarter-final by trying to entice Brazilian midfielder Oscar to France.

As revealed by Telegraph Sport, PSG are considering a £41.5 million offer for Oscar before the World Cup.

Less than a week before hosting Oscar and his Chelsea team-mates for the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final, PSG have now cranked up the charm offensive in an apparent attempt to turn the head of the Brazilian.

Following Yohan Cabaye’s claim that Eden Hazard would be the perfect signing for PSG, Brazilian Lucas Moura has admitted he would love Oscar to join him at the Parc des Princes.

“Oscar is a very good player," said Moura. “A rare talent in today's football, given his qualities. He is very complete and is very smart. We need someone like him at PSG.

“I think he would help us a lot. The more quality players there are, the better it is for the squad. Also, he's a very good friend of mine. I would be very happy if he came to PSG, the club too.”

Chelsea will be suspicious at the timing of the comments from both Moura and Cabaye, ahead of such an important game, and will not appreciate the PSG duo openly courting two of their most important players.

Mourinho agreed to sell Juan Mata to Manchester United in January after making it clear that Oscar is his first-choice number 10 and Hazard has been Chelsea’s best player this season.

Chelsea are adamant that any bids for the duo, from PSG or anywhere else, will be rejected. Both players have three years remaining on their Stamford Bridge contracts, with the club willing to offer them extensions.

On Hazard, former Newcastle midfielder Cabaye said: “Hazard is the player I'd like to see at PSG. He would do a lot of good to Paris and the league. He's one of the best players against whom I've played.”

Chelsea face PSG in Paris next Wednesday, before the return leg at Stamford Bridge on April 8.

Oscar is creative and will be a for e to be reckoned with

The only issue here is that he is maturing and adapting at a different speed to other players around him.

Impatience of keyboard warriors is the only real issue here. The lad gives 100% every match. As a fan, I can ask no more.

Those doubting his creativity will see in the National team - how important he is.

Jose has tightened up our defence at the expense of attacking football - likely due to the need we can win by a single goal as we do struggle to score (usually) - last few games have proven this, nothing against Villa and 6 against Arsenal...

eh, PSG should go for David Silva.

He's able to play 4-4-2, 4-3-3- or 4-2-3-1.

I don't think either Oscar/Hazard would excel with Zlatan.

Well Jose just settled it. Oscar is for sale. All PSG have to do is put in a 300 million pound bid and we promise we'll think about it...

hahaha, what was his actual quote? missed the press conf!

hahaha, what was his actual quote? missed the press conf!

Something like: "I am not bothered if PSG are interested (in Oscar and Hazard). If there is FFP then PSG can't afford them, but if there are no FFP then they can make a crazy bid like 300m for both then we'd think about it."

Mistake by mou not to use him, his pressure play helps us keep the ball in opposition half

His form and his abysmal offensive play will cost us the title this season, very poor. I feel sorry for Eden because he has to play with this bloke who is 10 times lesser player than him.

I've defended him but enough is enough.

[Eligius 121]

This is why you don't play Oscar as cm.
