'cause Oscar is guilty of going missing for half a season

With Courtois now signed up, and Hazard seemingly next, it's strange that there doesn't seem to be much chatter about a new deal for Oscar.

I don't see it as urgent to be honest. Who is really interested in Oscar? Why would they? He didn't have a good season - only a good half, he didn't have a good WC (although not terrible either). His form's been on limbo and so is interest for him imo. Of course, it'd be wiser to extend his contract now - so it'd prevent him from asking too much money if he's at the top of his game - on the other hand is also a risk. What if after another year he proves to still struggle to keep up from the winter on? Then it makes much more sense for the club to let him go rather than keep him. If he doesn't get used to the winter days and the league in three years, I think he never will. I'd wait and assess it further later if I was the board. There's no rush because there's no one seriously coming. I've never even bought PSG interest. Don't remember if their board or president acknowledged them back then...

All valid points.

Perhaps if the club sign Oscar to a new deal on a marginally better salary that would suit all parties; the player would have more years and the club would have a potentially better player on a relatively small salary. I think waiting could cost the club far more than it would be to just sign him up now. Even if things don't work out I still think Oscar could be moved on for a decent fee.

big improvement, pleased

Starting to check the boxes for me..

Oscar is always shit, people said...

[Yeboii 1,844]

Pretty nice game from him, got an assist as well.

However, I think Mourinho will be angry at him for trying that backheel goal

[Madmax 9,219]

What was frustrating was he's still an unfair target and a scapegoat here whenever we're anything below top class. I read people calling for him to come off in the first half ... why? Everyone bar Hazard was bad in that first half, especially for the first 20 mins.

[Sidzeret 2,257]

The way both him and Hazard makes so much space in the packed penalty box is unreal. It's like they're almost taunting the defenders to make a challenge.

Showed real flair. So much fun to watch.
