Oscar

^^When Oscar has his day he is the best no 10 in the world.

This exclusion, therefore, might be best for all parties - not having any break I would have thought speeds up his burnout quite a bit!

That's highly questionable.

Who is the best 10 in the world?

Not that i think it is Oscar obviously.

It's bizarre isn't it? Guy is not even in the top 5 in the league on any day. Silva, Cazorla, Ozil, Mata, Eriksen........ And then there's Spain.

Why are Chelsea fans so blinded by Oscar? Even on other forums, it's the same. He barely did anything in Brazil. We signed a prospect, a talent and it shows. Is it just a case of grasping at straws, I wonder? Or the guy is foreign with a nice sounding name and scores the odd golazo? I will never understand.

Questionable? You're being very kind, Jason.

I'm not big on rankings, so I wouldn't know. But I do think the 5 players MrE mentioned plus the likes of James, Isco, Pastore, Muller, Gotze, De Bruyne make a (far) stronger claim. Not to mention Messi, who basically plays the role of a #10, though coming inside from the right.

I'm a massive David Silva fan, but you've also got the likes of James Rodriguez, Ozil, Isco, KdB etc. who are just so ahead of Oscar at number 10. Not even debatable tbh.

I'm more surprised no one mentioned Coutinho in this discussion

As one of the best number 10s? I don't know, not yet for me. The biggest criticism I had of him was a lack of end product, but this season he seems to be stepping it up with everything else not going right around him lmao.

Then again, it must be kept in mind.. He did just turn 22. He's been about for a while and should get better from here.. Not sure if he'll be one of the greats though.

He is another one I forgot about. Coutinho is definitely a better player than Oscar this season and he has way more natural talent. He's the best player at Liverpool.

Next season is going to be huge for Oscar as he won't have the fatigue excuse to fall back on.

Scoring a few screamers won't get you far. At the moment, Coutinho is just a flashy player with little end product.

It'll be very interesting to see what we do with him this summer.
