Azul 1,615 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Oscar? You guys watch football from one end of the pitch, Oscar works hard for the team and what he lacks in high end quality on the ball he more than makes up for in work rate and defensive acumen. Not everyone on the team has to be brilliant on the ball.Anyway back to Moses...He can learn a thing or two from Oscar.Hard work isn't enough to be a no.10 at this level mate. He needs to have flair and imagination like Hazard. I honestly think it would be better if we shift Hazard to the middle and have two proper wingers next to him.

Skau13 21 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 The team having dome contigency might also help. To actually have a system in place that the players are familiar with that doesnt consist of just passing it to Hazard and hope he does something with it Vybz Kartel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherry33 234 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Just sell him already, he has no role in our team anymore. Why even keep him? TheIceMan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's HG so when it comes to squad space he won't really cost us anything. He can certainly be pretty useful for us. RoyalBlues 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
didierforever 7,349 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Just sell him already, he has no role in our team anymore. Why even keep him?cos we dont need the money right now but we might very well need it the next season when we go for a big signing (striker/CM). also his value would be very low right now with a poor season at pool. loaning him and giving him a chance to prove his worth plus increase his value so that we can sell him next year would be the wise move.

Madmax 9,219 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 I think what people are saying is that there's a world of difference between the best level that Moses could produce to the best level that Willian could produce, which makes ita ) all the more disappointing that Willian hasn't hit those levels yet andb ) imperative that Willian reaches those heights now that he's settled and has a year behind him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vybz Kartel 1,613 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 I realize that but no one was saying anything close to this at any point in 12-13 or the first half of last season when he singlehandedly carried the team. He had a bad spell and looked tired, I don't think that should be overlooked or understated Jose demands a lot from his players and Oscar probably wasn't in the best shape to cope. And yes his work rate for the team does make up the the lack of elite technical ability, when you can find another no.10 that works as hard as him to win the ball and initiate counters then we can talk.People were saying De Bruyne is better than Oscar, in 2012-13 after he had a bad spell again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Mikel OBE 4,920 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 People were saying De Bruyne is better than Oscar, in 2012-13 after he had a bad spell again I still think he is if we are going to be honest.Oscar is good, when in form, but I think De Bruyne offers better everything outside of work rate.

Chelsea Legend 11 4,062 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Hard work isn't enough to be a no.10 at this level mate. He needs to have flair and imagination like Hazard. I honestly think it would be better if we shift Hazard to the middle and have two proper wingers next to him.hold on... for as 'poor' as Oscar was past February he was still our 2nd highest goal scorer and worked extremely hard in winning the ball back. You guys make it sound like his only contribution to the team is his work rate, he's done a lot for the team and when he isn't scoring goals or assisting he's still making a contribution to the team. When you can find a no.10 who can do that then you may have a leg to stand on. As is, Oscar is important to the team for more reasons than end product. He cost us 23M because he doesn't have world beater ability, he can do a lot for a team given his skill set and fee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's slightly better technically but doesn't seem to possess the engine or desire. He's good, not great. Sir Mikel OBE 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously he didn't singlehandidly carry us. In the first half of the season(19 pl games) he ended up scoring 5 goals and assisting 1.Putting that into perspective Hazard,in the same period, scored 8 goals (1 penalty) and 4 assists. So singlehandidly carried us my ass.He can do better and I expect the 22 yr old to improve as well! He's played well in patches, much like Hazard to be honest... He works extremely hard for the team and in the end that takes away from his quality going forward. Basically what's already been said, hard work only gets you so far. He needs to contribute to our attack. Whether that's scoring goals, assisting or starting attacks from deep doesn't really matter but he has to contribute in some way to our attack.

Chelsea Legend 11 4,062 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Meh... I think you guys are getting carried away but that's me. He can do better and has shown better, he's 22 and is struggling for consistency big deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we want to loan him, just loan him already, im starting to feel anxious watching people already comparing him to Willian. As much as i don't rate Willian high comparing him to Moses is just pathetic. As a 6th AM maybe? To play against minnow sides? He's HG so when it comes to squad space he won't really cost us anything. He can certainly be pretty useful for us. 6th AM? We already have 6 if you count Fabregas also. I see no point keeping him. Salah will barely get any play time, why make it even harder.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said before, it doesn't cost us anything to keep Victor around, he's HG, so I really don't know why you're stressing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amblève. 4,995 Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 He had a awful world cup, and he didn't played almost half a season on loan to liverpool last year. We've got andre and salah now we don't need him, he's not in our level.Saying Moses is not Chelsea quality and then backing that argument up by bringing up Salah, welp...Anyway, can we finally stop with this "our level" BS? Rafinha was starter for Bayern last season, Darren Fletcher one of the most important bench players for United during their glory days not too long ago, even Belletti almost made 100 appearances for us, and absolutely nobody would ever call these players world class whatsoever.As for Moses, the guy scored 10 goals in his first season at Chelsea playing most of his games under the guidance of fucking Benitez. We basically did not only have no plan B, but also not even a plan A and yet Moses managed to score 10 goals and provide 5 assists. I doubt anyone wants Moses to be a regular starter for us next season but he's a good enough option off the bench. For that to be he doesn't need to play like a Hazard 2.0.

robsblubot 3,595 Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 I still think he is if we are going to be honest.Oscar is good, when in form, but I think De Bruyne offers better everything outside of work rate.You got a point there, but consider that Oscar's work rate wasn't what it is now when he joined Chelsea. Perhaps he's been listening to Jose a bit too much?Concerning Moses, he just inst good enough for a club like Chelsea. Decent player, but keeping him or not is going to be a technicality that may or may not be about the HG quota. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
