If De Bruyne was given the equal amount of chances, he might have performed better too, guess we will never know. But in hindsight it was a disastrous decision by Mourinho and Chelsea and it's not like De Bruyne took a lot of time once he left Chelsea, he started tearing it up at Germany, so the talent was always there and Mourinho preferred the graft of Oscar over the talent of De Bruyne.
Damn. Okay Mourinho doesn't even get the credit of buying him. Thanks for the info.
Um he plays in Inter with a world class striker and his numbers are on par with Martial's for us.
Yeah, his price has basically doubled over the last few weeks. Why didn’t we sign him before the World Cup instead of Fred whose value has probably gone down!?
are you for real
they are completely different players in different positions and Fred is a player we wanted and Perisic the one we passed on from the last window it seems. Had a great WC and would like to have him here but what you gonna do. We identify different targets, also if players like Chong gets a shot they can be at least of the same quality as him, just need ot be given chance. If we are to play Mata on the right with Lingard rotating, then it's time to be upset.. not now, everyone is an expert nowHis price has hardly changed. No one is in the queue waiting to sign him, by the look of rumours only we want to sign him. Inter demanded ridiculous amount of money last season when they were in a weaker position and this year with a new contract they would be asking even more with or without his world cup heroics.
Erm that's my point?
You're slagging people off for criticizing players they've never seen play. In the same vein, there's people who praise players they've never seen play, based on YouTube etc. This is usually after we've been linked.
He can play on the right too.
Yes, he can play on the right same as Neymar, Hazard, Reus, Ronaldo, Sanchez, Martial, etc. But, all of them are slightly better on the left.
He wasn't. Just the type of player that Mourinho liked. Trackbacking & hardworking,etc.. he had those, when it came to playmaking, Oscar was an average 10.
This. His crossing is very overrated here, in the biggest match of his life, when he was in form, when his team had all the possession he could not put one decent cross in. Besides crosses these days have to damn good to be converted into goals, defenders are well drilled these days to keep them out.
Absolutely. Oscar was preferred on the basis of his work rate of tracking back, not creating chances. He was average throughout except that Juventus goal.
Fergie would love him. Out and out old school winger.
