Right I have a right debate on twitter (eds fav social network) about oscar! I think this kid has NOT become the player I thought he be! Very in and out of form and I feel if some team came in with a bid of £30m we should sell but I get dogs abuse on twitter from the fan boys who still judging him on that juventus goal! So I put it to you! What do you see what I can't because I think he is terribly lightweight and gets knocked off the ball easy doesn't score enough don't assist enough and there are no consistent form! Willian is made for the number 10 role at cfc works hard goes pass players with ease and maybe putting him there might net more

I don't see him as the player a lot of other people see, I think his physical limitations mainly pace don't suit our style of play, he's good tecnically but not outstanding. If PSG want to pay 30/40m for him I'd take it all day long.
I'd rather have a Draxler/Barkley type of player in there plus we have Hazard/Piazon coming back next year who deserve a chance

I agree with you about Oscar, pinky.
I would take 35-40 million.
I find him overrated, extremely. Though I see what he brings and what he does and is a good player.
He's lightweight, he's not fast, he doesn't have that killer pass, he's inconsistent. I fail to see what everyone rates him for.
I, in my honest opinion, find Philip Coutinho better! He's a great player and if he could shoot properly could be a fantastic player and one of the best in the league.
Oscar has his positives, but for me he isn't a 35 million player, like everyone thinks he is. I do like him, don't get me wrong, he marked out Pirlo and scored a wonder goal, and has a wonderful technique with the outside of his foot.
It would hurt to see oscar go, as he is one of my favourite players, but without bias, he isn't as good as anyone makes out me believes.
Don't understand why people give Oscar such a hard tim. I think he can do better but he's in the top 5 combined goals and assists and he's great at pressing from the front. Willian is good in that position also but no evidence that he is more creative.
I don't see him leaving anytime soon to be honest. I think that as he gets older he will get more consistency to his game, so yeah, he won't be a world beater but he will be a valuable first team player. I agree with Aron on Coutinho, Liverpool got him at a steal.
I think Hazard-Willian-Cuadrado should be tried to see how that goes.
The only way I see oscar leaving is if PSG do a David Luiz and offer 50 million. We have enough talented players in the youth team and on loan (Hazard and Piazon were mentioned) who I think could be amazing and the money can be reinvested.
I do think this summer is going to throw up a few surprises!
I agree he's overrated but I also feel his offensive stats are below a lot of guys in his position because he works about twice as hard as most people playing behind the striker. The issue is who his replacement is. If we can sell him and bring in a guy like reus (for even money or so) that's one thing but I think it's crazy to suggest a guy like piazon is ready to challenge him for his position when piazon isn't regularly starting for a mid level club in Germany.
