Oscar has much better pedigree at a higher level than Abel. Abel’s best scoring season in his career is with us in the championship. Oscar’s is in the Portuguese Premier league. I’d not necessarily disagree with you but it’s not a set in stone fact that he’s a better striker.
fair But the portuguese league is pretty gash outside porto benfica n sporting etc Not much diff to the spl Only one team other than those three have won the league since ww2 and it happened once Also not sure why hernandez n oscar are being compared Both doing us/did well Theyd have made a good partnership up top with their differing attributes
Oscar was with Vitória S.C for 5 years, he spent 2 of those years on loan at Barcelona S.C. and Denizlispor (presumably how he made it onto Acun's/Tan's radar). It's not like he was a first team regular and scoring for fun in the Primeira Liga.
In the voice of Captain Mainwaring, ' I wondered who'd spot that'. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
He’s a better footballer technically, just compare some of Abel’s finishes to Oscar’s Abel could do everything Oscar does however Oscar would struggle to do some of the things Abel did Just a reminder of how good he was -
Potentially a little well done and taste of things to come with a good loan move for the rest of the season...
That’s pretty harsh. Our league is often mistaken for being quality instead of just highly competitive
If I remember correctly,Harvey Vale was on the bench for a Chelsea game a few days before he joined us.
Another occasion when maybe useful to remind how a particular player was rated at one point in their City career, not how they are now viewed with 20/20 hindsight. At the end of his first season here very few rated Abel. He'd been injured quite a lot I remember and in fact, there was a lot of very negative comment about him. When we went down that season there wasn't a great clamour to keep him but Steve Bruce did, and he came good in the Championship.
