Juventus planning a bid for Oscar.

My Italian is not quite good enough to understand the whole story, but it seems Juve are definitely going to bid for Oscar. I'm in 2 minds about Oscar, he's been up and down like a yo yo this season. On form he's absolutely great, but he has struggled with his best form. I don't think he can play the Fabregas role of directing the traffic, which makes him a cross between a winger and a behind- the- front- man striker.
What do others think??

 

Unless they sell Pogba, there is no way they can afford him.

 

They can get stuffed! He's going nowhere! Why would he want to go backwards anyway!

 

They are a big club, top of the league, still in the Champions League and they play good football with no bus or planks over the goal. How would this be a backwards step

 

Now now Diego, it's just as easy to be nice !!! I think Juve are a good team too, and can only assume Pogba will be sold with Oscar as his replacement, which is a bit strange as they are quite different midfielders. I like Oscar, but if we got Pogba in an exchange deal of some sort, I would not be unhappy, he's a fabulous player and exactly the type we need.

 

I always try to be nice CP, just thought the put down of Juve was poor

Pogba, biggest mistake we made, think Fergie thought he would listen to promises of games "next season" and it backfired

 

Silly old drunk eh. how long are you giving the useless Dutch disaster? My monies in the summer.

 

Pogba was more like an inside job to me. Red nose ain't that thick.

CP - I would bite their hands off for any exchange offer with Pog! Oscar + 25M pounds would be fair!

 

I think he will get to Christmas as a minimum, even then he would need to be well off the pace before we considered binning him

 

If you continue to muddle through games and Arsenal, Spuds, West Ham & Southampton continue you'll be lucky to get 7th and that would be the catalyst. What then Harry Redknapp?

 

And Liverpool is also there in the mix. Hope, Big sam is also in the mix with 'Arry!

 

Big Sam could manage any team, just ask him

 

but just think what 'Arry could do with the hundred million US transfer dollars?

 

His dog would never go without again

 

He'd probably manage to sieve of 10 or 15% to a Monaco Bank !

 

But only Utd can afford to let him.

 

Ha. Buses snd planks? And yet we still outscore you lot. Some strike force you've got eh?

 

Can`t argue with that, though i think it`s more of a supply problem than a striker problem

 

Fair enough. My point is that we're not as defensive as you lot like to imply.

 

We never were to be honest.
Except in our 2012 CL campaign, when we were extremely outgunned by both Barca and Bayern and had to play ultra defensive.
During Mourinho's two title wins we were the second highest scorers in the league (2005) and then the highest (2006), then in our 2010 we smashed in over 100 goals and broke the goals in a season record.....not quite sure how that can be construed as defensive.
In select games away against bigger teams, Mourinho does set up not to concede and grab a 1 or 2-0 win, but thats just clever tactics.
When you are against a team and manager comparable to our own in class, its that smart play by Jose that gives us the edge.

We could set out like Wenger every big game and just get hammered by trying to play pretty tippy tappy ****, but what makes that any more noble? Or entertaining? at least not for us Chelsea fans...to see us lose.
Wenger, for once, follows Mourinho's method away in a big game at City and gets praise heaped on him (only took him what, 18 years to catch on), yet when Jose does it, its "parking the bus" and "Anti football".....its jealousy and bullshit....a bad combination.
