Aye, I wouldn't want him next to me in the trenches, that said if I was in a plane crash in the Andes I'd want dennisboothstash next to me. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
I don't understand why we don't simply sign players who perform exceptionally well for us and whom we can sell for a substantial profit. It is unacceptable.
Bloody hell, I didn’t realise he played for the Brazilian team. No wonder posters are pissing the bed about us loaning him out.
I think his vegan virtues would be sacrificed,along with you.He'd then wash your liver down with a nice 30 year old Balvenie Portwood... Sorry mate,should've chose me,at least I'd cuddle you before I kill you
Oscar showed he clearly had something about him in that first season. He's good at attacking crosses when they come and he can be a good physical presence with his back to goal at times, and unlike many big strikers he doesn't constantly foul people. I think the team around him being a bit of a mess made it hard to judge him as the goals dried up. When Rosenior got rid of him I thought it made sense based on the reasons given; he wasn't fit often enough, was on a big wage, and wasn't suited to the pressing game we wanted to play. Baz saying he's been brought back to have a look at him sounds a bit strange, particularly with the timing; I would hope that Walter has already seen plenty of footage of Oscar and knows whether he's the type of player he wants, and if he really wanted to see him in person I'd have thought that could've happened 10 days earlier and we'd be further down the road with him now. Hopefully Baz is making Tim sound less certain about it than he Is. I hope that we're not taking a gamble on his fitness, particularly I hope it's not another Super Lig situation where he's been in a country that doesn't take fitness levels as seriously and ends up getting injured constantly when trying to play at English intensity levels. I still don't really understand what Walter's style is; I'd have thought he'd want strikers who can press like LR did if he's supposedly this super modern, attacking manager. Lots of questions around this move for me.
It wasn't just pressing, Rosie was getting him drop ridiculously deep for the ball which just isn't his game at all.
Walter’s system creates a lot of high quality chances so it should suit him to the ground hypothetically. However how big a role in the creation the striker has is where he may be limited
That was the real issue for me, how poor we looked with and without Delap. We had games we were good in but then we’d lack that potency and drive to get us up the pitch.
