I think criticising Oscar’s hold up play is unfair. I don’t think he’s done a bad job of it, simple and basic control the ball and pass it to someone. It’s not like he’s constantly bullied off it. We just don’t get the ball in to him enough and he’s usually looking to make runs rather than tracking back.

Exactly.
And who knows, he might do an Ash, Daws, ..... I see him as sort of like Ayling at Leeds, not the most technically gifted, but capable, gives everything, and as you say, likes to get forward and can deliver decent crosses (if only we had fit, proper strikers there for them).
I guess understandably the club were keen to keep him (for off and on field reasons) and he wanted more security than just the year extension. Unlikely to be a high earner in the scheme of things. To my mind, sensible.

hardly comparable to Ayling when he was a top player in the championship and not out of his depth…

If you watched the run in and decided he’s out his depth you’re watching with a pre determined agenda on him

If you’re watching him and seeing a player up to scratch you’re lost. Defensive awareness and speed of thought is way below the standard required, not to mention positionally very poor. I do agree with an extension but three years is bonkers

Why is it? Not going to find someone happy to be an understudy and plus if we challenge at the right end we’ll get a fee before he leaves

Oscar is worth persevering with. When he has time to think about things like penalty kicks and through one on one he generally hashes things up. Although a snap shot or pouncing on a rebound he is the best we have had for a good few seasons.

Jaden Philogene, a winger available from Villa, thought he looked decent for Cardiff last season. Stoke and some Bundesliga clubs are interested in him, would like to see us have a go.

Id be happy with the name on paper, not really followed his career so not sure what sort of full back he is?

He’s actually done well, been a mainstay in their team and been steady away. Played most of West Brom’s PL games when he was available.
