Oscar Going on the ATTACK

[BensGrandad]

Just as long as we do not emulate Keegans Newcastle and lose games 6 - 4 I would prefer to win each one 1 -0 given the choice, but obviously want to see us score goals.

Winning 6-4 might be fun.

 

[Eksman]

Oh this season is going to be great fun I can tell

He's going to love Ulloa and Orlandi.

He's going to love Ulloa and Orlandi.

Didn't Orlandi come through the youth set up at barca? If he did would he already know Oscar?

Linked to Gerard Deulofeu this morning (as many of us guessed we may be)

Very likely to just be a case of a journo linking Oscar and barca's brightest youth product, but still quite exciting!

 

[Postman Pat]

The key to any successful promotion challenge is a solid back 5. Lets hope Oscar doesn't lose sight of this...

Maccabi only conceded 7 goals at home last season. Don't expect hari-kari football.

You think he might turn Liverpool and Tottenham down then?!

I do think we will see bridcutt move on now and prob to the prem as I can't see how he will fit into a 433 formation.On another note the very vocal LMA pre sunday have been very silent since.

makes no sense, we've been playing 4-3-3 most of the time

No
Still nice to be linked though.

To be fair a loan comes down to what Barca want in terms of the players development. They may not even
consider a high-prem team the best for him. I pbviously don't know, but I always imaged he would go to a Swansea type. He will pass the ball, play most games and be in the prem under Laudrup (ex-Barca)

 

[Albion Dan]

Barca may see him being with us and a guaranteed starting place under a coach they trust and plays the barca way far far more attractive for their players development than warming a bench for a premier side?

I just saw that too. What kind of 4-3-3 doesn't need a defensive midfielder?

 

[goldstone]

Just like watching Brasil!
Who cares if you let in a couple as long as you score four. Could be rather exciting stuff if we get anything like Rodgers or Laudraups Swansea team of the last couple of seasons. They like to keep the ball but they prefer passing the ball forward rather than sideways. Who knows?

Passing the ball forwards instead of sideways will be a big plus. If we had done that more often last season we would be planning for our first season in the Premier League right now.

You should be a youth team coach. Your in-depth analysis and technical breakdown are what this country needs.

Spain. Pah!

Lol I suggested that the other day, ridiculous notion that we could possibly get him when La Liga clubs are after him on loan as are Dortmund. (not criticising you personally!)

Palace went up with a poor defensive set up.

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

So, if we are going to be on the attack now does that mean we might finally see some 1 on 1's with the oppositions goalkeeper

 

[piersa]

yes he did, he played with iniesta and xavi. what a claim.

and also we might shoot more and not try and walk the ball in the net

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

'to have the ball as many times as possible ?'

Being a pedant this is not quite a correct statement and requires clarification. Surely if you have the ball once a the start of a game and never give it to the opposition , it is a good thing. Also losing it a lot of times and getting it back a lot of times is not necessarily a good thing?

Excited none the less.

For goodness sake, given that English is not his first language, he is doing alright. We're already ahead of saints in the English language capabilities of a Spanish speaking manager stakes, as we were before anyway.
