Oscar was actually quite good not sure what’s happened to him now , surprised he hasn’t come back to europe but then again he must be swimming in money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveAV1 Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 I don’t think that there are issues with Dougie’s overall standard of play, which is good if not beyond improvement. I think it’s more his skill set that doesn’t suit an SG team. He tends to slow things down and lacks a bit of aggression. It’s those things that don’t really suit what I believe SG is trying to find in the overall style of play. He has a tendency to lose the ball through his laconic style and then commits fouls in dangerous areas to try and put it right. I don’t think we’re looking for a destroyer at DM, but we need someone who can be aggressive and control the middle of the pitch. With the creative abilities of Buendia, Coutinho and Ramsey, if we can control this area of the pitch, we can be a very dangerous team. This of course has the benefit of tightening up the defence too. As people will be quick to point out, criticism of Dougie’s laidback style could equally be applied, at times to our captain. For what it’s worth, ie. nothing, I don’t think we’ll sell DL in this window but he could be part of a revamp in the summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel as though the 6 role suits him more. (could be completely wrong). Thnx Daily Mail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may go for monetary reasons, if we get a decent offer and/or the club can’t see him renewing his contact. If Arsenal really want him this month, they can probably get him, but they’ll have to dig very deep. They’ll probably offer us a Brighthouse deal. Couple of million down and a million a month over 40 months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor old SKY. They deserve being kept in the dark because they’ve ‘learned nothing and forgotten nothing’ - they still believe in their ‘big 6’. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So true but they will need to bury their tongues even further if they wish to find their brains - providing they have grey matter! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Wonder how much Bremer from Torino would cost and if he'd be willing to come here. He's not in the Brazil squad yet but looks a really interesting young CB. Been really good for a while now. He only has 18 months left on his deal there and he's apparently only on £20k/w or so. WP should not be a problem as he's Brazilian and played 4 seasons in Italy, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, he's played a lot. Some players go there and don't seem to bother... least Oscar took it seriously. His original contact was for 4 years and earned him over $100m dollars!
