re: .

Oscar is great for the first half of the season and then sucks the second part. It is the second part that Randy hates.

He is still young and shows flashes...needs to put on some weight, IMO, because he does lack physicality.

but what has happened with Oscar?

Seems he has really fallen from grace over there? Serious question.

Oscar has been inconsistent since he arrived though at first it could be written off because he was so young, now it's a pattern. He usually starts off each season incredibly well but by the winter he has fallen off and by spring he can't even get on the field he's so bad.

I didn't want to sell Mata because I really like him but I understand why Jose did it. His defending is hilariously bad and you know there are gonna be times when that's what Jose wants/expects him to do.

Pedro...whatever, fine. glad to see something happening, but didnt really see much of him last year so i cant say for certain what it is i like or dont like about his game. could work out great, BUT, when griezmann is out there for twice the cost, significantly younger, and arguably as or more talented, im left with a very blah feeling.

None of it. We obviously want Stones and need a long term Terry replacement. Falcao on the roster is a waste and I'd love to see a young guy actually be given a chance.

Oscar is way too inconsistent to be relied on over a 60 game season and Cesc is being wasted because we don't have any attackers or play a style that allows them to make dangerous forward runs for Cesc to pick out.

Costa is just as likely to get injured or suspended as he is to score a goal with the current makeup of the team. I know there aren't many out there but we need a striker like Aguero who can create his own shots/goals sometimes.

Now, I don't think any of those things are going to happen so from that perspective yes it's a joke but I think those are some of the things that need to happen for us to head back towards being European elite.

would it be stupid to move hazard to striker? Dudes young, fast as hell and can dribble through defenders

With our plethora of wingers, I have actually wondered what we would be like have Hazard play centrally in an attacking role. Call it a CF or CAM position.

The realization is Hazard doesn't have a position often and floats around doing whatever he pleases in most games so this would be a formality.

Willian will be a super sub with terrific defensive effort. Pedro adds some attack but is not a long term fox as discussed.

Isco would be an absolute dream come true and a long term solution.

I think we are actually seeing moves because of the arse kicking City gave... Let's see if we sneak in another before the window closes. Griezman, stones, or Isco would all be terrific additions.
