Who is more trust worthy, internacional or BBC?

It's 25 million Euros. The english media just see 25 and make it pounds when as said is around 19m pounds.

The deal was in euros so: 32 million euros, which is close to 25 million british pounds.

Dat awkward moment where people think that money matters to Chelsea and Madrid

Fixed.

So it's not £25 million for a 20 year old, it's only £19 million....

That completely changes things

In your first post you said 25million pounds what changed now?

Ok I give up

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/18990002

Chelsea have completed the signing of attacking midfielder Oscar on a five-year contract for a fee understood to be in the region of £25m.

you realize that £25m is close to 32m euros or not?

Why am I even explaining this?

That is wrong, it's pretty simple.

Paulo Freitas @Cynegeticus
#Internacional have confirmed the transfer of Oscar to #CFC, but the transfer fee is being reported here as 25m Euros, not 25m pounds

Hope it all pans out well then. Fingers crossed.

Hey I know Paulo. He's a good colleague of mines. He knows his stuff, this basically confirms the price.

Yea, well you have to when you're the head researcher of Brazilian futebol for FM at Sports Interactive.

He's a very reliable source.

Urban getting owned once again.

You paid 12-15 million for a 17 year old............

Only 3 games out of 14. Get over it.

I have to wonder how the defensive will cope if they line up so offensively and more importantly change their mentality.

Agreed. Even in pre-season poor/average teams have been able cut through our midfield and get in behind our defense with ease.

With so many defensive liabilities in the team I'm interested in how RDM is going to approach games this season. Sitting back & hitting on the counter won't work this year.

I am sure they will be much better in the PL, but defeating teams in the CL came not by outgunning so it will be very interesting to see what approach will be taken in these games.

This Chelsea side is no longer a win now team although Abramovich may have something to say about that.

Thought that said 19m for Lucas then.

"reported to be worth £15m."


That was 8m in straight cash and rest of the money was spillited into add ons such as appearances etc

Well they went for the right team but bought the wrong player.

If your going to spend big at Internacional you need Damiao to replace Torres.

But it appears that there looking for around 30-40 mill for him now so IMO they got a good deal on Oscar.

And LOL at people throwing there opinions around who flat out have seen the kid play once or twice.

His size doesn't matter just like I have said time and again about Silva and Mata and Kun and Cazorla if he goes there. If you are great technically which he is the you shine like the sun in the EPL.

IMO it would take him a lot longer to make a huge impact in Spain or Italy then in the EPL as technically gifted players are so lacking in that league when they get one all the Brits mouths drop wide open in awe of someone who can hold onto the ball and dribble.

I'm glad he went there though, the EPL could use some more flair.

And I guess I will have to be the one to piggyback on my last positing in the "can't beat em, buy em" thread.

If this were City they would be getting bashed by half of you. In this thread you can actually talk about his impact was it a good buy etc etc without half the people on here insulting the club and there Arab owners.
