Ok, why are we getting so excited by a possible £25m signing of a Brazilian player who might become a key player for a Brazil team which isn't even in the top 10 FIFA placings? Would we get as excited for a English player with the same credentials?
Fair point. However, there are very few english/british players that I can think of that has his credentials. Of those most would be completely unattainable and especially for less than 25 million. What would it cost for another English team to pick up Bale, Wilshire or even Cleverley? The thing with Oscar is that he is, at 20, an increasingly integral part of a strong midfield in the Internacional team. He is phenomenally talented and displays this on a regular basis for his team and having seen him also pull the strings for Brazil (who may not currently be in the top 10) I am quite confident we should get this done. A move to the PL would not be easy but I have a sense that if we get him you will be asking 'Modric who?' in a couple of years time.
