So this talented young Brazilian who goes by the name of Nathan is on the brink of signing...Does anyone think this signing could mean the end of Oscar?? I read in the tabloids a few times that Oscar is wanted by Juve. Could this maybe mean Nathans brought in as a cheaper, younger alternative to Oscar, so if Ossie is shipped off to juve it opens a space in to the squad for a Pogba or Koke??? I love Oscar but do think he needs to start stepping up a bit more as he's been over taken by the likes of coutinho for the EPL best attacking midfielder. As for pogba and koke, anyone of these two lads would suite our midfield down to a tee. Koke for me looks like a real mourinho player. Very similar to fabregas but even better defensively. Maybe fab and his magic hat will move up behind the Diego next season....

So what happens to him now? Is he even talented enough to get into the first team?

Oscar will be gone this Summer. His average rating dropped from 2014 season. But I don't think he will be replaced by someone who didn't prove himself yet.

A few names to replace him:

Bale (don't think it will happen), Reus, Progba (Man City is going after him too), Koke.

Just read it's confirmed that he signed with Chelsea.

Pretty much confirmed, will join in july
