52 | Oscar Bobb - 2023/24

[oldius]

From those that have watched him at youth level, what is his main position?

I have watched him a lot, and considered him to be the best of the academy players, along with Joel Ndala and Isiah Dada Mascoll.

Oscar is versatile, and can play anywhere in the attacking areas of the pitch. He played LW, RW, CF and CAM for the academy/EDS. IMO, he is better in a central position where his close control and vision can do real damage. He has a supreme weight of pass that can repeatedly release forward players, but he is not explosive - more of a David Silva than an Alvarez.

 

[Delphinho]

I like the cut of his jib. Not short on confidence/cullions. Hope he can push on

LCM, David Silva style

Such a nice little David Silva regen cameo. Down to not shooting when in a good position lol.

Kidding aside, boy looks special with the football.

Valued at 40m already I reckon, we have a scouting system beyond belief, change the fucking password though, 1234 is no longer acceptable.

 

[hammocity]

Palmer is a more of an individual that can create something out of nothing for himself, but Bobb has the attributes that Pep Guardiola's teams require. Close control, ball retention, football intelligence... Just has such a smooth playing style.

If both players play regularly, I believe Bobb will become the better player personally.

100%

I'm ITK blue, and without giving the game away, theyve upgraded to 5678.

 

[freshie]

This move went down really well at the ground. Fodenesque

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

He’s a cheeky chappie, I like what I saw in his cameo

Lol, genuinely laughed at that, I believe the most common bet on the National Lottery is 1,2,3,4,5,6, it will happen one day if the world keeps spinning for thousands of years.

 

[leo_city]

There’s a reason we rejected any loan approaches or otherwise. He will benefit playing with the seniors. Little minutes like this can help

I heard it was the old Clubcall phone number.

 

[OB1]

Not seen much of him but know he is highly rated. Yesterday he gave us some glimpses of why he is.

Without wanting to compare the two (as that would be obviously ridiculous), when I first saw Bobb receive that ball and turn the opposition, I thought of...

Yeah, agree with all of this.

The reason why he can play a number of positions is because he's such an intelligent footballer. Just like Foden he's excellent in the pockets on the half turn. We really need to use him more this season because we could unearth an absolute gem.

Yeah, some of those premium rate phone lines were really essential listening weren’t they ..?

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

OB is the new KdB.

 

[Scoobz3]

More ecited about him than any of our new dignings !

 

[eastmanc]

He did really well when he came as did Gomez.

 

[come-on-barney]

Early days but can see why Pep rates him so highly.

Peter Reid?
