Mirror says replacement lined up is Oscar!

[hans kraay fan club]

I think he only managed their youth team, not Barcelona B?

Actually I think you may be right.

 

[Baron Pepperpot]

No source. He's favourite in the betting so some desk journo writes a suppositional article. We're in the wrong trade.

 

[HawkTheSeagull]

Would love him and his name is FLAIRTASTIC !!

 

[Acker79]

I'd never heard of the guy before his name cropped up as a possible replacement here several weeks back. For some reason I pictured him as an older Juande Ramos.

Actually I think you may be right.

He did manage Barca youth and was very successful. Here's a report from 2011 about him being a poss replacement for Pep Guadiola

Good stats!

Are we sure we've got the right Oscar Garcia?

Fitness and conditioning coach - Oscar Garcia
The experienced Oscar Garcia joined Swansea in July 2012 as part of Michael Laudrup's backroom team as fitness and conditioning coach.
Oscar, 38, has 17 years of experience in the sports science field and arrived from top French club Monaco.
After learning his trade in the amateur game, the Madrid-based Sports Science graduate joined Spanish club Numancia before spending three years at Getafe.
Having worked for 12 months under Laudrup at Getafe, the Spaniard moved with the Dane to Spartak Moscow before moving to Monaco where he spent the last six months.

Especially liked the "Preferred Formation: 4-3-3".......

 

[gripper stebson]

First press conference.

"So Oscar you coached Barcelona B. Would you like to go back there one day?"

"Of course they are a great club"

NSC goes into meltdown.

Hmmm 4-3-3 yes indeedy

 

[Meade's Ball]

Yup the brand new 4-3-3 with 1 central striker and two wingers/widemen. Phew.

 

[SammyTheSeagull]

Bring him in, in my eyes poyets over stayed his welcome now even though i am a big fan of his! Think Brighton need to announce sacking of Poyet tomorrow and announce there new manager straight after, aren't players back monday

[backson]

Just looked at some of his goals he scored as a Barca player on youtube, took me a second to realise my reaction made me sound like Alan Partridge

 

[timco]

Rather Ironic really Gus liked us to play like Barcelona and often looked like a not so good Barcelona now we have a chance to be a real Barcelona

 

[backson]

Ooh, have just seen a clip of him scoring and getting a hug from Pep Guardiola, now THAT is connections.

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

as long as he brings in loads of flair spaniards and- quite possibly- SOME ISRAELIS then I don't care who he managed (although, as pointed out, some people on here are mistaken....barcelona b ARE a bit more than a reserve team...but he managed their youth team, not barca b)

 

[marshy68]

But he has only managed one club though right?

how many had poyet managed?
