He's trying to get the scoop, when in fact he's days behind.

Ladies & gentlemen, subject to final part of medical test, Osvaldo will be shown with a nice watch on one wrist and clutching a number 11 shirt.

 

No idea when announced .

 

Seems to fit nicely... Could be tomorrow, maybe later in week

That doesn't quite look right.

Funny if he fails the last bit of his medical.

Seeing as i put a wedge on him signing, nor would it be mine.

[lifeintheslowlane]

Can we have a public whipping for all the doubters on here who said it wouldn't happen!!

 

On the centre-circle before the kick-off on Saturday...pretty PLEEEEEASE.

I somehow doubt it was ever genuine. Just makes us look ambitious letting unscotched rumours drift around.

*disclaimer - not really that interesting but says the fee is €18m + 2m in bonuses - brings it to £17 million ish

Time for the ITKs to find out where he is flying into tomorrow. I'm off, so if it's Southampton then I may pop along to greet him.

18 million euros. Say, £15.5 mil?

[Under Weststand]

Simply salivating at the prospect of Lambet & Osvaldo, roll on the official announcement tomorrow.

It's roughly around £15.75m

[SNSUN]

Excellent photoshopping!

 

Well fingers crossed this goes through. Eyebrows will be raised in the direction of our little club.

Little, unfashionable club, formerly in the shadow of our more illustrious neighbours...

 

Riquelme!!! Remember that...

 

Is it just me, or with our three new recruits, does anyone think our sending off tally might go up this year?

Ah, what's 250,000 euros between forum acquaintances?

Goodnight

 

Cheers buddy . ,thus post seems to have been missed. Took it to mean we are home and hosed.

 

Why are we thinking of pink Floyd songs btw?

I think Osvaldo is a big Floyd fan. Makes him a good lad in my book, and from the sound of it 'Shine on...' could probably be about him.

tancredipalmeri: Southampton should make official the Osvaldo signing within tomorrow according to Sky Italy

He is already here from what I've heard

[itchen_dan]

SimonPeach: Pablo Osvaldo should officially join #SaintsFC tomorrow, according to Sky Italy. Quite a change from earlier, when told a deal was in doubt.

[Under Weststand]

Sky sports Transfer centre at 7.30 with Jim White may be interesting.

Seems to be in with Cortese, I wonder if he will break the news shortly?

[Monk]

Definitely done!

 

Announcement tomorrow.

 

Can I retire now please?

[itchen_dan]

SimonPeach: Was told Osvaldo move increasingly unlikely, but sounds like impasse has been overcome. Another #SaintsFC transfer record fee beckons.

That'll do Monk, that'll do.

 

Until next time, don't retire.

Take about four and a half months off, but expect you back for duty in January.

Refreshed and ready for action.

Ok well 'run like hell' comes to mind
