saints_is_the_south Posted 14 August, 2013 Share Posted 14 August, 2013 Spurs won't sign Osvaldo now they've signed Soldado. They'll be meeting for Lamela, although if Sabatini tries selling him then I'd advise him not to return to Rome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr X Posted 14 August, 2013 Share Posted 14 August, 2013 Didn't Ramirez claim (honestly) that he'd joined us because of the money we were offering him? If so, one would think Cortese would lull Osvaldo in using this same tactic. Money talks. Even if he doesn't particularly want to be here, I think Osvaldo would soon come round to the idea once he sees what we're building here... we don't want another player coming here for the money only and then not being arsed to put the required effort in. Ramirez was a big mistake till he proves me wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkish Posted 14 August, 2013 Share Posted 14 August, 2013 Would play the Totti role that Osvaldo is used to, I'd think. False 9. Who came up with this false 9 bollo*cks? Was it sky, Talk sport or Soccerball AM or some other sh*te house production? False 9, **** me, its just a player who plays a bit deeper and isn't an out and out centre forward.

DuncanRG Posted 14 August, 2013 Share Posted 14 August, 2013 False 9, **** me, its just a player who plays a bit deeper and isn't an out and out centre forward.

Unbelievable Jeff Posted 14 August, 2013 Share Posted 14 August, 2013 I'd never even heard 'false number 9'. Tekkers is a very useful term to quickly determine who never to talk to again. Same with 'worldy', which is 99% Merson's fault but even MLT is guilty of it now. Most annoying to me is Kamara. If everything is unbelievable, nothing is unbelievable. I used to like Soccer Saturday a lot, but it'd be nice if they could do it without any catchphrases. Not as annoying as the name 'Adrian'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smirking_Saint Posted 14 August, 2013 Share Posted 14 August, 2013 I agree about false 9, really gets on my nerves, what's wrong with saying attacking midfielder? They generally arent AMs. False 9 was invented in some glossy new coaching manual in an attempt to explain the way a certain player needs to play. Essentially I reckon someone just said 'he plays just behind the front man, not exactly a number 9' etc bla bla bla There are loads like this and will probably be more as roles evolve etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goneawol Posted 14 August, 2013 Share Posted 14 August, 2013 The Southampton face seriously for Osvaldo know by day, we told it step by step.

Turkish Posted 14 August, 2013 Share Posted 14 August, 2013 You think? I think we will play Rickie as a false 9. Sometimes to hard to resist m8 I hope you're right,but for one thing MP showed no inclination to play him there last season behind Rodriguez, we won't sign a striker for 20m to sit on the bench. He can play behind Osvaldo and think he'd be good there, I wonder if MP agrees though? I can see him being used more as an option off the bench if Osvaldo joins.
