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

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.

A player who stands in the goal and prevents shots from going in using his gloved hands as well as his feet

Can we have a top 10 of strange things to get angry about?

 

I too get annoyed with all the false 9 talk. And 'banks of four'

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'.

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

Di Marzio saying the Spurs meeting isnt for Osvaldo but Lamela and Pjanic. Says Roma might also meet with us re Ossie whilst here.

 

Phew, Pjanic over then.

 

Sorry.

18 million for a 27 year old seems a lot of money! But maybe that's the going rate now?

 

Probably because he is a full fledged international playing for a country who are better than England. How much would Rooney cost?

This, it seems about right, Rooney would cost about £30mill but has a better record and is more marketable.

Not a huge amount more if he was playing in Italy and moving to England. Probably £20-25m.

The Southampton face seriously for Osvaldo know by day, we told it step by step. Coming soon a written offer to Rome, Pochettino is first on the list, pressing you are highlighting. The Chairman of Southampton is holidaying in Italy, striker's agents in Rome. The last word in Osvaldo: the written offer, it's time for decisions

Could I make a request? Just post the article in Italian, rather than putting it through a gash translator. There are a few posters on here who speak decent enough Italian (myself included), some fluent (not me!) that can translate far better!

He lost tonight. He should get over here where the winners are, except for Maya. Gaston won, Lambert won, Boruc won, Cropper won, Davis won, Lovren won, Mayuka drew.

Isn't it ironic that on a day we are so ecstatic about our hero scoring for England there is still clamour for us to sign a player who will effectively replace him in our first team.

I think we will play Rickie as a false 9.

 

Sometimes to hard to resist m8 :)

If Rickie is injured or suspended, who would you play? Mayuka?

A good false nine can drag a middle defender out of position for the ball striker to nip through and power in a net disturber

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.
