Daniel Osvaldo - Signs 4 Year Deal

[Colinjb]

This just now from someone who claims to have contacts in the game:

 

Talk Football @GoTalkFootball

Roma have accepted a deal for Osvaldo, they have persuaded him to move to Southampton even tho he's not keen on move. [18m euros] #Saintsfc

Someone may already have posted this - in which case apologies - but here is a link to the full and somewhat worrying history of this player and his 'troubles'... It seems like a hell of a gamble bringing someone like this into such a grounded and team-focused squad...

Has anyone done a Skacel based "has he signed" joke yet?

[tisspahars]

The 10/11 didn't last long - into 4/6 with Skybet. (Disclaimer: whilst this is clearly not a bad thing, neither is it in any way a guarantee of a good thing).

He has played at 5 different clubs and has had some "problems" in 1 of those, a team that perhaps has the toughest fans to please.....

Give me that passion and desire every time, those of us in the real world will not see kicking an ad board or confronting a team mate as "troubles". Having read that article I think want Pablo even more now, he is EXACTLY what our young side needs.

 

Did Mo have any trouble with him at Espanyol? I've not read or seen anything.

11 yellow cards and 1 red card during his time at Espanyol (44 games), so not too bad in terms of discipline.

 

Seems to have been sent off on average about once a season throughout his career. Personally, I can live with that risk if he is weighing in with 15+ goals a season.

Makes really interesting and worrying reading. He's all we need to upset the apple cart and the wonderful friendly club team spirit. Seems he'd be more at home posting of here where ripping apart your fellow supporters rules of late/

You need to remember how some of our fan base reacted to Artur Boruc lobbing a water bottle against the advertising boards to see how much some people don't like anyone with a bit of fire in the belly.

Good article on how Johnny would fit into our team.

Very promising. Someone who can compliment our existing strengths.

Pablo looks like someone we could really go to war with, think our team could do with a bit of that.

Sign him.

 

Don't sign him.

 

I couldn't give a flying one any more - I just want know one way or another. This has dragged on for too long now.

[Mr X]

Sign him.

22 pages in time to close now!

Next part of the story is that another club also has a bid accepted.

....or that a previous club still has a 45% stake in his registration.

Cue West Ham....

[suewhistle]

Why is it so important for him to be in London? What are his priorities? Better nightlife?

 

Museums? Shopping?

Osvaldo meeting with his reps in the next few hours - we remain 'confident'

Good point mate, I'm sure if the club knew, they would base their transfer target and strategy around your patience levels!

[saints_is_the_south]

Le offerte non mancano. Dall’Inghilterra, dalla Germania. Con la Roma sullo sfondo. Pablo Daniel Osvaldo e il futuro, tutto da decidere. L’attaccante giallorosso incontrerà il suo entourage nelle prossime ore, il Southampton resta fiducioso. Wolfsburg e Tottenham però non demordono, col club tedesco che nelle prossime ore potrebbe presentare una nuova proposta. Gli Spurs invece, con la cessione di Bale, avrebbero i soldi necessari per tentare l’assalto decisivo. Osvaldo attende e riflette. Tra Italia, Germania e Inghilterra.

Osvaldo will meet with his entourage in the next few hours to decide on his next destination. Saints are confident, but competition remains from Wolfsburg and Spurs.

[Saint Billy]

What is his problem with him moving to Southampton ffs, has he never heard of Bedford Place !!

 

Perhaps if saints throw in a free years pass on the Isle of Wight ferry it might swing things.

[Wes Tender]

Cue West Ham....

 

No. He wouldn't suit their style of hoofball and he certainly wouldn't be able to understand Fat Sam. Also having played alongside Totti, Carroll is going to appear even more the donkey that he is.

[suewhistle]

I'm sure that as in English there are subtle nuances following the usage of words in various contexts.

 

Absolutely, I've only seen ceduto (cedere) in a footie context, vendere would be the normal word for sell. Whatever, the meaning is clear in this case. The player's choice remains to be seen though. If it means an Italian influx and somebody opening a pizzeria with a wood-fired oven in Southampton it would all be worth it!

[Toon Saint]

Pretty sure the Spurs link is lazy journalism prompted by the Baldini Roma/Spurs connection.

 

If their interest is contingent on selling Bale then can't see them being ready to make their move just yet. Also, I reckon Lamela is probably the more suitable target given that they have already signed Soldado this window.

It's time to use our trump card and take him for a curry at the Corriander Lounge.

Osvaldo needs a trip to Nandos with the lads.

Come on Pablo and enjoy a bit quieter life where you will be loved....

She seems quite a feisty young lady.

I sense some entertainment from these two,if he joins.

Perhaps the best husband and wife duo since Mr & Mrs Dennis many years ago.

 

And looking at her piccies, good job Pardew is not around to get caught up in any unseemly rumours.

Disnt someone say Cortese is in Italy?

 

I bet it was him,one man mission to force Osvaldo out of Rome and into our arms

Oh no, another one for the bloated complacent dullards to masterbate over whist she's doesn't even care they exist. Is sad the amount of mugs on here that get themselves at it over a professional athletes bird, a woman that whilst generally being no better than average with a good body and a good make up artist most significantly doesn't know or care you are even alive and if she did know you would undoubtedly think you are a vile letch anyway.

He would have need a step ladder to reach that high.

[Pastor Patrón]

She looks like a tranny version of Joss Stone.

[Mr X]

Osvaldo fell out with his manager because he slagged him off on twitter, sounds right up cortese's street

[pangy]

??? Am i missing something here,unless the car in the top right is hanging from the side of a building I am pretty sure that it is on the ground

[Bearsy]

It's on ground.

You got all that from the word 'welcome!?'
