If Osvaldo leads Italy at the world cup......

[rickylambert]

If Dani goes to the world cup as Italy's first choice and does well, Suerly we can't expect him to stay long?

Why not? He seems happy enough at the moment.

playing in the champions league, couple more signings in the summer and a nice wage rise for helping us do it.... why would he go?

[DuncanRG]

I wouldn't worry about it, Balotelli will come back in.

we don't want that loon round here!

[SaintBobby]

Nice to see people starting to worry about Saints players doing too well! Sign of very good times.

He's simply too good for us imo

[mcjwills]

If by he does go after a good WC, the one thing we can guarantee is a good return on our investment. Therefore another good bit of investment by NC, with cash to get our next stars.

I don't think that there is any evidence to suggest that (yet). Let's see what his goal return is at the end of the season.

Wise words indeed

Ahhh, the Lyon way

[Deano6]

Ahhh, the Lyon way

 

Tbh it should be standard business practice in football (as it is in other business).

[Window Cleaner]

Ahhh, the Lyon way

 

But there will always be the odd Gourcuff, 28 milion €, bout 100 K a week and the bloke's never fit. Lyon don't make a profit on every player, they've had plenty of quacks as well.

[Olallana]

If any club should be mentioned for great business while having success it´s Porto.

& under contract. NC would give the 'vision' speech again & if he was forced to sell I'm sure he would get a very good deal.

 

If you put on your red & white tinted glasses (and squinted a little) you'd be able to see Osvaldo doing well for his country in the WC. He might associate his success with his time at Saints leading him to commit his future to the club, attracting other 'world class' players. BTW, OP where did you get your crystal ball, i've broke mine

 

TBH I really don't care what our players do on international duty, as long as they don't get injured. I do like to see them doing well, SRL's England goals are the only England goals I remember cheering. I just want them back at Saints fit & ready for the next game.

Have Croatia qualified yet? I'm more worried about losing Lovren tbh, been immense for us this season and that coupled with a good showing in Rio could see big teams sniffing around him. I hope I'm wrong but I could see him fitting in very well at our next opponents, god knows they need someone of his quality too..

Croatia are guaranteed a play off spot whatever happens. It could be a very tough draw with the likes of Spain, France, Sweden and even England in the hat if we balls it up tonight.
