Wade Garrett Posted 28 January, 2014 Share Posted 28 January, 2014 The point is they are controlled by their creditors who are owed 345m euros, have been selling players to bring in cash for years and wont be spending £15m Talk of them selling Postiga to Napoli.

It's been eventful, obviously. It's not nice what happened. I'm man enough. I took it and moved on.

Matthew Le Tissier Posted 29 January, 2014 Share Posted 29 January, 2014 To be fair it all looks a bit over the top to me Fonte doesn't look like someone who has been brutaly attacked. If osvaldo is genuinely sorry and wants to be a part of the team then stop acting like a child and retweeting fonte stuff to look good, just publicly appoligise and draw a line under it. And fonte stop looking for attention tweeting photos of a scratched eye and looking for sympathy Its all a bit pathetic and embarrassing to be honest Get over it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpine_saint Posted 29 January, 2014 Share Posted 29 January, 2014 I consider it no small coincidence that, even accounting for injuries, the team spirit and effort is back now Osvaldo is off the scene.

Cabrone Posted 29 January, 2014 Share Posted 29 January, 2014 This is all pretty frustrating - the missing piece of the jigsaw is a top class striker and we have one at the club right now. Surely all parties can kiss and make up and we can finally see what Ossie can do. Great performance last night BTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The comments from Katharina Liebherr were quite telling in this regard - "my priority now is to bring some stability and calm to the workings of the club; perhaps a few smiles too" Commentators on my stream last night talked about how players always knew when Nicola was at the training ground and I get the impression that he was quite the task master (OCD) and not the most 'fun' of characters We have seen with the release of players and players going on loan that perhaps things are just slightly easier now Nic has moved on.

Matthew Le Tissier Posted 29 January, 2014 Share Posted 29 January, 2014 That's because everyone at the club was miserable while cortese was there. Ask anyone that works there what it was like the day after he left! Everyone was smiling as to the normal walking around with eyes in the back of there heads. The club is now a happier place fact This has nothing to do with osvaldo Maybe if what your saying that the players don't want to play with him !? The players will have to start voting to see he we sign to check they all like them and they will fit in? I think you need to give our players a bit more credit! They are professional enough to not let him effect there game. I personal think he should go. Not because he had a tiff with fonte but because he is crap The comments from Katharina Liebherr were quite telling in this regard - "my priority now is to bring some stability and calm to the workings of the club; perhaps a few smiles too" Commentators on my stream last night talked about how players always knew when Nicola was at the training ground and I get the impression that he was quite the task master (OCD) and not the most 'fun' of characters We have seen with the release of players and players going on loan that perhaps things are just slightly easier now Nic has moved on.

nta786 Posted 29 January, 2014 Share Posted 29 January, 2014 From Sky Sports Website: Juventus director general Beppe Marotta has confirmed the club's interest in Southampton striker Dani Osvaldo. Former Roma man Osvaldo has been linked with a move back to Italy after being suspended by Southampton following a training ground bust-up. The likes of Juventus and Inter Milan have been credited with an interest in Osvaldo, with the player reportedly keen on a move back to Serie A. Marotta has admitted Osvaldo is on their list of targets, but that they must sell before they can buy anyone. "We like Osvaldo and other clubs like him too," Marotta told Gazzetta dello Sport. "He is an excellent player, but before buying anyone we need to sell." Marotta also revealed they will only sell unsettled forward Mirko Vucinic if he asks to leave Turin. Vucinic has been linked with a move away from Juventus all month with a possible swap deal with Inter Milan's Fredy Guarin collapsing at the last minute. A number of clubs are thought to be keen on Vucinic and Marotta insists the Montenegro international will only leave if he demands to quit. "Vucinic? He will leave only if he asks to go," added Marotta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
