CHAPEL END CHARLIE Posted 31 January, 2014 Posted 31 January, 2014 Looking back at this sorry business the lesson I take from it is that if it takes months of painstaking negotiations to get a player to sign for you then the truth is he probably doesn't really want to come here anyway. Never mind their reputation, never mind the price tag, if they don't truly want to be here then (more often than not) you're better off without them. So farewell than Danni Osveldo, St Marys will remember that one sublime moment against Man City. I dare say we'll also remember the despicable way you choose to engineer this move ...
Glasgow_Saint Posted 31 January, 2014 Posted 31 January, 2014 Can you ask your source please mate? The car purchase was from the press, the signing on fee through work
USaint Posted 31 January, 2014 Posted 31 January, 2014 http://www.juventus.com/juve/en/news/osvaldo_joins_juventus http://www.juventus.com/juve/en/news/osvaldo_profile Juventus Football Club can today confirm that terms have been agreed with Southampton Football Club on a free loan deal for Pablo Daniel Osvaldo. The agreement also includes the option, to be exercised before 31 May 2014, for the purchase of the player’s full registration rights at price of €19 million, to be paid over the course of three years. We paid €15.1 million, so hopefully some profit from all this

RedArmy Posted 31 January, 2014 Posted 31 January, 2014 Hopefully Lallana two foots him in the jungle on the 14th June.
USaint Posted 31 January, 2014 Posted 31 January, 2014 It is a huge if. If he can stay trouble free and plays at least they might want to exercise the option before the world cup starts.
Viking Warrior Posted 31 January, 2014 Posted 31 January, 2014 Will saints now announce his replacement ? Now the deal juve has been done
Supersubpuckett Posted 31 January, 2014 Posted 31 January, 2014 He never wanted to be here - go back to the shot of him holding his shirt when he joined, looks like a man thinking "what the **** am I doing" arrogant T0sser anyone who models themselves on jack sparrow should be kept well away from
S-Clarke Posted 31 January, 2014 Posted 31 January, 2014 Will saints now announce his replacement ? Now the deal juve has been done There isn't and won't be one.
danner Posted 31 January, 2014 Posted 31 January, 2014 Good riddance to the ******. Never hated a Saints player before !
ART Posted 31 January, 2014 Posted 31 January, 2014 http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/25971318 Feeling elated it's finally completed and he's gone. I'm sure the players tomorrow will celebrate in style to show what his parting means to them and the team spirit.
S-Clarke Posted 31 January, 2014 Posted 31 January, 2014 And there in lies his only contribution in 6 months.
ottery st mary Posted 31 January, 2014 Posted 31 January, 2014 Will saints now announce his replacement ? Now the deal juve has been done Big SAM...6'4"..180 Ibs and made of stone:) There ain't no one better than our BIG Sammy.
Matthew Le God Posted 31 January, 2014 Posted 31 January, 2014 Will saints now announce his replacement ? Now the deal juve has been done Jordan Sibley @jordansibley14m That's our business done for the window, ladies and gents. No @Dominos_UK delivery for the media lads in the office this year!
EBS1980 Posted 31 January, 2014 Posted 31 January, 2014 Thought Juve needed one out before Dani could join?
Polaroid Saint Posted 31 January, 2014 Posted 31 January, 2014 anyone who models themselves on jack sparrow should be kept well away from Awh... ...but that was the one thing I really liked about him.
Glasgow_Saint Posted 31 January, 2014 Posted 31 January, 2014 http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/25971318 Feeling elated it's finally completed and he's gone. I'm sure the players tomorrow will celebrate in style to show what his parting means to them and the team spirit. Club must be pleased and praised for the speedy resolution. Some rumours that deal was already on before Fonte assult but who cares. Hes gone, he was the flop I predicted. If we get the reported fee in the summer then great news. Have a feeling that Osvaldo will **** it up though and well be stuck with him again in May
Saint-Beer Posted 31 January, 2014 Posted 31 January, 2014 Art, you seem extremely against the guy. Lots of players clash, but to be happy a quality international forward is leaving is sad. I remember all the negativity you had towards Lallana until his performances where more consistent.
Matthew Le God Posted 31 January, 2014 Posted 31 January, 2014 Juventus confirm possible future fee is €19m which is more than we paid for him as Saints won't now pay the full £18m to Roma as he won't play anymore games for us, plus... Simon Peach @SimonPeach 4m I am told Juventus will pay 100% of his wages &, while there is no loan fee, the possibility of selling for £15.6m is quite something. At least we've made the best out of a bad situation.
Viking Warrior Posted 31 January, 2014 Posted 31 January, 2014 So what was MOPO on about one out one in ?
eelpie Posted 31 January, 2014 Posted 31 January, 2014 I'm disappointed that our gamble on him didn't work out, but if we can come out this with no financial loss it was worth the try.......And maybe Saints handling of this situation will even solidify an already excellent team spirit? We might have lost 5 mil, but it has given an opportunity for big Sam to show us what he is capable of. I'd say that is a plus.
S-Clarke Posted 31 January, 2014 Posted 31 January, 2014 So what was MOPO on about one out one in ? Obviously an idea we had, then decided not to pursue it. I reckon we tried to get something out of Juventus in terms of one of their forwards, but it didn't materialise.
ottery st mary Posted 31 January, 2014 Posted 31 January, 2014 And there in lies his only contribution in 6 months. The ground Lallana makes up in the clip of Osvaldo scoring.... unbelievable talent that he is....for me dead cert for England and World Cup..class act. I don't think we will miss Os after all.
Glasgow_Saint Posted 31 January, 2014 Posted 31 January, 2014 Anyone get Osvaldo 17 printed on there shirt?
JackFrost Posted 31 January, 2014 Posted 31 January, 2014 Taken from the BBC "Southampton's purchase of Dani Osvaldo hasn't exactly gone to plan, but at least they are not losing money on the volatile Italian. Juventus have confirmed that the loan deal "also includes the option, to be exercised before 13 May, for the purchase of the player's full registration rights at a price of 19 million euros, to be paid over the course of three years". That deal would be worth £15.6m to Southampton and the reigning Serie A champions will pay his wages in full during the loan. That is good business, you have to say..."
Delboy Dave Posted 31 January, 2014 Posted 31 January, 2014 Anyone get Osvaldo 17 printed on there shirt? yeah, and a Ramirez shirt
Suhari Posted 31 January, 2014 Posted 31 January, 2014 Sad his move to us didn't work out. Record signing, Italy no.9 - playing for Saints; I was so excited when he signed. He SHOULD have become the blue ribbon signing that provided leadership and class to help the club and the academy graduates push on to the next level. Should've, would've, could've.... Instead he turned out to be a cock. I do remember the pics on here of him in his Y-fronts, with people stating they wouldn't want him anywhere near our great club. Drain the pint glass and move on......
Glasgow_Saint Posted 31 January, 2014 Posted 31 January, 2014 yeah, and a Ramirez shirt Youre kidding?
nta786 Posted 31 January, 2014 Posted 31 January, 2014 Taken from the BBC "Southampton's purchase of Dani Osvaldo hasn't exactly gone to plan, but at least they are not losing money on the volatile Italian.

I read this (along those lines anyway), and I also heard we will receive 330,000 pounds now (a loan fee I presume)... Great to know we've practically made our money back His head wasn't in it, and we've let him go. This deal is best for both parties in my opinion.
SaintSteve Posted 31 January, 2014 Posted 31 January, 2014 You mean you will be disappointed if we don` lose out as you will have to find something else for your anti saints negative drivel This...can't the Mods do something about a non-Saints supporter coming out with this iterative nonsense.. perhaps better off supporting Spurs then there are about 8 signings he can be critical of.
Cascadia Saint Posted 31 January, 2014 Posted 31 January, 2014 He might well have been a headcase, I will accept that but to say he didn't look interested is utter nonsense. He didn't look interested.
qwertySFC Posted 31 January, 2014 Posted 31 January, 2014 Personally think the premier league was to much of a step up for him - maybe better off in Italy - it's what he's used to
S-Clarke Posted 31 January, 2014 Posted 31 January, 2014 James Barnes: You know something is wrong with football when Southampton are loaning players to Juventus...
Cascadia Saint Posted 31 January, 2014 Posted 31 January, 2014 Hopefully Lallana two foots him in the jungle on the 14th June. Bear? Tokyos? What is 'two foots him in the jungle' mean?
nta786 Posted 31 January, 2014 Posted 31 January, 2014 Personally think the premier league was to much of a step up for him - maybe better off in Italy - it's what he's used to I believe he had the potential, just didn't bother fulfilling it. Shame really.
qwertySFC Posted 31 January, 2014 Posted 31 January, 2014 Upset some one already ffs http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-25975251
Northernsaint Posted 31 January, 2014 Posted 31 January, 2014 Great business by the club. As Alan Partridge would say... CASHBACK!!!
Mr X Posted 31 January, 2014 Posted 31 January, 2014 My question is who really pushed for signing Osvaldo was it MP or was it Cortese? Its a disaster really now we don't have a replacement and we don't get any money till end of the season! At least he's gone I guess and can't disrupt the team anymore
Whitey Grandad Posted 31 January, 2014 Posted 31 January, 2014 My question is who really pushed for signing Osvaldo was it MP or was it Cortese? Its a disaster really now we don't have a replacement and we don't get any money till end of the season! At least he's gone I guess and can't disrupt the team anymore That depends on whether we paid the full amount up front.
S-Clarke Posted 31 January, 2014 Posted 31 January, 2014 “I’m very happy,” Osvaldo told a Juventus interviewer. “It’s all been a bit of a whirlwind and I still can’t quite believe it but I’m happy. “It was pleasing when I first heard of Juventus’ interest in me. “When everything was completed last night I sat down and I couldn’t believe it. “As I said before, it’s been a pretty hectic three or four days but I’m happy.” Osvaldo, who joined Saints from Roma, was asked whether he had missed Italian football. “I can honestly say I have, yes,” he replied. “When I initially left I was happy to embark on a new and exciting experience in England. “But in the end it became something I missed.” Osvaldo really needs to perform in the next few months to help Juve in their quest to win the Serie A title and to ensure a spot in Italy’s World Cup side. “I want to enjoy it,” he smiled. “In the year of the World Cup, I’m joining the greatest club in Italy and one of the finest in Europe. “I don’t think such things happen often in life. “I want to enjoy this experience, do my best to be involved in the World Cup and, God willing, stay here for many years.”
Pancake Posted 31 January, 2014 Posted 31 January, 2014 Because we used love him, but it's all over now...
Mr X Posted 31 January, 2014 Posted 31 January, 2014 “I’m very happy,” Osvaldo told a Juventus interviewer. “It’s all been a bit of a whirlwind and I still can’t quite believe it but I’m happy. “It was pleasing when I first heard of Juventus’ interest in me. “When everything was completed last night I sat down and I couldn’t believe it. “As I said before, it’s been a pretty hectic three or four days but I’m happy.” Osvaldo, who joined Saints from Roma, was asked whether he had missed Italian football. “I can honestly say I have, yes,” he replied. “When I initially left I was happy to embark on a new and exciting experience in England. “But in the end it became something I missed.” Osvaldo really needs to perform in the next few months to help Juve in their quest to win the Serie A title and to ensure a spot in Italy’s World Cup side. “I want to enjoy it,” he smiled. “In the year of the World Cup, I’m joining the greatest club in Italy and one of the finest in Europe. “I don’t think such things happen often in life. “I want to enjoy this experience, do my best to be involved in the World Cup and, God willing, stay here for many years.” Now. That's funny!!!!!!!
offix Posted 31 January, 2014 Posted 31 January, 2014 Would have been better for us if they had bought him now instead of taking him on loan first. He'll probably punch one of his Juve team mates in the face before the season is out, and they will then not take the option of buying him.
rooney Posted 31 January, 2014 Posted 31 January, 2014 So what was MOPO on about one out one in ? I presume we can still Loan in a player with option to buy in the summer after today?
