Pancake Posted 31 January, 2014 Posted 31 January, 2014 I presume we can still Loan in a player with option to buy in the summer after today? This is what I've been trying to work out. Can we loan from another European league after the transfer window does closes?
S-Clarke Posted 31 January, 2014 Posted 31 January, 2014 This is what I've been trying to work out. Can we loan from another European league after the transfer window does closes? Nope.......loans out of the transfer window are lower league only, and that is only domestic.
Viking Warrior Posted 31 January, 2014 Posted 31 January, 2014 I am a little disappointed he has left but I understand the reasons why . Could this back fire on us if we try to recruit another Italian ? Did he lose his temper because NC resigned I thought we might have done some sort of swap deal that might have been a bargaining tool but either it failed or was never on the cards . us fans will never know The good thing is Rickie will now step up to the mark and strut his stuff
Viking Warrior Posted 31 January, 2014 Posted 31 January, 2014 Do we know if the nutter have formally apologised or is he another arrogant player who does give a toss who he hurts or ****es off ?
trousers Posted 31 January, 2014 Posted 31 January, 2014 The good thing is Rickie will now step up to the mark and strut his stuff Just a hunch, but I'm guessing it's not a complete coincidence that Rickie's apparent reduction of "joie de vivre" this season coincided with Osvaldo's arrival. Wouldn't surprise me at all if we see a mentally rejuvenated Rickie Lambert the remainder of the season.

Saint_Tony Posted 31 January, 2014 Posted 31 January, 2014 Tevez, Llorente, Vucinic, Giovinco, Quagliarella. Do they need Osvaldo???! Hasn't worked out at all, glad the situation has been resolved for now. The Man City goal aside, he contributed very little

corky morris Posted 31 January, 2014 Posted 31 January, 2014 Just proves the players have all the power. Whatever his ability as a player IMHO he has very little integrity!
sandwichsaint Posted 31 January, 2014 Posted 31 January, 2014 Anyone get Osvaldo 17 printed on there shirt? Can anybody spell 'their'?

david in sweden Posted 31 January, 2014 Posted 31 January, 2014 let's get this right. Juve will take him off our hands for the next 4 months, AND pay his full salary......AND maybe / perhaps buy him for £15 million in May? all things considerd .......it sounds like selling him will be a better deal than buying him in the first place.

A good agent gets him a move away from Italy for 6 months...could have been Fulham, Poch was the decider, he settled for us...then plans his return ticket to Juve in Jan. IMO, of course.

S-Clarke Posted 31 January, 2014 Posted 31 January, 2014 I get the feeling with Osvaldo, that even if he hit the ground running with us and banged in the goals without any incidents, he'd still be looking for a move. Doesn't' strike me as a player who will stick with any club for any reasonable amount of time.
JoeShmoe Posted 31 January, 2014 Posted 31 January, 2014 So on the one hand we have a guy who stepped down a league to sign for us, who has been nothing but class and professional since signing, who has been with us all the way on our remarkable journey, who let a previous manager screw his wife (joke), who has never acted too big for his boots, or given anyone any reason to think he's a billy big bollards. And on the other hand we have a bloke who has punched team mates at least twice, who just got himself suspended for getting involved when he had nothing to do with it, who has been pulled away from confrontations a couple of times this season, who runs off when we lose with no acknowledgement of the fans, who was hated by the fans of his last club and who plays like he's doing us a favour. I know who I think is to blame. I hope the whole of SMS give it one big "Jose Fonte Baby" if he plays tomorrow, cause he's one of us. That Carlos Kick-a-ball aint.End of *Post written after a few Tanglefoots. Brilliant. More tanglefoots mate, well deserved!

NewYorkSaint Posted 31 January, 2014 Posted 31 January, 2014 It's probably the best negotiation that could happen in the time available. But I still doubt we'll get our money back unless he has a glorious season. I would guess there will be a big game of chicken in the summer. Juventus: He's been OK for us, but not great. We can't pay 15m of your pounds for him. Saints: But that's what you agreed. Juventus: As an option. We can't exercise that option. Too expensive. Saints: Great. We'll have him back then. Juventus: Of course, at half the price we might be interested. Saints players: Do it! Do it! We beg you! Saints: How about £14m? Juventus: Ne! £8m maximo. etc

The deal was dressed up as good one for us but in reality all we appear to be getting is him out of the building and his wages paid for a few months. Thats not a criticism of the club because there were few options open to us. Juventus hold all the cards. If he is brilliant for them and has a stonking world cup they get a £30m player for £15m. If hes crap, they walk away having paid nothing.

So if all goes well and Juve start playing hardball on paying up in May, SFC could call their bluff and his value could go up with a good world Cup. Bit of cat and mouse but hopefully we'll at least get a chunk back.
melmacian_saint Posted 31 January, 2014 Posted 31 January, 2014 Strange signing which looked good on paper but seems like it was a folie de grandeur more than anything.
scotty Posted 31 January, 2014 Posted 31 January, 2014 Strange signing which looked good on paper but seems like it was a folie de grandeur more than anything. I still cant get my head around this one. Pochettino knew his background better than anyone here, why did it go so wrong so quickly? He must have been involved in signing him, Osvaldo was the first big-money signing under MP, it cant have just been the transfer commitee.
Stud mark of doom Posted 31 January, 2014 Posted 31 January, 2014 Surely an option to buy for juve is a good thing for them rather than us. If he dies really well and is worth more than £15m they'll buy him for less than the market price. If he doesn't do too well and isn't worth that, they won't pay that.
Handyman Posted 31 January, 2014 Posted 31 January, 2014 We don't need people like that in Southampton, being a player does not absolve him from nasty behaviour. I like to think that Saints are still a family club and will not tolerate having someone like that in our midst potentially destroying the harmony in the club and giving a bad example to young fans, perhaps to emulate.

sfc1976 Posted 1 February, 2014 Posted 1 February, 2014 Well, what the fuc was that all about then? Sign a nutter, he behaves like a nutter, and then get rid of him a few weeks later. Probably best not to bother in the first place. What was the point? Strangest signing since that moldy freak we got before the before the chelsea game last years. What's he doing now anyway? Washing the players cars for a quid no doubt. Fuc this noise, off to bed.
Delboy Dave Posted 1 February, 2014 Posted 1 February, 2014 Youre kidding? Yes mate fortunately I am. I wasn't drawn into this £15m foreign superstar player so he must be good bullshiit, like a lot of the mugs on here were!
jampot Posted 1 February, 2014 Posted 1 February, 2014 A very intelligent "footballer" but football on these shores is clearly not one of his talents......
DuncanRG Posted 1 February, 2014 Posted 1 February, 2014 (edited) I still cant get my head around this one. Pochettino knew his background better than anyone here, why did it go so wrong so quickly? He must have been involved in signing him, Osvaldo was the first big-money signing under MP, it cant have just been the transfer commitee. Same as always: Pochettino identifies areas for improvement, the scouts go out and find players, the transfer committee do the deal and Pochettino does the final sign-off. This has been confirmed in an interview, though I must say I can't remember exactly when. Pochettino believed that he could keep Osvaldo under control, and that there'd be no reason for any tension in our rather friendly squad. Or if he wasn't sure that he could, he at least accepted the challenge. We as a club got it wrong. Edited 1 February, 2014 by DuncanRG
jupu Posted 1 February, 2014 Posted 1 February, 2014 Osvaldo just before headbutting the pope http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2013/08/19/article-2396981-1B46321E000005DC-13_634x456.jpg
washsaint Posted 1 February, 2014 Posted 1 February, 2014 undoubtedly a quality player, and undoubtedly a prize c**t. Hopefully next time we'll sign someone who wants to be here. Sounds like he never wanted to be here and and was a caustic presence in the dressing room.
Massimo Osti Posted 1 February, 2014 Posted 1 February, 2014 The Echo quote him saying its “an honour and a dream” to move to Juventus, what a prize **** is. Its a gamble we took and lost this time, Just a shame we didnt replace him before the window shut.
Barry Sanchez Posted 1 February, 2014 Posted 1 February, 2014 Nah...it's the geezer who 'stole' food from Iceland's skip... Is that Pap?
