shurlock Posted 23 January, 2014 Posted 23 January, 2014 Not sure Fonte is known for that?! And be interested to hear who this source is?! Fonte is one of the niggliest players around.
Pastor Patrón Posted 23 January, 2014 Posted 23 January, 2014 The guys a clown and can't cut it in the prem anyway. Don't wanna see him in a saints shirt again
trousers Posted 23 January, 2014 Posted 23 January, 2014 Not sure Fonte is known for that?! And be interested to hear who this source is?! The journo is Neil Ashton so got to be someone who was close to Cortese I would imagine...
LaptopSaint Posted 23 January, 2014 Posted 23 January, 2014 this could have been simmering for ages.... I heard Jose was pulling his ponytail too.
Georgie Posted 23 January, 2014 Posted 23 January, 2014 So serious facial injuries to Fonte. How long will that put him out for? This is getting ridiculous. Jos sodding Hooiveld in defence. We desperately need a CB in if Fonte is now to be out.
Sour Mash Posted 23 January, 2014 Posted 23 January, 2014 The journo is Neil Ashton so got to be someone who was close to Cortese I would imagine... Ashton does seem the source of any stirring regarding Saints at the moment, all a bit weird.
doubleonothing Posted 23 January, 2014 Posted 23 January, 2014 Dear Doncaster, You know that Billy Sharp character that is due to arrive with you today? When he turns up, turn him around back to us please? We had a bit of plunder with a pirate. Much Love MoPo
Fan The Flames Posted 23 January, 2014 Posted 23 January, 2014 Doesn't this sort of stuff go on all the time at clubs. No big deal really.

He told me the day after we signed him, "He was trouble at Roma and he will be at your team"

Pastor Patrón Posted 23 January, 2014 Posted 23 January, 2014 Absolute madness if we don't sell him asap
Giordano Posted 23 January, 2014 Posted 23 January, 2014 Now let's be fair he should have got a pay rise for that one. He's ruined all the good work he did there with this latest incident. Shame really, I was hoping to see him up his game and tear Arsene Wengers stupid jacket off his back. You've hit the nail on the head there. I did not see the kicking the Newcastle goalkeeping coach in the balls incident myself but he really should not be kicking the goalkeeping coach - it should have been that **** who took Luke out. I do hope its only a bit of blood and a few bruises for Jose as hes been a loyal player for ages but its a good thing it happened in training and not in a match which could have cost us three points. Incidentally, this will probably cost Dani an International suspension in all likelihood for the friendly v spain on march 3rd or 5th i think it is. Prandelli is strict about stuff like that .
Georgie Posted 23 January, 2014 Posted 23 January, 2014 Doesn't this sort of stuff go on all the time at clubs. No big deal really. It is if it now means Hooiveld has to play again due to Fonte being injured.
Wiggles31 Posted 23 January, 2014 Posted 23 January, 2014 Get rid. Overrated and sh*te player. What an absolute pony tailed nonce.
DT Posted 23 January, 2014 Posted 23 January, 2014 Perhaps Osvaldo saw this as a way of getting an exit during the transfer window... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
buctootim Posted 23 January, 2014 Posted 23 January, 2014 Perhaps Osvaldo saw this as a way of getting an exit during the transfer window... Crossed my mind too. The Newcastle one failed to do the trick so he really went for it this time...
Pastor Patrón Posted 23 January, 2014 Posted 23 January, 2014 Can we start an abuse campaign like Roma fans did please? That'd be super
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 23 January, 2014 Posted 23 January, 2014 Great. So when we needed him back to bolster our front line, once again, he's unavailable. I do begin to wonder if we should cut our losses and get someone else in and that's as someone who really wanted him to succeed. Disappointing and again we are short of real competition up front.
maddog Posted 23 January, 2014 Posted 23 January, 2014 Just saw Fonte driving through Romsey in his big white Fonte mobile! Couldnt see any black eyes!
Convict Colony Posted 23 January, 2014 Posted 23 January, 2014 Simon Peach @SimonPeach 12m The more I hear about the Osvaldo incident, the less I think it is possible for him to play for #SaintsFC again. Players aren't happy.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I know he's supposedly unusual but he'd have to be unhinged if that's the only way he can think of getting a move.
Saint86 Posted 23 January, 2014 Posted 23 January, 2014 Can we not terminate his contract with immediate affect and sue him for subsequent losses?
angelman Posted 23 January, 2014 Posted 23 January, 2014 Simon Peach @SimonPeach 12m The more I hear about the Osvaldo incident, the less I think it is possible for him to play for #SaintsFC again. Players aren't happy. Divided camp is a bad thing. Ship him out to Inter, cut one's losses, don't worry about the reaction from other supporters (pride before a fall) and sign some good English talent.
Psycrow Posted 23 January, 2014 Posted 23 January, 2014 Doesn't this sort of stuff go on all the time at clubs. No big deal really. This is what worries me to be honest. These things do happen all the time on a training ground, but clubs suspending their players for these types of incidents doesn't. It must have been very serious if that's the step the club took.

What we should have done in the first damn place.
Sheaf Saint Posted 23 January, 2014 Posted 23 January, 2014 Can we not terminate his contract with immediate affect and sue him for subsequent losses? Don't see why not. I know what would happen if I was to lose my temper and leave one of my workmates with serious facial injuries. I would be out the door so fast my feet wouldn't even touch the ground. I imagine 99% of people would expect similar, but then most of us exist outside the bubble of professional football.
Downthe36 Posted 23 January, 2014 Posted 23 January, 2014 Probably couldn't have chosen anyone worse to do this to, such a central figure in the squad with strong friendships, like Simon Peach said it's very hard to see how he can play for us again.
kpturner Posted 23 January, 2014 Posted 23 January, 2014 I have to say I agree with Glasgow.... that is a sentence I never thought I would ever write in this forum! If it is fighting no good can come of it. I remember Ruddock and Berk........ on the West Ham training ground. One always has to go.Wasn't that John Hartson??
Convict Colony Posted 23 January, 2014 Posted 23 January, 2014 Wasn't that John Hartson?? yeap, boot to the head.
St.Patrik Posted 23 January, 2014 Posted 23 January, 2014 Even made it into Swedish paper http://www.aftonbladet.se/sportbladet/fotboll/internationell/england/article18227227.ab
Dr Who? Posted 23 January, 2014 Posted 23 January, 2014 Wasn't that John Hartson?? Yes that's the one! Not only do we lose a front player, we could miss a centre back. I stand by my first comment, he has to leave the club for the good of the club. Team spirit is everything and you do not forget something like this.
skintsaint Posted 23 January, 2014 Posted 23 January, 2014 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2544554/Osvaldo-banned-Southampton-two-weeks-training-ground-clash.html I wouldn't read too much into it, I linked a dailymail bust up involving Swansea and most of it turned out to be crap.
shurlock Posted 23 January, 2014 Posted 23 January, 2014 Reckon with Cortese at the helm, we would stand a better chance of getting him out of the door in the current window and possibly lining up a replacement.
Give it to Ron Posted 23 January, 2014 Posted 23 January, 2014 Reckon with Cortese at the helm, we would stand a better chance of getting him out of the door in the current window and possibly lining up a replacement. Maybe Cortese will do us all a favour and take him to his new club - you cannot let one bad apple ruin things
Dig Dig Posted 23 January, 2014 Posted 23 January, 2014 The guys a clown and can't cut it in the prem anyway. Don't wanna see him in a saints shirt again Was that comment lifted from the Boruc water bottle thread? Sounds very familiar.
aintforever Posted 23 January, 2014 Posted 23 January, 2014 I stand by my first comment, he has to leave the club for the good of the club. Team spirit is everything and you do not forget something like this. Impossible to say stuff like this unless you actually know what's gone on. Might have just been a good old fashioned punch up.
Pastor Patrón Posted 23 January, 2014 Posted 23 January, 2014 Was that comment lifted from the Boruc water bottle thread? Sounds very familiar. Nope, wasn't even a member then and didn't say anything of the sort. I have said we should be looking for a replacement for him after he f#cked up at Arsenal, which I think is reasonably sensible.
sussexsaint Posted 23 January, 2014 Posted 23 January, 2014 Luke Shaw @LukeShaw3 4m ? It gets worse, Shaw has the clap.
niceandfriendly Posted 23 January, 2014 Posted 23 January, 2014 Didn't expect this! Never dull being a Saint. I hope Fonte is okay. Dani, by attacking one of the players who has played such a huge role in our rise through the leagues has just ended his Southampton career, surely?
MerceSaint28 Posted 23 January, 2014 Posted 23 January, 2014 Osvaldo is a very fiery charachter....Mo Po knew what he was getting I never felt Osvaldo was right for the club...we need a really quick forward who can run the channels and finish. Ba would be perfect...or someone like Mame Biram Diouf from Hannover...former Man Utd We could get him for a fraction of Osvaldo's cost and he would fit the system far better. Fortunately Osvaldo still has plenty of resale value and plenty of admirers in Italy...so a sale shouldn't be hard
Saints Warrior Posted 23 January, 2014 Posted 23 January, 2014 Time to sell Osvaldo, he is a liability and thats 6 games we now have a weaker to to choose from. has he had more banned games than goals now, £1.3m per RED card almost
beavis17 Posted 23 January, 2014 Posted 23 January, 2014 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/25859916 Fonte's injuries not serious according to this.
Pastor Patrón Posted 23 January, 2014 Posted 23 January, 2014 Couldn't he get arrested if the Daily Mail article was true, with assault being illegal and all?
Smirking_Saint Posted 23 January, 2014 Posted 23 January, 2014 Was that comment lifted from the Boruc water bottle thread? Sounds very familiar. I think its in the stock quote folder Filled under 'foreign players'
Sour Mash Posted 23 January, 2014 Posted 23 January, 2014 Impossible to say stuff like this unless you actually know what's gone on. Might have just been a good old fashioned punch up. Why hasn't Fonte been suspended as well then?
Barry Sanchez Posted 23 January, 2014 Posted 23 January, 2014 Osvaldo 13 games. 3 goals. 3 yellow cards. Missed 6 games through injury, illness. How many games could he miss through suspension?
pangy Posted 23 January, 2014 Posted 23 January, 2014 Anyone else thinking this is Osvaldo forcing his way out,Inter have had a few loan bids rejected and it was reported DO was very keen on the switch only to be rejected,I reckon this his way of forcing our hand to accept
DuncanRG Posted 23 January, 2014 Posted 23 January, 2014 Couldn't he get arrested if the Daily Mail article was true, with assault being illegal and all? If anybody presses charges...which they won't. If it's had an effect on the whole squad then he's got to go, really. Still fancy Fredy Guarin if Inter are after Osvaldo?
