Special K Posted 4 May, 2014 Share Posted 4 May, 2014 Not sure about having him back as he is such a loose cannon. Wonder if he'll get a call up for Italy in the WC squad? If he doesn't he may realise he's a nob and buckle down next season, but it's a big IF! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doddisalegend Posted 4 May, 2014 Share Posted 4 May, 2014 One wonder goal aside he was pretty average I thought the team looked far worse with him playing in it. For all the stick SRL gets around here he still brings so much more to the team than Osvaldo. What we need is a pacey striker to help cover J-rod and I don't think Osvaldo is that. I reckon we should cut our loses and put whatever money we can get for him into a decent replacement for J-rod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glasgow_Saint Posted 4 May, 2014 Share Posted 4 May, 2014 If he comes back here we have a problem. A player that is unpopular and thinks he's too big / good for the club..... Really hope someone takes him off us, worried he's now too big a gamble even for the likes of QPR, WHU, Galatasaray or Fenerbahce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubai_phil Posted 4 May, 2014 Share Posted 4 May, 2014 How many league goals would he need to score before he would be forgiven? 15? None... For many of our Dinosaur fans he'd just need to run around a lot. "put in the effort" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doddisalegend Posted 4 May, 2014 Share Posted 4 May, 2014 None... For many of our Dinosaur fans he'd just need to run around a lot.

suewhistle Posted 4 May, 2014 Share Posted 4 May, 2014 Hopefully Juve not wanting him will deflate his ego a bit, making him realise he isn't actually Gods gift to football, nor worth £15m, nor able to play for Europes top teams. I've got quite a few Italian FB friends who are Juve fans: I'll canvass opinion.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectisSaint Posted 4 May, 2014 Share Posted 4 May, 2014 I've got quite a few Italian FB friends who are Juve fans: I'll canvass opinion.. You might need to hep them out with a description, he hasn't played a full Serie A game since he joined, 3 starts and 5 subs, no goals, 1 assist and 1 yellow card. At least scored twice in the Europa League, maybe Trabspospor will have been impressed enough to take him off our hands. Seriously doubt he will be selected for Italy, and anyway do we want him to do well, since that would probably mean England losing against his side. 3 more years on his contract, think we have been shafted.

DuncanRG Posted 4 May, 2014 Share Posted 4 May, 2014 It's worth pointing out that there's no shame in struggling for games at Juventus. We wouldn't start Rickie Lambert if we had Tevez and Llorente in our team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectisSaint Posted 5 May, 2014 Share Posted 5 May, 2014 Rare start for Dani tonight, Juve stars mostly on the bench rested for their forthcoming WC games, having won the league already. Subbed after 65 minutes at 0-0, Juve take the lead 7 minutes later. Says it all really, he'll be back soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chez Posted 10 May, 2014 Share Posted 10 May, 2014 He will be here all summer. We need the funds to buy his replacement, but they won't materialise. In the end we will loan him out again. We won't get a fee and we might even have to pay some of his wages. The chairman will be wise to take almost any early offer IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least it's another club rather than just Juventus being linked. Diego Alves would be a very good signing, as would Victor Ruiz, who we've been linked with in the past. No idea how willing Valencia would be to let them go, though - and it would probably be us adding cash to the deal in Ruiz's case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skintsaint Posted 10 May, 2014 Share Posted 10 May, 2014 Can't see why he can't come back as according to all the press reports, all our team is leaving for other clubs so he won't have a problem with anyone PO will be sold early doors for about 7-8m in my opinion.

Verbal Kint Posted 10 May, 2014 Share Posted 10 May, 2014 Have to say it's pretty incredible that MP appears to be holding the board at ransom for a big transfer kitty this summer having spunked away 15 million on probably the worst signing the club has ever made in it's history. With the exception of a great finish against City he was utterly woeful and has shown no signs of improving on that at Juventus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cabrone Posted 10 May, 2014 Share Posted 10 May, 2014 I'd have him back, a very good striker but needs to sort his head out. If he could just knuckle down and show a little contrition I think he'd win the fans over fairly quickly. Question is can he? We aren't exactly overloaded in the striking department at the moment and it does seem odd to jettison a potentially very good player without seeing if he could be brought back into the fold.

SNSUN Posted 13 May, 2014 Share Posted 13 May, 2014 Can't help but feel he's cocked that up for himself. If he hadn't been such a nutcase, he'd have gone on to get a few more goals for us this season, and his place in the Italy set up wouldn't be in jeopardy. It's a shame that we'll suffer financially. Can anyone see him in a Saints shirt next season? Or has he burned his bridges with is well and truly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chez Posted 13 May, 2014 Share Posted 13 May, 2014 Can't see him in a Saints shirt, but also can't see him leaving until the 12th hour of the transfer window, and then only on loan, leaving us with no chance of using his wages on an alternative. I suspect we'll get no loan fee and have to pay some of his wages too. Nightmare scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
