Will Koeman Give Osvaldo Another Chance?

[sadoldgit]

Are we all assuming Fonte will be here next season? Osvaldo is nuts but he's our nuts. Unless we can sell him for 10m plus we should play him. He's a better option than SG, at the moment.

 

You can imagine people in Germany in the 30s saying of Hitler, "He's a meglomanic psychopath but he's our meglomaniac psychopath." The bloke's reputation preceded him but stll we spent a fortune (by our standards) on a player that should be nowhere near our club. Pochettino did a lot of good things for us. This was not one of those things.

I don't think there's facepalm enough for this post...

They Both Started Well But Ran Out Of Gas

Osvaldo has already stated that he doesn't want to play for us and the club isn't big enough for him so what's the point?

 

Has he? Must have missed that, where did you see it?

[Graffito]

He'll give him another chance to **** off back to Italy.

Why is that? The principle is exactly the same. Surely if the bloke is a nutter is doesnt make the slighest bit of difference where he is, he is still a nutter. The fact that he is "with" us rather than against is supposed to make it okay???

Inside the tent p*ss*ng out rather than outside the tent p*ss*ng in. Trouble was he was p*ss*ng inside the tent.

It's not about where he is, it's what he's done. I think Le Goddard is taking account Osvaldo's actions when he made his statement.

 

If you think that Osvaldo's behaviour is comparable to Hitler's seizure of power, invasion of about seven European countries, support for Franco in Spain, eugenics, violent persecution of jews, homosexuals and others, along with anything else that springs to mind then yes, the principle is the same. But that would make you a complete idiot.

hitler would've nutted fonte too, were he presented the opportunity

But he didn't. That's the main point here. We're just dragging his name through the mud comparing him with Osvaldo.

Mussolini and Osvaldo would have been a fairer comparison. Too many posters are ready to string people up for one mistake.

Word. sadoldgit owes hitler an apology IMO

Did he not move to the uk after the war and change his name to Hilter or am I confusing reality with Monty Python???

[buctootim]

Talking of which, how come Hitler doesn't jive in my avatar? Someone nutted it?

Austrian's may have said that but Germans? Probably not.
