Koeman interview today: "Gaston was not 100% physical to come to Holland and I prefer every player who goes on camp to be available for training and playing, and both players (Gaston and Gardos [knee operation]) weren't available"

BENFICA EYE EX-SAINT

 

Benfica will rival Real Betis for the signature of former Southampton striker Dani Osvaldo, reports A Bola.

 

Osvaldo, the Italy international, is available on a free transfer after his contract at St Mary’s was terminated by the Saints earlier this month.

 

The 29-year-old’s agent recently revealed that Betis have been in touch to enquire about signing the Argentina-born hitman, but A Bola says the newly promoted La Liga club will now face competition from Portuguese giants Benfica, who want him to reinforce their attack.

Seems crazy that some clubs would be interested in him after the trouble he's caused over the last few years at numerous other clubs. I know some do with troublesome younger players as it might still be worth it but he's no spring chicken anymore so why even bother?

Taraabt and Osvaldo. Wow, Benfica want to regress into anarchy then. If that happens, they'll finish way behind Sporting and Porto.

I suppose that every club thinks they " can change a player " - but it seldom works. There should be a " Troublemakers Anonymous " for the Osvaldo's of this world.

 

You'd think that any club paying that sort of salary, to someone who has that sort of problem would book him regular sessions with a shrink to help sort him out.

So Ronald has said that apart from Frazer and Florin, everybody is fit for Vitesse.

No sign of Ramirez in the training, so where is he? Surprised the media didn't ask the question at the press conference.

 

Maybe the written press got some news snippets for later.

Surprised? The media at these press conferences are so seemingly unable to ask anything remotely interesting, it would be a major shock if they asked something like this.

@SimonPeach: Ronald Koeman says Emmanuel Mayuka has no future at #SaintsFC & has suggested Gaston Ramirez's future is far from certain.

 

@SimonPeach: Koeman: "We have enough strikers & for Mayuka there is no future in the club. There is some contact with Les Reed about him"

 

@SimonPeach: Koeman on Ramirez: "The future is difficult because Gaston has had a lot of injuries in the last two years & that's the big problem"

 

@SimonPeach: Koeman on Ramirez: "We had a good hope for pre-season but after one week he was injured again. He didn't travel to Austria or Holland"

 

@SimonPeach: Koeman on Ramirez: "It's difficult because the rest of the players are in good shape. You come from behind & the past is not very positive"

I would imagine that his contract was ripped up and no further payments made by Saints, in exchange for his registration. All in all, he probably cost us the basic transfer fee (he didn't do a lot to trigger add-ons ) and two years wages minus loan fees .

PA reported that his total cost to Saints was £25m.

 

If you were to presume ~£13m of that was his transfer fee, he costs Saints (net of income for loan fees etc.) around a further £12m for wages and his severance agreement.

 

An absolute disaster in retrospect.

It was a disaster waiting to happen from the start, saints was never going to be a big enough club for his ego & he only signed for us as a temporary stepping stone, the club was also well aware of his temperament & history of being a diva, so why did they think he was suddenly going to change for us?

Yes, a curious signing. It makes you wonder who was the driving force behind it.

Koeman: "The future is very tough here for Gaston in Southampton"

 

Cheerio !

 

Is that a very recent saying? Still think it's a case of us knowing people want him, and us giving him a squad number so that we aren't seen overtly as not wanting him all the time having no intention of keeping him.

From today's press conference at Vitesse.
