I think Gallagher is off on loan, reed keeps saying our young players are in demand and I can honestly see Gallagher having an impact like bamford.

So no news on Gaston then? Is he actually injured or have him and Gardos gone AWOL on the continent??

 

No, FG is in the UK.

Posted
Gardos has the no 5 shirt so make of that what you will!
That he kept his shirt from last year and he's hoping to impress and get in the first team.

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.

Posted

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.

Both Reed and RoKo have said before this week we maybe need 1-2 players in this transfer window and it's now changed to 2-3 I would suggest gaston is on his way out

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.

He's still getting linked with Bologna

Posted

If we want to sell him to someone we know has interest, then the obvious thing to do it give him a squad number and say that he is part of the plans.

@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"

just been reported on Portugal TV news that Osvaldo has signed for Betis, and good luck to them, they will need it.

I read today he was pictured arriving in Portugal 'with his guitar' to sign for Porto..?

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.

Posted

I dare say the PA figure is a worse case scenario, as the facts of the matter are probably only know by a few people in the inner circle of both camps.

Posted

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.

Posted

Well , whatever the reason he signed for us, he missed the World Cup because of his ar$ing about, so a small comfort to be taken.

Posted

Dani is slowly running out of countries to f*ck up in.

 

I'm thinking Turkey might be next on his mayhem tour.

 

who is osvaldos replacement btw?

 

Shane Long was, I think.

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.
