thesaint sfc Posted 2 September, 2016 Share Posted 2 September, 2016 I feel like we're still paying for this w*nker. If we hadn't signed him and Gaston, or if they had worked out to both be decent signings, I wonder how much more frivolous Kat would be with her cheque book? I feel like she's a very dilligent woman who takes a lot of convincing and these two signings set us back a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaston was worth the risk and it was a shame it didn't work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This basically. They can't all be Lovren/Mané/Lambert triple your money signings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eurosaint Posted 2 September, 2016 Share Posted 2 September, 2016 It was a mistake and Pochettino must surely take most of the blame as he had worked with him before and no doubt pushed the deal through !

Heisenberg Posted 2 September, 2016 Share Posted 2 September, 2016 This is the problem with our approach - buy low, sell high. Just takes a dud or two like Osvaldo and Gaston Ramieriz and boooom you've lost £50 million just like that!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osvaldo was an utterly bizarre episode. The blame has to lie with Cortese, doesn't it? Seems like it was his thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angelman Posted 2 September, 2016 Share Posted 2 September, 2016 I wouldn't go as far to say that it annoys me, but it is somewhat irksome that someone with obvious talent and the world at his feet just pîsses it away with a really crap attitude.

Some people really need.to ****ing grow up and stop believing the crap that is spouted by Turkish. If it was anything it was a Poch signimg, but in the end it was just as much a Les Reed signing as any other. Some times the Board got it wrong, though to be fair Osvaldo was still a very good player, just that he was a complete nutjob. Hooefully one day some.people will open their eyes and see that Uncke Les is just as capable of cocking.up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suhari Posted 2 September, 2016 Share Posted 2 September, 2016 We are good at rewriting history. There were plenty on here talking about how much they wanted to sign him, and many saying how amazing it was when we did. 2020 hindsight. Not all signings work out. If Juanmi had chinned Gape in training, would we be hating him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Juanmi had chinned Gape in training, would we be hating him? Yep. I was absolutely buzzing when we got him. Really thought he'd be a top signing because he'd worked with poch before. Sadly, nutting someone on the training ground never goes down well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petts Posted 2 September, 2016 Share Posted 2 September, 2016 His career nosedived not long after he left saints. Further supposed bust ups. Either he's not bothered about his waste of talent and the way he acted towards others, or one day he'll have alot of regrets.

shurlock Posted 3 September, 2016 Share Posted 3 September, 2016 (edited) Osvaldo was a Poch signing; just as previous and subsequent managers have had a large say in player transfers. The simple-minded on here really need to get over the southampton way, black box propaganda. We mix as much tradition as we do innovation in our recruitment methods. As should be the case for every transfer is different and no single approach is perfect. Edited 3 September, 2016 by shurlock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
