His severance pay from us must have helped him with that decision :)

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.

It doesn't matter who's in charge, in any business any losses you make somehwere have to be compensated by the gains.

Osvaldo was and is a complete côck and shouldn't have been signed. Gaston was worth the risk and it was a shame it didn't work out.

This basically. They can't all be Lovren/Mané/Lambert triple your money signings.

[eurosaint]

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 !

I can't believe for a moment that he was a 'black box' purchase !

[Gunnery]

He was a massive bellend but that goal v Man City when he put Kompany on his arris was A1 !

That was a peach, did think bloody hell we might have something here ... alas all we had was a prize A d**khead!

Dani Osvaldo, scorer of the greatest goal by a Saints player at St Marys

[Heisenberg]

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!!

Plenty better, Cuco for example.

what else?

Delap was a corker

Delap was a corker

 

Baird vs. Cardiff.

Vignal vs. Leicester

Pelle vs. QPR

Lallana vs. Hull

Lallana vs. Newcastle

Beattie vs. Arsenal

Skacel vs. Yeovil

Thomas vs. Ipswich

Tadanari vs. Derby

 

Plus any number of Lambert and Bale free kicks.

I don't want her to be 'frivolous' with her money, particularly.

 

Osvaldo was an utterly bizarre episode. The blame has to lie with Cortese, doesn't it? Seems like it was his thing.

Walcott v Luton was a beauty too

Good shout.

 

Think Guly scored a corker against Blackpool in the cup once.

Vergini has to be up there for the Lolz I think.

[angelman]

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.

He was most certainly not a black box signing, this one was 100% down to Cortese.

FFS. 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.

As we are about to see.

Well somebody must have wanted him desperately.

[Suhari]

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?

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.

Indeed - More black book, than black box

[petts]

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.

As has been said, that Man City goal though *drools*.

That's what football is about.

[shurlock]

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.
