saint lard

He looks a right mentalist.....but bloody lovely to see him,someone of that calibre wearing that shirt(well if it was stripes).

Never in a million years,hence he was shown the door...he served his purpose,like Pardew.....but was never a long term acquisition in Corteses eyes. plus he didn't help himself at times.

Fantastic. It appears Pochettino did a lot to help get him in. Exactly what he was installed at Saints for. Brilliant stuff. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

Pochetitino will be our Sir Alex Feguson. Great new additions,the academy will get stronger,the incumbent players have and will improve. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

@tancredipalmeri: Osvaldo's gf replied on twitter attacking the fans who abused, and then posting a pic where she gave the middle finger She seems quite a feisty young lady. I sense some entertainment from these two,if he joins.

@tancredipalmeri: Southampton's target Osvaldo targeted again by abuses by Roma fans, who wrote on sidewalk in front of his house 'Osvaldo piece of s...'

and what he told me came to fruition....didn't it. Mmm,wind up merchant....I broke the Guly signing ....I told what Pearce said to me which proved right....Adkins was gone and not overly liked. hey,what the hell...enjoy fellas. you carry on just acknowledging what you want to hear....not what you should hear.

Lamela was always our first choice him and Banega. not saying Osvaldo wasn't an option,just...a little down the pecking order. as Meatloaf would say..'two out of three ain't bad'...for you older people out there. hold your breath,and your nerve,I think little old saints are attempting something bloody good in the transfer market.

We've even gone back in for Erik Lamela....which may confuse the issue. not that we ever lost interest in Lamela. who would you choose?

Puncheon really does deserve a run in the side when the season starts. he wasn't used enough in the past. Always offers something different to the side.

That's what I thought,so MP knows exactly what he would be getting in Osvaldo.....he can't be that put off after seemingly persuing him at great lengths. it seems only at Roma he has shown himself to be a bit troublesome,I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. i feel he would be the perfect addition. he wants the spotlight,be seen as the star...he may well get that at SFC.......well,as perceived by him. this possible addition could be the exact thing that will bring the best out of Gaston.....otherwise Gaston may not show his true potential in a saints shirt for sometime. Osvaldo and Ramirez could be a match made in heaven....for both of them.

Did Pochettino work with him at Espanyol?

Did we not sell him the 'project'...... http://www.football-italia.net/37599/agent-damiao-napoli-ruined-sponsors

I didn't realise the transfer window was shut.

Torres to us,once they get Rooney,would come as no surprise to me.

brilliant....after seeing that it just reminds me how fortunate I was not part with £5. so many idiots on this forum now. Adkins really made some ****e acquisitions ...face up to it.

Another stunning Adkins aquisition.

My twitter feed is showing a lot of 'we have signed Damiao'.......I'd be amazed if this went under the radar,from a fairly credible source. some media sources would have found out surely.

Reports state he was initially out of the side tonight...that has now changed...bugger.

Banega is not in the Valencia squad for tonight's friendly. anyone got a legitimate reason why?....injury,extended break before returns to training?....in talks with another club?

This is a fantastic signing,always been impressed when watching him. i know it's only the Scottish league but he stood head and shoulders above the European opposition he faced also. bloody chuffed we got him. really surprised others besides Cardiff didnt make a move. if he fulfills his potential with us circa £12m will prove a bargain.

If we made significant signings,like the ones mentioned.....we could come 3rd,...but otherwise,we could finish anywhere. but lets be realistic,anything 10 th or above I would be impressed.. to stay up and I would be happy.

Possibility of reducing frattons capacity due to safety concerns,quelle surprise.....shouldn't effect the attendances really,considering.... http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/pompey/fratton-park-capacity-could-be-reduced-1-5253313
