Any news on Osvaldo?

Sorry, I missed the above post. Good point well made.

Footballers aren't the only people who move jobs because of money.

Its professional football, not the f*cking Tyro League. So what.

11pm announcement just to annoy the Echo?

And presumably, the increase in wages we've offered.

Maybe, but maybe he was turning us down previously because the wages weren't right. F*cked if I know.

Cheers, not as over as I thought then.

Is this a recent development?

It does seem unlikely now. The club should move forward with other targets.

Still odds on with SkyBet.

Left-back.

Story in The Sun could have been planted so punters use SkyBet to back it happening.

I reckon he'd fit right in to our style of play.

I think they're reporting that The Sun reported it.

Defoe, still got plenty of goals left in him.

Quite precise with the wages offered. Looks to me like he's trying to squeeze us. Think his agent has been using his media contacts this past 24 hours. If the stories are true, Cortese will walk away from this deal at the end of today. Big game of bluff going on at the moment.

Rickie played a bit last season behind Rodriguez, so the position isn't a new one for him.

Hope the club have a plan B to fall back on.

Decent post. Trawling through troll sh*t is part of the SaintsWeb experience these days.

I don't think Cortese will let this drag until the end of the window, in case it fails, then he's up the creek without an alternative. By the sound of it, he's offered good money to the lad. Now, I reckon it's a take it now or leave it job. Playing for Italy tonight, so no deal today, but an answer tomorrow.

I reckon we'll walk away from the deal if it's not done this week.

Wayne Bridge.

I don't think we'll wait much longer.

It's reliable.
