Being a Southampton AND Boca supporter is being very difficult for me on this Osvaldo thing.
As a Boca fan I'm loving every minute of it. He looks happy. And is playing really well.
About that article, his future was NEVER in doubt. He is absolutely loved by the supporters, he has everybody in his pocket. He talked about being a Boca fan growing up, dreaming with this moment, talked about Boca pasts leyends, etc. Plus, when he arrived the country he landed with this shirt:
It was clearly a joke on Boca's heated rivals, River Plate- Boca had just beaten them 5-0 on a pre-season game. Those derbys are taken VERY seriously, pre-season or not. River fans automatically started hating the lad for this
But as Southampton fan, well... I just want him back.
In my opnion, he is way more talented than Pelle, we desperately need him up front.
I know he is a headache for every manager, but, it's just comes with the packet. Me personally, I just want to win. And we need someone like him.
Here is the thing: Boca could survive without Osvaldo, I think Southampton needs him more than Boca actually. Boca also has young striker Jonathan Calleri, who is being rumoured to be going to Arsenal. And Carlos Tevez is coming back to Boca next year.
So I love that he is playing for us in, but when the loan ends, please, let him come back. Or... let Boca keep Osvaldo and get Calleri before Arsenal does.
This is what this Calleri lad can do. Scored this beauty two weeks ago.
