Bewildered Posted 18 August, 2013 Share Posted 18 August, 2013 Gianluca Di Marzio @ dimarzio 7m Osvaldo, farewell Airport: Southampton one step http:// fb.me/1zsLqFTDn Meaning ?? article google translates to Pablo Daniel Osvaldo is ready to say goodbye to Italy. The Italo-Argentine striker, who has not played yesterday against Ternana officially for a muscle strain, is a step away from Southampton. We told you about the opening of the player to the destination English, and even today it is working to find a final agreement. Now the parts are close, the signals are positive. And yesterday the fans of Southampton sang several choruses in favor of Osvaldo, a clear sign of how the square can be pleased with her purchase. It goes on, even today. Osvaldo moves away from Rome.

S-Clarke Posted 18 August, 2013 Share Posted 18 August, 2013 http://www.football-italia.net/38485/report-osvaldo-accepts-saints Reports are pouring in that Roma striker Pablo Daniel Osvaldo has agreed a transfer to Southampton.The Italy international – who was born and raised in Argentina – had been reticent to accept amid interest from Tottenham and Inter. According to several different Italian media sources, including the Corrieredello Sport and Sky Sport Italia, Osvaldo was convinced to accept by a series of phone calls with Saints manager Mauricio Pochettino. Roma had already agreed a transfer fee worth around €18m with the Premier League side. He was left out of the 2-1 friendly win over Ternana on Saturday, officially due to a muscular problem, but many believe it was to allow him further negotiations. Osvaldo has been repeatedly criticised by the Roma fans and this week posted on Twitter a picture of more abusive graffiti left outside his home. “How sad,” he wrote.

From his espanyol days- his stock has gone up since then and he's showed at Roma he can play in several positions where he often came off the wing.
