Bearsy Posted 13 May, 2014 Share Posted 13 May, 2014 Definitely not in their 30 then, neither is that other red herring that we're always supposed to be signing. what's that, Osvaldo didn't make the cut no? What A Shame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Convict Colony Posted 13 May, 2014 Share Posted 13 May, 2014 what's that, Osvaldo didn't make the cut no? What A Shame It's got to be gutting when you forsake your Argentinian heritage cos you know your not good enough for the Italian team due to a small bit of Italian sailor jizz landing in the wrong place and still can't get in the team. The argies are always claiming the Falklands so can we not claim Argentina ? Dunno about you but think they have a few good players England could use.

Saint Paul C Posted 13 May, 2014 Share Posted 13 May, 2014 Any others hoping for a Punch style Bad Boy come good? Yep. I'm one. I'd like to see a little more character in our team. We've got some great players but a touch on the grey side if you get what I mean. Players like Dani and Artur add some much needed colour to the side. I think we need to put what happened behind us and work out how we can get him to fit better. The guy gas talent and hopefully a desire to show the world what he can do.

Osvaldo doesn't do humility, and that will forever be his achilles heel. That, rather than his talent level, is why he's not going to Brazil. As I said early in this thread, Italy would be crazy to include someone with a more than 50% chance of damaging squad harmony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said early in this thread, Italy would be crazy to include someone with a more than 50% chance of damaging squad harmony. I thought they included Super Mario, 99% chance of damaging squad harmony, but I guess also high percent chance of contributing to the team as well.

CanadaSaint Posted 15 May, 2014 Share Posted 15 May, 2014 I thought they included Super Mario, 99% chance of damaging squad harmony, but I guess also high percent chance of contributing to the team as well. Balotelli, for the most part, was popular with teammates - even if they were occasionally frustrated with his antics. Osvaldo, on the other hand, aims his venom at his own people and has caused internal trouble at several clubs. But you're right, the "is he worth the bother" question is much more easily resolved in Balotelli's case because he's far more likely to add than subtract value.

corsacar saint Posted 18 May, 2014 Share Posted 18 May, 2014 I know that Juventus clinched the title a few weeks ago, but hopefully Osvaldos late, late winner away to runners up Roma, will push his value up a little more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK he's worth 4 and 8 pence now then instead of 4 bob. Our best hope is shifting him to Valencia whilst their new owner doesn't mind losing a few bob on big names with dodgy characters.

VectisSaint Posted 18 May, 2014 Share Posted 18 May, 2014 And it was last week, did come on as sub today though for 30 minutes, but unfortunately did not score. Guess that means that as Serie A has now finished he will be winging his way back to Southampton to meet up with his mates at Marchwood or St Mary's. He should get a warm welcome, from everyone there. Or does it mean he will go away somewhere and have a nice holiday first. Either way, the Club has some work to do now, either getting shot or re-integrating him into the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Billy Posted 18 May, 2014 Share Posted 18 May, 2014 If he comes back he needs to shave that damn scruffy beard off and get a hair cut. New start new image. Perhaps then less fiddling with hair bands and beard nets and more concentration on whats happening on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lighthouse Posted 13 April, 2017 Share Posted 13 April, 2017 Strangely, I had a dream about him a couple of nights ago. We were 1-1 away to Juve in a European tie and brought him on as a sub. He scored the winner then ran around the pitch waving his car keys in the face of Juve players, telling them all he was rich and had a nice car.
