sfc4prem Posted 12 August, 2013 Share Posted 12 August, 2013 Saw this. No idea if its reputable @MurrayGroves: Southampton are having secondary talks with Roma and Italy striker Pablo Osvaldo in view to increasing the players personal terms #saintsfc Well if we have gone back in for him it seems a credible statement.

trousers Posted 12 August, 2013 Share Posted 12 August, 2013 http://www.goal.com/en/news/1717/editorial/2013/08/12/4181326/will-the-real-roma-please-stand-up?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter Perhaps the biggest challenge for Garcia will be to handle the mercurial Pablo Osvaldo. There are no doubts about his talent. He is still in Italy’s plans for next year’s World Cup in Brazil and scored 17 goals in 31 games last season, but it’s his temperament and attitude that threaten to taint his career in the capital city. With no potential suitors for his signature, it would be of immense benefit for both the club and the player if he keeps his head down and concentrates on his game with a potential World Cup spot hanging in the air.

Manchester/London, UK Murray Groves @MurrayGroves This isn't rare, #SaintsFC would need to offer a more lucrative deal than previously offered by Wolfsburg. Look out Wednesday. Murray Groves @MurrayGroves The Osvaldo situation is not dissimilar to the Wanyama saga, just a case of a player holding out for a more lucrative deal. Roma can sell.

pangy Posted 12 August, 2013 Share Posted 12 August, 2013 If we are to beat the offer from Wolfsburg at £2.8mil a year we would be offering him £60k a week !!

I wonder if any of our players have a clause in the contract to match the wage of any player coming in higher than them?? Thats a Football Manager type of clause that dont exist in real football (or is extremely unusual at least). Not even Messi has it.... And it was €2.8m which make it a bit different but £60-70k is what we need to be ready to pay if we want players like this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if any of our players have a clause in the contract to match the wage of any player coming in higher than them?? Not necessarily so, many of the contracts now include performance related pay so it will be hard to judge what a player may get, partly why it takes time for a player to sign these days.

Turkish Posted 12 August, 2013 Share Posted 12 August, 2013 2.8m euros works out about £45k a week.

KelvinsRightGlove Posted 12 August, 2013 Share Posted 12 August, 2013 Doubt it... that sounds very FM to me. Possibly, though it wouldn't massively surprise me in the case of Gaston. He said he came to saints as he was effectively told the team would be built around him. I wouldn't be all that shocked if he did therefore have a clause that means he stays/matches the highest earner at the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For saying that we will have pay more than others to get him? Who disagree's with that sentiment?

jawillwill Posted 12 August, 2013 Share Posted 12 August, 2013 Hmmm. Reports are that Spurs are in for Lamela for £30m. Not sure if I can believe that one to be honest. Adam's been a great player for Saints and I think most of us are fond of him because he's come through our own ranks, but I can't see anyone paying £30m for him. More likely less than £7-8m would be my guess if true. Lets hope he stays loyal though as I've got a feeling he will be more effective this season than last.

Toon Saint Posted 12 August, 2013 Share Posted 12 August, 2013 Sounds like promising developments, though t'would be nice if Pablo came of his own accord. The Fulham link is a complete non-starter - well, Simon Peach said as much. They aren't willing to go anywhere near the price so have no clue why the Express keep making that link.

saint_disco123 Posted 12 August, 2013 Share Posted 12 August, 2013 from what I have seen in reports/tweets etc etc, he wouldn't MIND coming here its just seems he would like to hold out to see if a bigger club e.g arsenal/inter would take him on. its nearly the same situation as the lovren deal. Lyon hated lovren and couldn't wait to get rid of him but he was more then happy to join us but for Osvaldo, it might be a different story.
