St.Patrik Posted 14 August, 2013 Share Posted 14 August, 2013 If it´s money - a nice fat signing on bonus will do it - well at least to make his agent happy enough to tell the guy to sign the dotted line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olallana Posted 14 August, 2013 Share Posted 14 August, 2013 For me, this is the player that it would be worth to overpay a bit.... Perfect striker for our system and he knows the system and has thrived under it before.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSAINT Posted 14 August, 2013 Share Posted 14 August, 2013 For me, this is the player that it would be worth to overpay a bit.... Perfect striker for our system and he knows the system and has thrived under it before.... Agree. Plus Poch has managed him before so I'm not too bothered about his antics at Roma that have been reported. Players like Osvaldo & Banega are players that can take you up a level.

Give it to Ron Posted 14 August, 2013 Share Posted 14 August, 2013 So you dont think a Lambert with great speed would suit our needs? Where did I say we didn't? Just that I watched Bony a lot and for 12m would of been exactly what we were looking for. The guy has turned down us down and Wolfsburg? has a record of incidents....we had and still have better options than gambling on someone who doesnt want to come here.

dan abnormal Posted 14 August, 2013 Share Posted 14 August, 2013 Minarzouki: @Sachk0 Pochettino is all Southampton need to push for a top 8 place imo Whatever that last tweet means, i don't know? shes a big fan of pochettino - Mina Rzouki @Minarzouki 22 May If Pellegrini leaves Spain, as we expect, than La Liga has lost 3 of its best Coaches this yr: Pochettino, Pellegrini & Montanier would also love osvaldo to sign, excellent player who already knows the coach and his tactics. i also dont think he will need much of a "settling in" period due to the fact hes already worked with Mp before. much rather spend 18m on him than the 26m quoted for damiao (hes worth no way near that imo) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wade Garrett Posted 14 August, 2013 Share Posted 14 August, 2013 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.

And that he has turned us down before isn´t an issue IMO. It could be strategics from him to negotiate and get a better salary, I have done the same in the past with employers...

radio slave Posted 14 August, 2013 Share Posted 14 August, 2013 to me, this de rossi quote sounds like he's more likely off somewhere rather than staying with roma... De Rossi said he was unsure whether Roma team-mate Pablo Osvaldo - who has been linked with moves to Fulham and Southampton - would stay with the club. "I don't know if I'm optimistic or not on the Osvaldo situation," he said. "I'm his friend and I'm optimistic when I know he's happy, so if he's happy staying at Roma I'll be happy for him, but I'll be happy for him even if he prefers going to another team. "Roma would surely lose a very strong player without him and we would lose a great guy, a team-mate, a friend. "Anyway it's not my or your business, it's up to them to make this decision, I wouldn't like anyone to express their opinion on my future decisions so I don't do it for anyone. I really don't know what will happen." http://www.goal.com/en/news/10/italy/2013/08/14/4185307/de-rossi-saddened-by-messi-absence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkSFC Posted 14 August, 2013 Share Posted 14 August, 2013 Why are we continuing with this madness....he doesn't want to come here. There are better and more reachable targets...we should of gone for Bony, Vydra or even Defoe a different type of striker to what we have. You've spoken to him about it have you? Very likely he wants to see if there are better offers..which there are of course many, mainly those in the CL...BUT it does not mean he WILL NOT come here. Whoever ends up signing for us even if they wanted better is fine by me...they only ruin their career if they do not perform especially in WC year.

ollysaints1 Posted 14 August, 2013 Share Posted 14 August, 2013 Not particularly worried by interest from Benfica, I can't see the Portugese league being appealing to him. I'm not particularly fussed by interest from Inter Milan either, they have very little money to play with and I can't see them parting with €20,000,000.

Give it to Ron Posted 14 August, 2013 Share Posted 14 August, 2013 I don't understand why people go on about Bony. Why would we have been able to get him instead of Swansea? They've just won a cup, have a world famous manager, European football etc. To get better players at this stage we probably need to go after players Swansea can't afford. Why would Osvaldo come here? I go on about him because he IMo is exactly what we need. I watched him ..have you? How can we go after players Swansea can't afford...Bony was £12m...Osvaldo cost about £18m?

goneawol Posted 14 August, 2013 Share Posted 14 August, 2013 Update on a situation that we have followed in detail in recent days. The Southampton is making important steps to Osvaldo. It's a continuous pressure from the English club. The coach of Southampton Mauricio Pochettino Osvaldo put at the top of my wishlist. Pochettino knows the attacker since the time ofEspanyol. The club's optimism grows also because it would not be a problem to find an agreement with the person concerned and with Rome. The last word is, of course, the giallorosso club. http://www.microsofttranslator.com/BV.aspx?ref=IE8Activity&a=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.alfredopedulla.com%2Farticoli%2F27095-esclusiva-osvaldo-il-southampton-in-pressing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I'm saying it is a strange logic Give it to Ron is using. I have no idea what Osvaldo has or hasn't done. But turning down a wage offer, does not mean a player by default wouldn't be interested in a move, merely he isn't happy with that particular offer. It is a negotiation process.

As I have seen very little of Osvaldo I can't really answer that - just looking at whole package - number of clubs each has had, incidents, wages. Its not just Bony though I think we could of gone for other targets as well. TBH I made a bit of a cock up with Osvaldo and the not wanting to come here as along with that twitter I thought it was him that made the ambitious club statement but checked again and that was Damiao.
