hugh Posted 17 August, 2013 Share Posted 17 August, 2013 Osvaldo farther and farther from the capital. His absence in Terni is a clear signal that it is working for its[/color]disposal that seems straight. The Argentine striker seems to have opened at Southampton. Interesting that they now refer to him as the 'Argentine' striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saints1988 Posted 17 August, 2013 Share Posted 17 August, 2013 Has anyone seen Osvaldo's career stats? Fantastic goal scoring record, yet he only averages 23 games a season. The most he's ever played was 33 games, in 2005, his first year as a professional footballer. He has been sent of nine times in the last six years, also punched lamela in the face because he did not receive the ball from him in a match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skintsaint Posted 17 August, 2013 Share Posted 17 August, 2013 He has been sent of nine times in the last six years, also punched lamela in the face because he did not receive the ball from him in a match The two players had a tiff after the game and Lamela lobbed a bottle at him which he then punched him. You make is sound like he didnt get a pass from him and lumped him on the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nolan Posted 17 August, 2013 Share Posted 17 August, 2013 Oh sorry so he did punch his team mate or not? The guy does sound a bit nuts that's all I am trying to say From Football Italia "It is believed that Osvaldo was initially irritated in the dressing room after the match by Lamela ignoring his complaints about not passing to him and snapped, “I’m older than you and this is not River, answer as I speak.” The former River Plate youngster Lamela reportedly then responded, “Shut your mouth, you’re not Maradona.” At this point it is alleged that Osvaldo went for Lamela and gave him a slap - not a punch as has been originally suggested - before the pair pushed each other a few times prior to teammates intervening."

Toon Saint Posted 17 August, 2013 Share Posted 17 August, 2013 Probably worth shipping Mayuka out on loan when Pabz arrives as he's not going to get much game time. Would rather see Seager used as fourth choice striker. Kid has talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saints_is_the_south Posted 17 August, 2013 Share Posted 17 August, 2013 As I challenged Simon Peach to do, go and find reports of him causing problems at Espanyol under MP, or at Fiorentina or Bologna before that. I've tried, with no success. I support Roma, he's a great player and I'm convinced he'll be fine here under MP. The living atmosphere here in the Southampton area, compared to that of Rome, is well, incomparable. Really hope we pull It off. Could have stuff like this to enjoy...

Bananaman Posted 18 August, 2013 Share Posted 18 August, 2013 Can't believe people questioning his ability. My Mrs is Italian and we watch Italy as much as (if not more than) England. Osvaldo is a class above any striking option we have, consistently in the Italy squad ahead of some great players and a great goal scoring record for a good side in a very tough league.

I thought Ramirez was in about £38.5K, so Osvaldo will be more and almost certainly become our highest paid player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
