sandwichsaint Posted 31 January, 2015 Share Posted 31 January, 2015 I'm with you ART! Although I think I'd take it further - I wouldn't be at all surprised if this went on for the next 70-80 years. If he comes back now, surely everyone else in the club would want out immediately giving Dani free reign of the club. He could make himself player manager, and nobody would dare question it. Katarina would probably be forced to hand over the club to him and he would be able to sign his own army of loonies to play for us and create a legacy which could take decades to undo. He will probably get in a fight the Ted Bates statue before tearing it down and replacing it with one of himself. After all the good work that the club have done in the past few years, this could bring it all crashing down again. It's worryingly like Germany just before Hitler turned up. Look on the bright side - free train travel to Europa league games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SarniaSaint Posted 1 February, 2015 Share Posted 1 February, 2015 Don't worry guys..........he will be gone soon and with the loan payments........... with a small financial loss to the club. Same that will happen with Ramirez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Bones Posted 1 February, 2015 Share Posted 1 February, 2015 If he was a car I'd drive him into a lamp post and claim the insurance money. Well we do have Elia at the club now - I hear he is pretty good at that Honestly Southampton FC needs its own TV show... Never a dull moment at this club.

angelman Posted 2 February, 2015 Share Posted 2 February, 2015 My worry is that no club will want him Well, fortunately we are a slightly better situation financially than we once were (not that I am advocating letting players go for free) and might have to take a hit. IF no one took him, I suspect that we would be within our rights to cancel his contract. I'm not one for suing players (and not sure whether there would be grounds anyway).

Bewildered Posted 2 February, 2015 Share Posted 2 February, 2015 My worry is that no club will want him From what has been reported in Italy since he ruined his chances at Inter, it seems clubs have wanted him, but Osvaldo considers himself too good for the likes of Genoa and Torino and won't accept a move to anywhere but Juve or AC Milan.

benjii Posted 2 February, 2015 Share Posted 2 February, 2015 Bring him back If and its a big if he scored 15 goals that fired us to the CL you lot would all be sucking him off Fickle as f&*k Such a stupid comment. You are looking at the situation backwards. Yes, if he came back and did brilliantly people would rightly applaud him for turning the situation round. There's nothing fickle about that. But the only way he's going to do that (and it's complete fantasy to think he's good enough to score fifteen goals in fifteen games) is if he shows contrition, apologises and reforms himself. Seeing as he shows no sign of wanting or being able to do either, people don't want him back because he is likely to do more harm than good. Nothing fickle about that. Thick as *!@$.

Patrick Bateman Posted 2 February, 2015 Share Posted 2 February, 2015 Do you think Fonte and the rest of the squad are fickle? Who knows, they may have made up? No one really knows, it could just be certain people at the club who don't want Osvaldo there. Some times you have to weight up squad harmony vs getting the job done.

He is also well capable of getting sent off and dropping us in the crap, capable of attacking his own team mates and opposing sides coaching staff and also capable of going missing without leave. The bloke is a lunatic and a liability and will do us more harm than good, not that I've seen him produce much good apart from one goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No we should keep him and try to get him to score a goal or two for us, if we have to pay him anyway I'd hope we'd not be stupid or arrogant enough to put him on garden leave when we're desperate for a bit of variety in attack on occasions.

Chez Posted 2 February, 2015 Share Posted 2 February, 2015 (edited) Worth loaning him out for decent loan fees and wages paid, then sell him at £5m or something. Means we "lose money", but we actually make a fair bit back of the £12.8m spent. I seriously doubt we have been getting any sort of loan fee for Osvaldo. Juve and Inter will have been paying wages only and I suspect no all of them either. The buying/loaning club have had us over a barrel both times, knowing we wanted shot and were unable to have him in the Saints changing room. We will lose millions on this fella unless we can get him to a half decent club where he is paying every week and he bangs in a shed load of goals - thereby creating interest and a possible transfer fee. Otherwise we'll just keep on paying his wages between loans until his contract eventually runs out. No wonder ST prices keep going up.

angelman Posted 2 February, 2015 Share Posted 2 February, 2015 O seriously doubt we are getting any sort of loan fee. I suspect also that we are paying some of his wages too. The buying/loaning club have has us over a barrel knowing we wanted shot and unable to have him in the changing room. We will lose millions on this fella unless we can get him to a half decent club where he is playing every week and he bangs in a shed load of goals. I think it isn't as simple as that. A buying club would still have us over a barrel unless there were at least 2 clubs willing to buy him, and that seems a little optimistic. And then to complicate it even more, Mr Osvaldo seems rather determined to only go where he wants to go. So, if no one wants him, we have to take him back as he is contracted to us. If he refuses, then that might be good as we could sue him for breach of contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Window Cleaner Posted 2 February, 2015 Share Posted 2 February, 2015 I would welcome him back . Pelle needs competition In fact having looked at yesterday's game again I'd be happy to see him back because Pellé doesn't get onto half of the chances that our wide men create, he's just not where he needs to be when he needs to be. He's a target man 20 yds out but he's no sniffer dog in the box. We need better to maximise the work the wide men are doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
