Suhari Posted 2 September, 2016 Posted 2 September, 2016 We are good at rewriting history. There were plenty on here talking about how much they wanted to sign him, and many saying how amazing it was when we did. 2020 hindsight. Not all signings work out. If Juanmi had chinned Gape in training, would we be hating him?

If Juanmi had chinned Gape in training, would we be hating him? Yep. I was absolutely buzzing when we got him. Really thought he'd be a top signing because he'd worked with poch before. Sadly, nutting someone on the training ground never goes down well.
Gemmel Posted 2 September, 2016 Posted 2 September, 2016 He was most certainly not a black box signing, this one was 100% down to Cortese. Indeed - More black book, than black box
petts Posted 2 September, 2016 Posted 2 September, 2016 His career nosedived not long after he left saints. Further supposed bust ups. Either he's not bothered about his waste of talent and the way he acted towards others, or one day he'll have alot of regrets. Sent from my HTC 10 using Tapatalk
S4INT Posted 3 September, 2016 Posted 3 September, 2016 As has been said, that Man City goal though *drools*. That's what football is about.
shurlock Posted 3 September, 2016 Posted 3 September, 2016 (edited) Osvaldo was a Poch signing; just as previous and subsequent managers have had a large say in player transfers. The simple-minded on here really need to get over the southampton way, black box propaganda. We mix as much tradition as we do innovation in our recruitment methods. As should be the case for every transfer is different and no single approach is perfect. Edited 3 September, 2016 by shurlock
Pass the Dutchie Posted 13 April, 2017 Posted 13 April, 2017 The Argentina-born Italian endured a turbulent spell on the south coast but Osvaldo, now the lead singer of a band, will be long remembered for this strike https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2017/apr/13/golden-goal-dani-osvaldo-for-southampton-v-manchester-city-2013
Lighthouse Posted 13 April, 2017 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.
HKsaint Posted 14 April, 2017 Posted 14 April, 2017 With the benefit of hindsight, I would have kicked out Fonte, instead of this talent.
S-Clarke Posted 14 April, 2017 Posted 14 April, 2017 With the benefit of hindsight, I would have kicked out Fonte, instead of this talent. What talent? He had very little from what I saw, hot headed, average football player.
saintadam Posted 14 April, 2017 Posted 14 April, 2017 With the benefit of hindsight, I would have kicked out Fonte, instead of this talent. Kick out a player that was an integral part of our success, very valuable to the team and instead keep a nutcase. Wow.

benjii Posted 14 July, 2018 Posted 14 July, 2018 Are you sure it wasn't Johnny Depp? 110% mate. Have you seen him round too?
Lighthouse Posted 14 July, 2018 Posted 14 July, 2018 Just seen him in West Quay. 5Guys. Who were the other 4?
Micky Posted 14 July, 2018 Posted 14 July, 2018 Mick, Keith and two others.The stones. Sent from my SM-T580 using Tapatalk
Miltonaggro Posted 14 July, 2018 Posted 14 July, 2018 Second coming, solve our striker problem and he can’t jump high enough to nut our new centre half. Black box has clearly computed that now is optimum time.

Black box has clearly computed that now is optimum time. I would pay to watch that idiot try and start a fight with Jannik. Anyway, I'd bet my car that Osvaldo wasn't in Five Guys in West Quay. Probably some other wannabe hipster rock star with a man bun and paedo beard.

beatlesaint Posted 15 July, 2018 Posted 15 July, 2018 Was he wearing his John & Yoko "Give Peace A Chance" t-shirt that he modeled the day he signed ? Bloody ironic really as peace seemed the thing furthest from his mind !

VectisSaint Posted 17 February, 2020 Posted 17 February, 2020 Osvaldo returns http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51536036
Lighthouse Posted 17 February, 2020 Posted 17 February, 2020 I wouldn't sign him but I would bring him back and just let his loose, sort of feral around the city.
Useful Idiot Posted 18 February, 2020 Posted 18 February, 2020 His music was pretty boring to be honest, sort of a like a cheap Stones rip off with a bit of a New Orleans feel tacked on uncomfortably here and there. I'm not surprised he returned to playing football if that was the best he could come up with.

Manuel Posted 27 January, 2022 Posted 27 January, 2022 Ha Ha, just been listening. "Much Disorder" comes up first on Youtube. Difficult to translate the rest of the track. I guess it's about his contribution to the dressing room.
LVSaint Posted 27 January, 2022 Posted 27 January, 2022 I was more interested in the story next to it - Aymeric Laporte shows off sickening gash caused by Stuart Armstrong's 'yellow' tackle Yellow? Stuart needs to get that seen to by a doctor. 2

Stuart needs to get that seen to by a doctor. Yeah saw that. Not like the Star to over sensationalise things is it. It's a stud mark FFS. The kind of thing that I would describe as a "sickening gash" is not repeatable on here. 1
Le Timmier Posted 28 January, 2022 Posted 28 January, 2022 (edited) "The 36-year-old resembles a Jack Sparrow lookalike with his long curly hair, unique goatee-style beard" "(He) is almost unrecognisable from his time as a Premier League striker." He looks exactly the bloody same!! Edited 28 January, 2022 by Le Timmier Removed word

It is but with Osvaldo you can’t help but wonder how many of his problems could have been averted but not acting like a monumental w*nker his whole life. He probably wouldn’t feel half as empty and lonely if he hadn’t spent the best years of his life getting women pregnant, walking out on them and apparently having nothing to do with the kids. 1
Saint_clark Posted 16 March, 2024 Posted 16 March, 2024 It is sad, but it's very easy to not care about money and just lock yourself away when you have enough of it to never have to worry about rent or bills being unpaid.
Miltonaggro Posted 16 March, 2024 Posted 16 March, 2024 Shame, as the man has a huge amount of ability and drive. Could have been a top, top player. The black dog has no respect for money or fame. Hope he finds his tribe and a way through. 3
bangkoksaint Posted 16 March, 2024 Posted 16 March, 2024 Make no mistake depression can affect anyone and having money and/or prestige is no barometer as to whether you’ll suffer. No matter what his past ‘failings’ may be I hope he comes out the other side and can lead a fruitful and productive life. 5
Ted Bates Statue Posted 16 March, 2024 Posted 16 March, 2024 Any excuse to post this again. Sorry for the facebook link but the other media available seem to either be sullied by a shit soundtrack or the picture quality similar to that of a potato. https://www.facebook.com/southamptonfc/videos/osvaldo-nets-a-stunner-against-man-city/1529447253735156/ 1
Cabrone Posted 18 March, 2024 Posted 18 March, 2024 You can have all the talent in the world but if your head isn't right it's not worth a thing. I hope for his sake he can figure his way out. 1

It's a bit of a chicken/egg situation though. His behaviour may have been a symptom of his mental health condition, whatever it is 5
Lighthouse Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/40501741/dani-osvaldo-intensive-care-lung-operation/ This doesn't sound to good. Whilst he clearly isn't a popular figure at St Mary's, I hope he pulls through this alright. 6
