Saint Daniel - confirmed!

[Mikey]

I'd just call that the natural anxiety of a Saints fan.

It's very possible, TSS.

I've comforted myself with knowledge of two things:

1) Osvaldo had a very happy time at Espanyol under Pochettino. They seem pretty chummy.

2) Many people among the Roma board, staff, players and fans seem to be royal twats.

Indeed, if it wasn't for Poche having coached him and got good quality out of him in the past I'd probably be losing my mind over this one. The atmosphere at Roma was definitely toxic, I think he will settle down here and don't see it as a huge issue, I don't think he'll be punching any of our players or really disgracing himself but his attitude could still be a more minor problem. Apart from anything I'm just not convinced he fits into the team, not necessarily formation wise but just as a player, I can't put that jigsaw together in my mind yet.

Talking of Twitter, according to SaintsWeb, Osvaldo's partner has just tweeted "Hello England!!"

Yep: https://twitter.com/baronjimena/status/369433720446406656

 

[Qwerty]

England tweets "hello, Osvaldo's partner"

Well, that's nice. Can't fault the geography. Perhaps we can get the Prime Minster to tweet back, Hello Italy..?

I was tempted,

Can't fault his taste.

Does anyone else think that, going by her background picture on twitter, she is what Osvaldo would look like with no facial her?... clearly fancies himself

He's just arrived at St. Mary's, out of a chauffeured car and into the reception to meet Cortese and Pochettino.

May come as a surprise but most people choose their partners to be as close to their appearance as possible. I don't know the details why, but it's generally true.

Sam Cunningham of the Daily Mail:

"I've been told the unfortunately due to other commitments Mauricio Pochettino will not be talking. But Daniel Osvaldo is still up #SaintsFC"

Yes, I know. I'm imagining you don't quite fit the Chinese/Jamaican facial profile, FLT.

As I said, it's a general truth. But not always.

Gordon Watson was talking to someone from Italy who he trusts last night on Twitter - she was saying (as we kinda know) that if we can keep Osvaldo concentrated on football he's a great talent and will get us 20+ goals a season. However he's drawn to temptation such as women, nightlife and booze. Nothing new really, but here's hoping MP can keep the lid on him. I'm personally very excited.

If MP has other commitments maybe he's in negotiations?

He's at St. Mary's.

Probably got a check-up at the dentist.

Doesn't look like your average footballer does he? Have to say the more I find out about his personality the more I'm warming to him. Seems a real character. Hopefully in a good way!
