    And he took a defender with him, too, or Adam may have been blocked.

    Well who knows. If I were them I would certainly try not to cover all of them, and they've basically got us over a barrel.

    Not reliable.

    People who can't pronounce simple words frustrate me so much. Just sound out each letter! I also don't understand why people apologise in case they pronounce a foreign sounding name wrong - I'm sure Fonte doesn't care that people mispronounce his name! My dad also calls Wanyama "Wanyaka"! <laugh>

    Well we've made it pretty clear we want rid of him, so that's not a great start.

    Can you explain how that works? If we want rid, and some money, and the only offer on the table is a free loan, how do we meet both of those objectives?

    Someone on Saintsweb has just posted a picture of Osvaldo arriving in Turin. There are loads of Juve supporters waiting for him.

    Disappointed people got to the RLGB foreigner comments before me, I'm normally right on the ball with that.

    Because you're working from a frankly unbelievable premise. If we were offering for ****ing free while covering all of his wages, or close to it, would there be just the one offer?

    They obviously want Osvaldo don't they? I'm not saying we won't have to make compromises. But I can't see us getting mugged off can you?

    Because he wants to go to Juventus.

    Oh yeah, thanks <laugh>

    They may want him but they don't need him half as much as we need rid of him.

    If you were any more pointlessly contrarian, you'd have a byline on slate.com. You have to realize that the assertion that Juve is not paying any of Osvaldo's wages is not one likely to be grounded in reality, surely.

    We'll have to see. I'm just saying that the option to buy means nothing, and letting Osvaldo go on loan and all Juventus has to do is cover his wages doesn't seem like a good deal to me and we would have to be super desperate to get rid of him. Though perhaps given the situation, that's truly the best move.

    But maybe we are getting some kind of fee, or maybe we have a good player coming in to replace him so not paying his wages is all we need. I'm not doubting Saints, just saying that transfer rumor if true is a little disappointing.

    Don't need in your view, which is a different view of their manager so it seems.
