As it looks increasingly unlikely that there will be any ins. Are there any whispers of who it was that we were hoping to bring in?
Was some haggling over Osvaldo. Seems that Gareth Rogers has got Juventus to agree to pay all of Osvaldo's wages.
because Sterling is garbage yet still better than the alternatives. JWP would be a vast improvement. EDIT: Don't take that as me thinking the rumour has any substance. Can't see Liverpool bidding for him even though most of their players are vastly overhyped.
Juventus release statement confirming that Osvaldo has passed his medical: http://www.juventus.com/juve/en/news/osvaldo_medical
Well if that's the case he's done very well. What ever happened to Vucinic? He didn't go to Inter in the end did he? Just didn't fancy us? Sterling's looking pretty sharp at the moment to be fair. Can't shoot but apart from that, he looks a real handful.
Youngest squad in the league and cheapest to run (wages wise) when Osvaldo goes and no one else comes in? probably If the last third of the season goes well we will be in a very strong position come the summer.
Jason Puncheon has joined Crystal Palace and I'm hearing that Osvaldo might join Juventus. Ossie Ardiles spotted doing an advanced 4x4 course at Marchwood Gravel pits.
Very true. And because we have so little to play for (almost certainly finishing between 8th and 10th) it's a good time to conserve our resources for the summer and just use the rest of the season to give the likes of Gallagher and Targett some action instead of moving them back down the pecking order.
Cheers. Assuming that money is there to invest in the squad, it should be an exciting Summer transfer window. Disappointed with Osvaldo, was hoping for so much more from him, but at least the club have acted decisively and swiftly. Who's left of the, for want of a better word, dead wood? Is it just Forte and Barnard now?
Barnard's gone to Southend. Just Forte! Not exactly "Johnno quick" when he's heading for the exit door.
Forte's contract ends this summer, not that it matters one way or the other. It must be an odd feeling for him on those occasions when he turns up at St. Mary's to get his latest loan assignment. Does he even have an employee mailbox with the club? When they do Secret Santa, does his name go in the pot? Do the other players even know who he is or do they think maybe he's just the IT guy?
