Why on earth do you feel sorry for him? He brought this entirely on himself, and is now playing for the biggest club in Italy. I'm sure he's just fine.
Henry Winter: "Those Dani Osvaldo Saints numbers in full: £15m fee, £900k wages, 166 days, 9 starts, 3 goals, 3 yellows 1 headbutt & 1 loan to Juve"
He has got exactly what he wanted...back in Italy. He's been here for 5 minutes and has started a punch up with an opposition coach, headbutted Fonte, and reportedly was involved in a training ruckus before (for which he was suspended and said to be injured). Not so surprising that the Roma fans hated him (luckily for him we are pussycats).
Regards us buying him, did we pay it all up front or stagger it over a similar number of years as is proposed should Juventus take up their option?
It won't have been up front, and some of it was performance-related (and therefore will never be paid), but most of it will still be due to Roma as per the original agreement.
Jim Lucas on Twitter: "Last one out of St Mary's. Another quiet #deadlineday done - now time to support a hungry, driven and united squad."
Glad to see the back of him...didn't come up to expectation and a troublemaker to boot. Hope he plays well for the, so that they buy him otherwise he will be back at SMS in the summer
Getting my calculator out and that equates to £37.5k a week or £100k a game(calculator not required). Ever since I can remember our Transfer record signings have failed
Wanyama was our one-time record signing, he hasn't failed. Same with Rodriguez. But yeah, the rest haven't been great.
Hahaha, apparently some Juve fans are upset that Osvaldo has taken Trezeguet's old number. He doesn't half attract trouble!
Quite a few Juventus fans seem concerned by this signing, think he may kick up a stink and unsettle a strong side.
