Krueger says he will be talking to Dani at the end of the season...now that could be interesting. I wonder if he is going to try to get him back on board.
First I read that as "on THE board" and it was a much funnier proposition. Dani Osvaldo - Head of Human Resources
Well it will be interesting if they offer him a second chance. I guess should be up to the first team whether they are willing to aswell.
I suspect that Dani really wants to be back in Italy, but he is under contract and I suppose it will depend on any offers for him. It may yet suit him to return...tempers have probably cooled by now.
It would certainly suit us from a footballing perspective as we so desperately need a striker, but no, I don't think it suits either him or the other players on a psychological level.
If he comes back and makes an effort I'm sure they'll get over it. If there is more to it than just the fight (as I suspect there probably is), then I doubt he will be back.
I don't think he's even remotely interested in doing so. I may be entirely wrong, but that's the impression I've got/made/invented!
I don't think that there's such a thing as a heart-to-heart capable of causing a person to stop being a hot-headed idiot. Even if people put this latest thing behind them, I find it hard to believe that it will be the last time Dani loses his temper and/or mind.
There are techniques to learn to think before acting...anger management....but you have to want to. I'm not convinced Dani would feel he had to do it. I think his problem is having a hot temper combined with an overweaning sense of his own rightness.
It in a nutshell really. The players all say how close they are...probably don't want this harmony disturbed. However, a player (Cork?) said he had no problem with Dani, so perhaps it's a few of the senior players who didn't like his attitude...that could have been what lead up to the headbutt incident. I can imagine trouble when a new kid on the block dares to challenge the status quo where a few players consider themselves top dogs. Sometimes an irritant in an oyster produces a pearl...but perhaps not in Dani's case.
I agree, he has what we need. Sadly though, I think it is likely that he's just too much of a problem/risk.
