17 was his number at Espanyol. It's also considered an unlucky number in Italy so I think he's having a very slight shot.
I wondered what the justification of this might be.
In Italian culture, the number 17 is considered unlucky. When viewed as the Roman numeral, XVII, it is then changed anagrammatically to VIXI, which in the Latin language it translates to "I have lived", the perfect implying "My life is over." (c.f. "Vixerunt", Cicero's famous announcement of an execution.) Renault sold its "R17" model in Italy as "R177." See Cesana Pariol in the sport section about the name of curve 17.

Osvaldo will be loved and supported at Southampton<hug> He will reward us by playing the best football of his career. That's much better.

Lets hope so. I'd hope the privacy of English footballers (compared to Italy) may be to his benefit.

He's not going to have us at the gates of his house, stoning his car and spray painting his drive.
 
That post makes me worried, stop it!

Really? To me it just highlights what we all know, highly talented footballer struggling to keep his cool under one of the most intense spotlights of world football. He'll be fine. I'd suggest that Luke shouldn't give him a wedgie though.

Just a tad, i dont mean, ship him of worried, just made me a bit more cautious. As long as he does not try and take the penalty's ahead of Lambert
