Osvaldo

[Markffc123]

VIA SSN LIVE TRANSFER CLOCKWATCH:

We are hearing reports of Roma officials arriving in England today to negotiate the sale of a player and a signing. The rumours are that Fulham, Southampton and Tottenham Hotspur are interested in striker Pablo Daniel Osvaldo. Meanwhile, Roma are said to want to buy Arsenal's Gervinho.

not quite sure why we would be interested in him...very slow and simillar to ruiz and berbatov?..but yet he again he is a class player so i would not refuse him if true!

also i read on there julio baptista is a free agent..would anybody have him?

[karlfulham97]

I really dont want to see another slow stiker. Nah not really, he is 31 now.

[Sammyffc]

pretty sure he is 27

[Brown@FFC]

pretty sure he is 27

Baptista is 31.

Was this not the guy that Sparky had his 'this club lacks ambition' wobbly about when he walked out?

[Sammyffc]

ahhhh i thought he meant osvaldo haha

[FTID]

Osvaldo-Yes
Baptista-No

[twang]

I certainly wouldn't call Osvaldo slow, he's pretty pacey over short distances.

[Ordar]

When did Osvaldo become slow?

Ironic isn't it? Still I doubt if we will get him but we seem to be suddenly linked to a better class of player.

What happened to Odenwingie? Will nobody remember Odenwingie?  :Get Coat gif:

[Sammyffc]

karls comment was all about baptista , i thought he meant osvaldo aswell .

[MJG]

When did Osvaldo become slow?

When he joins fulham.
Look at AJ & Ruiz as 2 examples of players who had(or were told) they had pace. Its seems to vanish once they sign on the dotted line.

This rumoured move is confirmed by the Gazzetta dello Sport today.  He's an Italian international - though Argentinian-born.  He's better in the air than either Ruiz or Berbatov.

He's talking to Spurs, not us.

[FFC1987]

He's talking to Spurs, not us.

He was definitely speaking to us confirmed by some reliable sources but I think that's as far as its gone. I can't see us pulling this off and to be honest, not sure why we would for the prices mentioned. If we're going to spend silly money on a forward, how much would we spend on a position we are in dire need of, ie. a midfielder.....

[Sammyffc]

all ive seen is spurs are talking to soldado not osvaldo , god knows

[cmg]

Osvaldo....Ardiles.

Bit slow now....but boy could we do with finding someone like him.

[TWFL]

It would be a royal f you to Sparky by Mack and co if we do sign him. He's a classy player who is definitely proven but not sure we can compete with the likes of Arsenal, Tottenham and Valencia who also want him.

But my god, Berbatov and Osvaldo up front with Ruiz in behind.

[TheManOnTheBus]

I think I'd buy a second season ticket for that.   :yay:

[Lighthouse]

Even with our new owner do we really think we have jumped from Odenwingie to 17m or whatever for Osvaldo? Great if true but I very much doubt it.
