You'd be ok buying Osvaldo for 15m? His price tag alone in the situation would make him an expensive, unnecessary mistake. The best thing we can do right now is have Vucinic and Quag stay. The summer is a different proposition altogether.
Either that, or he has settled on a starting pair that brings maximum balance and compatibility.
This is becoming a bit of a worrying sign now. The pattern is clearly slipping into a sort of vicious cycle with such deals. This 15m could and should certainly have been better spent. What's to say Jojo for example, wouldn't be available in the summer for 22m? Would we not spend that money on a younger player with arguably more potential and compatibility in the set up we are intending? Its a hypothetical situation, admittedly, but mot far beyond the realm of reality,mseeing how stacked city are. These Osvaldo type deals are far too short sighted, and it's worrying me that we aren't considering European competition when spending money like this. In no way is this an improvement over the departing player, and if anything, we'd be stronger if Vucinic stayed on.
Exactly.
You can't lose confidence in players you don't give continuity to. The roles of these players are not as starters, or as a second playing eleven. The roles of these players are to fill need gaps in the first team, in ones and twos while playing the first team and not as an entire second string playing unit. Let me also remind you, that all of these players or at least most of them have played a very important part in Conte's success at the club in the previous two seasons.
I'd much rather have Gila or Pazzini on a six month loan to be honest. Maybe, even Matri. Osvaldo opinion the short term for 1.5m loan is a good fix, but a 15m purchase in the long term, is not a step forward, under any circumstances.
I think more than Conte, it's just that the club is bigger than the individuals here. Our focus always remains on the collective, and since this is arguably the biggest club that Osvaldo is going to play at in his career, he's going to have no option but to put his head down and work his way up. There is a little bit of awe involved when you play for a European powerhouse. I definitely think he's going to tow the line better than he has done elsewhere. And I agree, that we have no right to mention that we can't compete with top clubs if we go ahead with a deal like this.
We don't have to deal with superstars. But I'd much rather hold that 15m and invest 10m more on a Jackson Martinez type of player. Maybe not necessarily Martinez, but players in that mould. I don't have anything against the player per se, but a signing like this just doesn't align with the view that the team is growing and looking to compete on a higher level.
18m iirc. But I could be wrong about this, and mixing it up with what Roma paid for him. Its strange if we don't get a discount on that 15m, but seeing howmthemmarket goes, I don't think we'll get much of a concession.
We arent going to spend 15m to win a tournament that will give us the prize money of maybe half that amount.
Signing the scudetto away IMO. I don't agree with such mid season moves at all.
Shut up.
Without Cassano's ability.
Samp can't afford Quags salary.
Jojo scored a beauty for City today too 
Beauty. Was a deflection. But how I'd love to see him here ahead of Osvaldo.
NOSVALDO.
