I'm just surprised someone else didn't take a chance on him. 20m euro isn't an absurd amount of money nowadays.

Kinda pissed Rodgers didn't go for him.

Yeah, Liverpool always seemed like they could have been a possibility. Even more than Tottenham where he would fill a need but Baldini may likely have been sick of dealing with his antics.


I'm probably in the minority of Roma fans who still wanted him to stay even into this summer mainly because--as you suggest -- there's a lot of players not as talented as Osvaldo changing hands at much higher prices.

Also, for as immature as he was and his penchant for incredibly stupid stuff that turned some fans violently against him (like going on vacation and posting facebook photos of him drinking beers with some hos in Vienna during the weekend he was suspended for the Lazio derby!!), it still seemed all his teammates liked him and there was certainly something fetching about his persona as the mad maverick gunner.
