Euros most likely. It's what most transfer fees are in now, especially with European clubs
Ossie is employed as one of the club's two overseas ambassadors (Ossie does N & S America, Mabbutt Africa and Asia)
You'd also expect there to be some personal relationship between the Argentines on our payroll
I believe that he's been a visitor to the training ground a few times since Poch became manager

fantastic player is Perisic. On another level to Lamela so I dont blame them if they chose him from the two

I must say this sounds so implausible that Ossie would openly a) tell a random fan about an upcoming deal and b) be so condescending about someone he has bigged up so much in the past. Either this poster is a WUM or Ossie is not a very good ambassador (to openly diss one of our playes at a place like that)!

I think the former rather than the latter. I've met Ossie a few times and has never offered so much as a snippet of information. The only information that he did have was the mood of the squad and obviously his opinion of players that we had which was always very positive. Exactly what you would expect from an ambassador.

Was he on the champers???
I've met him quite A few times too and he is a different bloke when he is drunk
He says a lot of stuff he shouldnt when drunk but is the complete opposite when sober

Well one of the times we were playing golf so he was sober. The other time he was merry rather than drunk. Mabbut is the complete professional as you would expect as is Perryman. Graham Roberts is the one that shattered all of my illusions. They say you should never meet your heroes, which although I don't agree with as a general rule, is completely the case with him.

Roberts is a complete tool on tv/radio. He's like our version of Paul Merson

Ossie and Poch are close - they usually meet up pre-game and discuss the starting XI/tactics - I know this because I was in VIP area last season and spoke to Paul Miller who already knew the team (at about 2 hrs pre KO) because he'd just bumped into Ossie.
Therefore it wouldn't surprise me if Ossie was privy to this sort of information and that if he'd been on the champers he may have been more likely to share such info.
Also makes sense that Lamela was selected in the 18 yesterday but not used; he is usually a Poch option yet Pritchard was put on before him.

BEN: very unlikley signing another striker i am told
maybe another midfielder
poch sees nijie as somone through the middle and if kane out son striker up top
Worth noting, BEN said we wouldn't sign Son.
Some people seem to think he's an online mouthpiece for the club, so could be a tree dwelling smokescreen for all we know... or not.

To be honest, I'd rather not share the story in too much detail, but he was arrogant, rude, and just made me feel like he had no affection for the club at all or his former team mates.

I've met Teddy 3 times and he's been great twice and an absolute dingdong the one time.

I have the same opinion of Roberts who I have met a couple of times., loved him as a player but he is a gobby loudmouth.
Having had a fair bit of experienxe in Latin America I have one life rule that has served me well...... Never trust an argentian! Don't trust them with business, around your missus or maybe even as a club ambassador perhaps!
Before the PC phalanx come over all strong of course I am being a little tongue in cheek but I do have to say as generalisations go, it stands firm.
Having never met him nor knowing the guy who said it, I could easily believe someone like Ossie could talk out of turn. This opinion has nothing to do with eng v Arg rivalry either just through the experience of how much hard work they all seem to be!

I would say that a generalisations go it is like any generalisation about a race or country...ridiculous! I'd hazard a guess that there are just as many affairs that occur in this country than in Argentina.
But,back to football and the point at hand. I can only go on what little contact I have had with Ossie. It is absolutely conceivable that he has divulged information, but I think our club is quite good at weeding out the loose lips and would take a pretty dim view of it.
