Goodbye Sali and Ozzy

[VillaZogmariner]

According to this morning's Birmingham Mail they have both been released by Villa (hardly a shock) and the club will do all it can to "help them with their CVs".

Never rated Ozzy to be honest, League One quality at very best. Sali had a couple of decent games (Prague away being the stand out) and will always have some sort of cult status with the fans!

i never understood the cult status with salifou...

he is shite... he made osbourne look like vieira in the reserves...

a shocking excuse for a football, and another shite signing that wasted wages for fuck all...

[Comrade Blitz]

O'Neill can sign them when he takes over at West Ham.

[Greg N'Ash]

salifou seemed to be one of MON's polishing a turd exercises. Still at least he didn't cost a forune like some of the other ones. Osbourne i have some sympathy for, but frankly he should have left 2 years ago.

[eastie]

Osbourne was top class against everton away a few years ago but sadly it was very much a one off display and he never came close to repeating it.

[Big Dick Edwards]

These two players have contributed nothing of significance to our club. At least they're off the wage bill.

[Rip Van We Go Again]

They came, they saw, they did fuck all.

[Lambert and Payne]

Never got the cult status with Sali, but i did love that song!
Osbourne, well i expected big things when he 1st came on the scene
Im sure these will both go somewhere decent and play 1st team
Good luck lads

[UsualSuspect]

Just think if we were paying Salifou 10K per week he has cost us 2 Million.

May as well just have set fire to the money.

Add Beye to the equation and thats 10 Million quid we've spunked for nothing

[Oscar Arce]

Salifou...good song, crap player, known as 'The Togolese Zidane' by some, but they are sadly misguided !
Was never going to be good enough.
Osbourne has had several 'off field problems', he has not the best reputation in the game, the silly boy.
He looked good early on until he got involved with all sorts of stuff, good riddance.

[villasjf]

Should have gone long ago, hardly played for the reserves complete waste of space.

[Clark W Griswold]

I'm amazed they were not sold last summer or the one before to be honest. Salifou would have probably played a fair few games for someone near the bottom, Osbourne was woefully out of his depth. Obviously best of luck to them both.

[woo]

Salifou...good song, crap player

sums him up perfectly

[pooligan]

I think O'neill was the only one who saw anything in either of them

[TheSandman]

Salifou had a few decent games and was a nice lad by all accounts. Still doesn't really make it right that we signed him and paid him for three years.

Osbourne, however, has to be one of the worst players I have ever seen play for us. Still can't believe we gave him a five year contract.

Good luck to both though. They will most likely need it. I expect I will see them up here at Kilmarnock or St Mirren or some such place.
