Southampton 2 Stoke 2

Signed amidst much fanfare from Roma in the summer, the club-record acquisition managed just five months of a four-year deal before being shipped out to Juventus on loan, with a view to a permanent move.

Osvaldo failed to live up to the hype at Saints, managing just three goals in 13 appearances, but it was the training-ground incident in which he headbutted team-mate Fonte that proved the final straw.
