Southampton striker Osvaldo hits out at Roma

Southampton striker Pablo Daniel Osvaldo has hit out at former club AS Roma.

Osvaldo says Roma pushed him out of the club last month.

He said: "Was I in exile? No, I didn't feel that way. I decided to leave along with the club, who made it clear they wanted me to go.

"What do I say to the fans? The normal fans always showed affection for me. Then there are those who don't experience love the right way and fortunately they are in the minority.

"There is an element of the fans who love football the wrong way and I could not stay in Rome with people writing nasty messages outside my house. It's not normal and nothing gets done about it, to the point where people considered it normal."
