Whether it is being kicked out of national team squads for yelling at managers, banned at Southampton for engaging in a touchline scrap, then sent to Juventus just after fighting Jose Fonte, Dani Osvaldo is no stranger to the controversial.
@RealmadridLad Jose Fonte has posted a selfie on Instagram after being punched by teammate Dani Osvaldo. Black-eye. http://t.co/gE6LsFaGse”

When he headed off to his boyhood club, Boca Juniors, you thought it was the end of the madness; that perhaps Osvaldo would finally start to explore that most dangerous of items - his 'potential'.
But no, the fiery Italy international was booted out of there as well after he was caught smoking in the changing room after a game.
And now he has decided to pursue creative interests on the stage rather than on the pitch; with a guitar in his hands rather than a ball at his feet. At least, that's what he told Italian TV station 'Rai Sport', according to the 'Southern Daily Echo'.
Here's Dani in action. We've heard worse.
Maybe Osvaldo scarpered from the Saints because he had heard through the St Mary's grapevine that a similarly acoustically talented striker was destined to fight him for his place on the team. Either way, it's still an excuse for us to dredge up a video of Shane Long playing the guitar.
