I'm sure you haven't lost your ability to reason and quite gone krakers yet krakers!
Being objective, the echo have a blatant and transparent desire to peddle all things 'bad' coming out if the club in recent times.
Why is this?
For various reasons, I think we can close the book on this one.
Credit to the club for effort, but by a lot of accounts, if the player isn't swung, not much possible...
Fwiw, I remember all the rubbish printed by Italian journos and papers on Ramirez move when later it came out that he had signed, days previously!
Large pinch of salt needed here I think and hopefully we'll get some positive news soon.
