krissyboy31 Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 Who is Peter White please? IOW based journo, who broke the news of £6m official bid last night. Pretty genned up on all things Saints.
Saint Garrett Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 It's not Ramirez he's talking about apparently
S-Clarke Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 Maybe - Jean-Armel Kana-Biyik ? I don't think Nixon has mentioned him before but we have been linked in some places, but he'd be a coup. Being tracked by a host of top clubs all over europe, very good CB.
Gingeletiss Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 Some southern freelance Journalist based on the Isle of White i believe. Wight....
MOSaint Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 Maybe - Jean-Armel Kana-Biyik ? I don't think Nixon has mentioned him before but we have been linked in some places, but he'd be a coup. Being tracked by a host of top clubs all over europe, very good CB. Could be. Whoever Nixon is on about he seems to think it will be a big signing if it comes off: @reluctantnicko @Jayrodfan2 Sunday People. A new name. Been in. Ambitious. Thought chance was slim. But maybe not. @reluctantnicko @Jayrodfan2 No clues. No guesses. Too important a potential tale.
JustMike Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 Have it on good authority that we have signed someone today, to be announced tomorrow, for "millions" as yet have no idea of who or what position. Will keep digging.
Toadhall Saint Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 Have it on good authority that we have signed someone today, to be announced tomorrow, for "millions" as yet have no idea of who or what position. Will keep digging. Cheers.
Wade Garrett Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 If all these deals come of, tomorrow could be a good day for shooting my load.
SO16_Saint Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 If all these deals come of, tomorrow could be a good day for shooting my load. ...I read your post quickly, and thought you said 'shooting my dad'.
Wiggles31 Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 Have it on good authority that we have signed someone today, to be announced tomorrow, for "millions" as yet have no idea of who or what position. Will keep digging. Sounds intriguing.
ThreeSixty Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 Kyle Bartley to Swansea £1m. Would have jumped at that.
Smirking_Saint Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 Bartley is a good player, and cheap, with the sound of some of these targets Im feeling a bit better now
shirleysfc Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 Have it on good authority that we have signed someone today, to be announced tomorrow, for "millions" as yet have no idea of who or what position. Will keep digging. Scott Dann or Ramierz is my guess
JustMike Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 Scott Dann or Ramierz is my guess All they are telling me is..... " rumours said we were after him but club said no next we bought him" I said Dann straight away, no reply as yet.
Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 Scott Dann or Ramierz is my guess Didn't Nixon say he really didn't rate Dann a few weeks ago.
Turkish Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 All they are telling me is..... " rumours said we were after him but club said no next we bought him" I said Dann straight away, no reply as yet. When asked about Dann didn't Adkins say "right position not nessasairly right name"?
Saint_Ash Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 All they are telling me is..... " rumours said we were after him but club said no next we bought him" I said Dann straight away, no reply as yet. buttner?
Turkish Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 Have it on good authority that we have signed someone today, to be announced tomorrow, for "millions" as yet have no idea of who or what position. Will keep digging. You do know your mongboard ITK credibility hangs on this don't you?
Turkish Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 buttner? We never said we weren't after Buttner
JustMike Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 When asked about Dann didn't Adkins say "right position not nessasairly right name"? Yes, that is what leads me to believe its him, but the "millions" part of it doesn't make sense!
Turkish Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 Yes, that is what leads me to believe its him, but the "millions" part of it doesn't make sense! Didn't Blackburn want £6m for him?
JustMike Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 Didn't Blackburn want £6m for him? Not sure. I guess I heard the word millions and instantly aimed higher?
Saint_Ash Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 We never said we weren't after Buttner Hmmm, true. How many players have the club Said no about? Can only think of dann off the top of my head.
Turkish Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 Not sure. I guess I heard the word millions and instantly aimed higher? Would be our second biggest fee ever so a pretty big deal.
JustMike Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 You do know your mongboard ITK credibility hangs on this don't you? Haha yes, I may be taking a risk but have no reason to doubt it. Well, yet anyway! I will take the walk of shame if it falls flat
Turkish Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 Hmmm, true. How many players have the club Said no about? Can only think of dann off the top of my head. Same as that. Don't remember anyone other than Dann.
Thedelldays Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 Haha yes, I may be taking a risk but have no reason to doubt it. Well, yet anyway! I will take the walk of shame if it falls flat Not only that. A possible MODship too Talk about doing all you can to be long
itchen_dan Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 Only other one is Lens but can't see that now we're after Ramirez and Phillips. Only one is Dann that fits in with the rumour.
JustMike Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 Not only that. A possible MODship too Talk about doing all you can to be long I have always been long!
thorpie the sinner Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 Lens is a good shout, but we are desperate for a CB! I am still plumping for Ramirez!!! Then we can all shout WOW but where's the bloody CB lol
MadDogMatt Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 Mike I think that could still be Mat Phillips given Oli's rant?
Pamplemousse Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 http://www.gianlucadimarzio.com/calciomercato/ramirez-il-southampton-si-avvicina/ Basically, it says we've agreed a €20M fee with Bologna for Gaston Ramirez

S-Clarke Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 holy sh!t mind you he could say no to us I cannot imagine we'd have gone all this way without knowing what he wants. We've been talking to Bologna as well as Gastons reps.
Super_Saint Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 Please be true I will go mental if it happens.
lloydie Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 I literally just sh@t bricks, spat out my coffee, ate a hat, pinched myself and prematurely ejaculated all in one swift movement.
Jack Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 I'm going to assume this is absolute horse sh*t. Surely that would be smashing our transfer and wage budgets to pieces. I'd be happy to be proven wrong.

Southampton and Gaston Ramirez were near. Closer and closer. The British company wants to make a major investment. And with Bologna, there is agreement on a valuation of nearly 20 million, including bonuses. Figures important, that can push the closure. The parties are closer, and you can dramatically close to Ramirez in the coming hours. We must define the first official proposal but also with Bologna, waiting for news. The Southampton has offered Ramirez a major contract. And these developments will come hours ...

hypochondriac Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 Ridiculous of people to go mental over something that hasn't happened yet. Would be great if it does but foolish for anyone to get their hopes up.
Pamplemousse Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 Liverpool fans on twitter are having a meltdown, they thought they were going to sign him
Saint J 77 Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 http://www.gianlucadimarzio.com/calciomercato/ramirez-il-southampton-si-avvicina/ Basically, it says we've agreed a €20M fee with Bologna for Gaston Ramirez I can't believe we would pay 20 million pounds or euro for him, no matter how good he is. Do we really have that money to spend on one player?
swannymere Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 I'm guessing they mean €20M is the cost of the transfer and wages? I don't know why everyone is getting so excited, it's obviously ********.
Gordon Mockles Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 Who knows. Would be a huge sign of intent but it's what you need in the PL. One or 2 game changing players can be worth so much more than the actually transfer & wage cost (although footballers are paid way too much). It all happens on a Friday. Could this be the Cortese connection in Italy working again, quality going up with each promotion. I hope so. Ramirez would be a brilliant signing but I would also be happy with Phillips or Lens but Ramirez far more expensive but quality & to beat off Liverpool & Spurs would be a good way to wildly swing open the door to loudly announce, we are back!!
Colinjb Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 Whichever way you look at it, a figure of 20 million even being mentioned is utterly batsh*t crazy.
Reynoldson!! Posted 17 August, 2012 Posted 17 August, 2012 This guy looks incredible! Would be amazing if we were to pull it off
Matthew Le God Posted 17 August, 2012 Posted 17 August, 2012 Whichever way you look at it, a figure of 20 million even being mentioned is utterly batsh*t crazy. A little less crazy as it is about £15.7m.
