SNOWY Posted 17 August, 2012 Share Posted 17 August, 2012 This won't happen. Tottenham couldn't agree terms with Ramirez' rep's so we've no chance. Probably just agents trying to stir up interest. Hope I'm wrong though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's clearly wanting to come to us, if you read through the Ramirez thread there are loads of quotes from him. We're clearly also breaking the bank to sign him, just a matter of it being signed I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNSUN Posted 17 August, 2012 Share Posted 17 August, 2012 In other transfer news (I'm sure it must have been mentioned at the start of summer) Jose Bosingwa joins QPR. Good signing for them, I might have to raise my expectations of them this season. Kevin Mirallas is poised to join Everton. A good signing for them if it goes through. Belgian international winger for £6million. Is Ramirez twice as good for the money? One can only hope so. (If it goes through of course, touching wood.)

He said he would happily wait to get the right quality on the last day of the window if needed. In fact he said he thinks most of the deals will happen in the last two days and that the Euros and Olympics have delayed things. He was very positive about getting quality players in.

They asked if he was still looking to get 2 Cb's in and he answered that 1 would be nice at the moment!

Saint_John Posted 18 August, 2012 Share Posted 18 August, 2012 This probably is the correct thread but rather than start a new one I've added it here. The Times today said that the Premier League have stated that Pitch Sizes must be the same size this year i.e. 105m by 68m (if possible i.e. no stands). The biggest losers will be Stoke who's pitch size was only 100m x 64m last season for league games. The Premier League site says that St Marys was only 102.41m by 65.84m last season so it appears there may be a change in some of the lines for this season. http://www.premierleague.com/en-gb/clubs/profile.stadium.html/southampton This might be a reason that sides are looking to "smaller players who can hold and run with the ball" rather than "big physical players". The PL have also said that all sides must use the Nike's Maxim ball. http://www.premierleague.com/en-gb/news/news/nike-unveils-new-maxim-ball.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree-CB's the priority. He's so confident that the story will raise eyebrows you can't but help think its a big name, especially as the ramirez has become the new normal. Not sure that any of the CBs we've been linked with to date eg Biyik tick that box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
