david in sweden Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Good buy for 4m.... ......if you don't mind his disciplinary record...and seen him play, he seems to have inherited the old Leeds axiom from the 1970's ..."if you can't get the ball ..get the man who's got it! " Er- no thanks.
Wade Garrett Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 ......if you don't mind his disciplinary record...and seen him play, he seems to have inherited the old Leeds axiom from the 1970's ..."if you can't get the ball ..get the man who's got it! " Er- no thanks. Tries the glory ball far too much and gives away possession. He'll get a few red cards in a Stoke shirt that he would have got away with if playing for Liverpool as well.
Pilchards Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Problem is Cortese will not pay anyone silly wages & that's why we got Raminez because he will settle for 45k a week, cant see him paying 100k+ to the greedy has beens in the EPL. Bebatov Walcott Johnson to name a few.
JoeShmoe Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 One and a half days left, still can't understand why this hasn't been announced
Saint Charlie Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Problem is Cortese will not pay anyone silly wages & that's why we got Raminez because he will settle for 45k a week, cant see him paying 100k+ to the greedy has beens in the EPL. Bebatov Walcott Johnson to name a few. Thats not a problem, its sensible. Those players not worth that.

Bebatov Walcott Johnson to name a few. This is clearly not a problem. And Walcott not going to us, or Fulham or Sunderland anytime soon. I'm delighted we're not signing Berbatov.
Bucks Saint Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Christ you're stupid. We're already in the hunt for another CB to go alongside Yoshida, and Ramirez has the potential to be world class. But you would rather we drop everything, and instead go after Kasper Schmeichel, a so-so keeper who conceded four last night against the mighty Burton Albion. What a F*ck!ng plum. Thank god the schools go back soon, and the novelty of being back in the top flight will wear off for the JCL's. Why did you quote me fool? Irony too much for you?
Pilchards Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Got out of bed too early, clearly not a problem correct! Cortese would pay wages of 100k + if he felt the player was right for us. Van Persie would be a great example if we was on the brink of champion league football. Our time will come at this rate. Back to subject - Raminez to sign at 2 with a full press exposure IMHO.
Graffito Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 By today must be translated to the sale Uruguayan Southampton to unlock the negotiations set to conclude today and maybe some other purchase. Now or never - or at least it should be. Tuesday afternoon, in fact the president Guaraldi assured fans absolutely want to conclude the negotiations with Southampton not later than the morning today to not find yourself having to work quickly on the last day of the transfer market. Are now many in Bologna that count the minutes left before the end of the day, hoping that any problems preventing the two clubs to reach an agreement and be able to see it again so Gaston Ramirez with the shirt of Bologna. In fact there is no possible substitute at the market to fill the gap that would open technique losing the young Uruguayan talent for a figure decidedly favorable. To have a comparison just think the figure that Manchester City close disburse at this time to buy eighteen Nastasic from Fiorentina: 18 million. Bologna is instead ready to give 70% of the label of one of the hottest prospects in world football born in 1990 to just 14 million. Let us trust the president, however, the word Guaraldi and wait for the end of the morning to learn the fate of the boy and therefore also of all receipts and payments transactions

Monk Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Why are we chasing this unproven player when Berbatov is everything we need - quality. Premier League experience, Morale boosting, AND IS SUPPOSEDLY HEADING FOR FULHAM!!!!?? WFT? Go after Berbatov. We need some experience FFS! .... and buy a bloody defence Cortese. We have enough strikers FFS. Re-read your post you pratt.
david in sweden Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 That would be a signing! Great move by Fulham... well see... I bet he'll get top money at Fulham and be a star....for him that's better than being an "also-ran " at MU.
The9 Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Sorry mate. I'm in the minority. Dragged up on a council estate, etc, etc. Indelibly colours your views. I just think you're a grass. I was dragged up on a council estate and think your perspective is straight out of junior school.
The9 Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Think we have heard today it must be done now or never like 4 times now Yeah but after the initial stall it was never going to happen before Thursday/Friday this week. Bologna are desperate for cash and we'll get him unless someone else jumps in late.

Premier League Southampton, racing against time to Ramirez © http://www.imagephotoagency.it/ League SOUTHAMPTON RAMIREZ - Continue the wild ride of Southampton, to prevent the purchase of Gaston Ramirez fade right on the razor's edge. Colleagues in the Gazzetta dello Sport reported the strategy of the Saints, to be able to complete the deal in time, ie before it closes the period devoted to the negotiations, which for English football expires five hours after the close of the market in Italy ( at midnight on 1st September): the medical staff of the newly promoted team in the Premier League would be directed to Bologna in Italy to carry out medical examinations to Uruguayan playmaker, so as to tighten the times and to sign the new contract to the player in shortest possible time.

Have we not done the medical yet then?
itchen_dan Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Have we not done the medical yet then? I would've thought it would've been completed yesterday as this morning is the 'deadline' (yes another deadline) set by Guaraldi. If it hasnt been done yet then don't expect any announcement until around mid afternoon as they take a good few of hours to do, then press releases etc.

skintsaint Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Bet we get a quote later from the president saying it is off... Something has gone through, whether its our deal or he has gone somewhere else is a different matter. For a skint club they are starting to bring players in all of a sudden.
itchen_dan Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Something has gone through, whether its our deal or he has gone somewhere else is a different matter. For a skint club they are starting to bring players in all of a sudden. The only thing though is that as far as they are concerned, its a done deal because they have agreed with Saints. Saints however, going by reports, still seem to be working with Penarol to agree a fee / bonuses / %'s. This could still go wrong. Highly unlikely now as we've got this far but there is always the possibility it could fall through. Bologna have done their part, they can do no more so can prepare to recruit players but if the Saints-Penarol part falls through, or he even fails a medical etc, they're gonna have some explaining to do to clubs who they have players lined up from. It is in the best interests of all parties to get this sewn up today. Leaves everyone a good 40+ hours to finalise other deals.
Nigel=God-Poyet=Sod Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 I don't have a good feeling about this one now, gone on very long. Something must be holding it up.

We have enough strikers FFS. Errr No! My Manc mate was at OT and Fergie was in preparations to make a change with the obvious player making way being Berbatov. Berbatov was near the sidelines when an old boy standing next to my mate shouted "Oi Berbatov!! Warm up lad!, you're coming off!". Obviously to great roars of laughter from those in earshot. As my mate said summed the player up superbly.
Cascadia Saint Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 I don't have a good feeling about this one now, gone on very long. Something must be holding it up. I don't know, for some reason I am suddenly feeling the opposite. I have faith that our cloak and dagger management team will spring some surprises!

Either irony is lost on all here are they are being deliberately obtuse!!

charliemiller Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 In unrelated but transfer news Joey Barton HCNDAJFU under any circumstances errrrm who was it saying we needed someone to rough wigan off the ball last saturday lol
Saint Garrett Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Ramirez has signed, It's on the OS No he hasn't.
once_bitterne Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Ramirez has signed, It's on the OS Not ours tho?
Draino76 Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Ramirez has signed, It's on the OS He may well have signed last week, but the web page is still loading for me.
SaintNeil90 Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Ramirez has signed, It's on the OS I've never understood people who do this. Attention seeking?
angelman Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 The OS is such a complete and utter mess it might well be on there somewhere.
Toadhall Saint Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 I've never understood people who do this. Attention seeking? Its the only explanation I can think of. Pretty sad really.
SaintRichmond Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 The OS is such a complete and utter mess it might well be on there somewhere. Apparently, they've just announced we've signed some guy called Le Tissier
saints_is_the_south Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Well it's nearly 11am in Italy now. And their president told supporters/media that unless the deal was concluded by this morning then Ramirez would be taken off the market. Also gone eerily quiet on the Italian media sign of things. No updates from the journalists in Bologna, no update from Carlo di Marzio (Sky Italia guy) or any of the Gazzetta reporters that I follow on Twitter. Does that mean it's virtually done and there is nothing else worth reporting on until it's made official, or they no longer no what is going on since the Saints/Bologna side is sorted and matters now concern things outside of Italy?
Minty Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Does that mean it's virtually done and there is nothing else worth reporting on until it's made official That's my belief. It's probably 'done', as in, all agreed, it's just medical and final bits of paper. Or I could be completely and utterly wrong.
Saint Scott Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Tom Coull @TomCoull Got up. Put shirt on. Still had the hanger in. #NeedMoreZzzzz Retweeted by Jordan Sibley Late night last night I assume.

Webby Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Apparently, they've just announced we've signed some guy called Le Tissier He's average. No better than Chaplow.
itchen_dan Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Tom Coull @TomCoull Got up. Put shirt on. Still had the hanger in. #NeedMoreZzzzz Retweeted by Jordan Sibley Late night last night I assume. Yeah, one of the other media guys who works at Saints amongst other things and presents the Match Day Shows put: RichardEnsten: Came home from work late. Found my housemates making crumble. Jayrodfan2: @richardensten Don't make me hungry why were you back late RichardEnsten: @Jayrodfan2 haha. I was back late because I was working! Now whether it was a late night at St Mary's or one of his other jobs, who knows but seems it was a long, quiet day on Twitter for the media team yesterday.
Crazy Diamond Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 An interesting concept some people ought to try and grasp - you can sometimes read too much into things. Hanging on every single Saints' employees tweets is an example.

Hanging on every single Saints' employees tweets is an example. It's just the last time it was that quiet on Twitter from the media team, we ended up signing Jay Rodriguez. Most probably just be a coincidence but with the various rumours / reports coming from news outlets and journos yesterday, wouldnt surprise me if they had been very busy and didnt have time or werent allowed to tweet.
Saint Garrett Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Well lets be honest, sure they have been working last last few days and will be until Saturday.
