View From The Top Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Really, who cares? 99% of posters on here wouldn't of had a clue who he was 10 days ago & are now getting all precious over whether a Diego Kickaball signs or not.
This Charming Man Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 I'm lazy, what's the latest? There's a meeting at 3pm. Our resident Italian financial advisor, S-Clarke, has assured us Bologna are so broke this meeting is just to announce the sale of him to us and it in no way could be to say he's had a change of heart.

They are skint, that's common knowledge. In fact, apart from Juve, they're all skint!
Tokyo-Saint Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 And what is said number? Don't worry dune, you'll be able to carry some over from your previous logins.
MongoNeil Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 45 mins to the big announcement! If it was 3pm Italian time then hasn't it already happened?
Frank's cousin Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 45 mins to the big announcement! was it not 3pm Italian time 2pm BST?
itchen_dan Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Mousse81: #Ramirez update: "now or never" meeting Bologna-Southampton at 4pm in Italy. Waiting to be official. Instead, Floccari said no to Bologna.

CanadaSaint Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Really, who cares? 99% of posters on here wouldn't of had a clue who he was 10 days ago & are now getting all precious over whether a Diego Kickaball signs or not. It's not just about whether "Diego Kickaball" ends up signing but also the fact that we - and especially Cortese - have invested so much time and effort in pursuing him when we have other serious deficiencies to address. If we miss out on Ramirez and also fail to address our clear weaknesses, Cortese is going to look rather silly and somewhat out of his depth, and our quest to survive in the PL could be seriously damaged. At that point, who knows how Cortese will react? There may be a whole lot more riding on this than an exciting signing.
St Lej Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 I guess it all boils down to whether Martin O'neills house in Winchester has had any recent viewings. That will be as big an indicator as you could wish for as to whether he's signed or not

Instead, Floccari said no to Bologna. Would rather Floccari said yes to Bologna !! Come on we just need to push it over the line.

Dig Dig Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 So is this a press conference or a meeting? A press conference wouldn't be good, usually clubs don't organise these just to announce a player has left and no way Saints would agree to them announcing it before we did.
beatlesaint Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 I am amazed that NC hasnt lost patience and walked away as has seemingly happened before. Still perhaps an Italian dealing with Italians means a different set of rules
This Charming Man Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 They are skint, that's common knowledge. In fact, apart from Juve, they're all skint! Someone should tell Inter they're skint and to stop spending! The thing is, Bologna probably are broke but nobody on here knows that for sure. At no point have Bologna come out and said we have to sell as we're skint - there is certainly no urgency on their part to sell. People on here have assumed things and read between the lines and it's then taken as gospel. They may well have enough in the coffers to offer him a few Euros more a week - we don't know either way though.
Reynoldson!! Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 a lot of aggression on here today, everybody needs to caaaaaaaaaaalm down
a1ex2001 Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 This thread is reminding me of the build up to the signing of Rudi Skace so I fully expect him to be paraded on the pitch to formally sign his contract this weekend before turning out to not be the saviour but just a decent footballer.

A press conference wouldn't be good, usually clubs don't organise these just to announce a player has left and no way Saints would agree to them announcing it before we did. That's the bit that has made me very queasy about this whole thing. When was the last time that the selling club organized the press conference to announce a transfer? Especially when its chairman has taken a load of abuse from the fans for thinking about selling the player.
Saints foreva Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 I am amazed that NC hasnt lost patience and walked away as has seemingly happened before. Still perhaps an Italian dealing with Italians means a different set of rules Cortese hasn't walked away because this is his signing. If it was an Adkins target then he would have lost interest as soon as Bolonga started to play hard ball. It would have been a massive waste of time if he doesn't sign now, still not confident he will.
Saint Charlie Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 That's the bit that has made me very queasy about this whole thing.

Saint Malc Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Can you please highlight where I've been aggressive? I'm merely asking the question of how he know's so much about their financial situation. That's a rather reasonable request, IMO. I'd like to know how come he's such an expert on the Bologne financial situation too. He does seem to speak with a great deal of authority on the subject.
CanadaSaint Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 It's just a meeting apparently. Man, I hope so. But even then it doesn't sit very well with me because the two clubs are supposed to have reached agreement, with the only major issues being a deal with Penarol and the medical. It's like one step forward, two steps back.
Saint Charlie Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Man, I hope so. But even then it doesn't sit very well with me because the two clubs are supposed to have reached agreement, with the only major issues being a deal with Penarol and the medical.

Bentley Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Cortese hasn't walked away because this is his signing. If it was an Adkins target then he would have lost interest as soon as Bolonga started to play hard ball. It would have been a massive waste of time if he doesn't sign now, still not confident he will. That's how I see it as well. In League 1 we got Guly and Papa Waigo, players that, to be honest, we shouldn't have been getting with our reputation. Cortese likes to pull off a ridiculous Italian league signing once in a while with his contacts there it seems.
Thedelldays Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Man, I hope so. But even then it doesn't sit very well with me because the two clubs are supposed to have reached agreement, with the only major issues being a deal with Penarol and the medical.

Glasgow_Saint Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 apparently it is a meeting to read this thread............ hope they dont read the Ramirez off topic
Lets B Avenue Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 you realise that when asking for a *source of information you spell it as "source" not "sauce". a sauce is like HP or Daddy's You do realise that you spell it Daddies and not Daddy's.

Its not Diego Kickaball. Its Carlos Kickaball. Thought this might cheer you all up....its prophetic....our Nigel in about 12 months time....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXdrOgA7ATU
BARCELONASAINT Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 PMSL, just shows what the Italians are like.....Berbatov was apparently supposed to join Fiorentina but failed to turn up for medical and now looking like joining Fulham. Fiorentina's presidents reaction "we are glad he didn't turn up, he is not worthy of our great city".......made me laugh
CanadaSaint Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 APPARENTLY Now there's a word to sum up this thread. We might have all been better off with the original post and 6,309 "bumps".

Inter, like AC and Juve, will always spend despite the huge debts they have just in the same way Barca & Real Madrid do. Bologna are skint, it's no secret as are the vast majority of Italian clubs. Their TV deals are crippling the clubs.
Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 All time low? Not even close. By the way, I am 100% in favour of correcting bad spelling - especially "loose" instead of "lose"....but only after you have made posts and joined the in crowd - by which time you will be able to distinguish between irony and illiteracy Do you not mean 'appropriate'..?
Dig Dig Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Club President has to sign off the deal. Sorry, not up to speed today. I thought he was coming to Southampton to do this...as per Italian reports a couple of days ago? Is this still the case do you know?
View From The Top Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Its not Diego Kickaball. Its Carlos Kickaball. Diego seems more Uruguayan than Carlos.

beatlesaint Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 I bet the next transfer news on the OS is NOT about Ramirez after all this !!
obelisk Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Pre meeting coffee and biscuits now being served.
Colinjb Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 I bet the next transfer news on the OS is NOT about Ramirez after all this !! There will be a massive article on Yoshida, with a one sentace footnote stating 'Ramirez is on the Bus too.'
Colinjb Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Pre meeting coffee and biscuits now being served. If they're not Garibaldis, it's not happening.
Dig Dig Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Pre meeting coffee and biscuits now being served. Saints had to bring the biscuits with and send a third of each one to peronel
Matthew Le God Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Gaston Ramirez spotted at Staplewood as Cortese's influence looms large over the club...
Cheese on Toast Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 If they're not Garibaldis, it's not happening. Malted Milks I'm afraid... I'm ITK
This Charming Man Posted 30 August, 2012 Posted 30 August, 2012 Pre meeting coffee and biscuits now being served. Anyone able to copy and paste a tweet confirming what biscuits are being served? Could give us a clue as to what the meeting is going to be about.
