Gaston Ramirez - Signs 4 Year Deal

[S-Clarke]

14.3m quid. Ouch.

 

Just to clarify, that was lifted from another forum and I'm still searching for official confirmation on that.

[beatlesaint]

Which is exactly why it can be difficult to sort deals early.

 

Absolutely. Anyone would keep hold of a player for an extra few weeks if it means they can get extra cash in.

[Saint Charlie]

14.3m quid. Ouch.

 

Seems a fair price for a quality player looked at by top clubs. We will sell him for more in 2/3 years.

[Jack]

I think we should drag this out a bit more TBH

[itchen_dan]

That price may include Penarol's fee as well so who knows?

[fish fingers]

14.3m quid. Ouch.

 

But when compared with Steven Fletcher, Jarvis and Rhodes today i think we should be happy.

[SaintNeil90]

Its a false alarm. It obviously came from this... @AlvaroLevrero: @SkySportsNews say #GastónRamírez 's deal's done finally to #Southampton for an amazing total amount of £ 18:000.000. The biggest until now.

 

Some women who claims she saw it on sky sport in Italy.

[Smirking_Saint]

TBH Im not even goung to be excited when we sign him now, just relieved.

[Cheese on Toast]

Have we signed Gary Hooper yet?

No idea about the reliability of the source, or where/when they get their info, but this tweet about 10 minutes ago isn't positive:

 

https://twitter.com/CalcioSphera

Gastón Ramírez-Southampton: Bloqueada la venta del jugador del Bologna por un porcentaje (30%) del jugador que pertenece a Peñarol.

 

It looks like that says the sale of the player has been blocked, due to the 30% part owned by Peñarol.

About the 50th time it's mean on/off

[Saint Garrett]

Translates as

 

Gastón Ramírez-Southampton: Locked sale of Bologna player by a percentage (30%) of the player who belongs to Peñarol.

 

Would assume that we're just locked in talks I'm sure it'll be fine.

Locked is one possible translation, but far more common meanings would be blocked or obstructed.

Or that the deal is locked as in locked down as in complete? MAYBE? Does anyone here speak italian?

This is funny... i'll have to write it down for future reference

[John Boy Saint]

I wondered today how much of this Ramirez cobblers, is a smoke screen to cover all of our other deals: which seem to be smooth as silk and pretty much under the radar.

[syd_barrett_saint]

Despite being from a twitter account called CalcioSphera about Italian football, the tweet is in Spanish. And a far more common translation would be that the sale is blocked, rather than locked.

Not heard he/she tweet anything about this deal before, so unlikely to be accurate I'd say.

 

Also that source looks like a fanzine-type site not a legitimate Italian media football website.

[syd_barrett_saint]

A Uruguayan journalist (for one of their biggest newspapers), https://twitter.com/josMastandrea, has just tweeted the deal has been completed, for 18 million pounds, not euros :-/

Yep, I think you're right there. Looks like a fanzine, probably best ignored. Hopefully the Uruguayan journalist who just tweeted the deal is done is right (although I am hoping also he got pounds and euros mixed up!)

Ah, crap. He has now replied again clarifying "that is what they are saying in England". So it seems he knows nothing new.

[Saint Billy]

Hope he is wrong about 18 million pounds

Twitter should be closed down IMO. Thousands of people without a f*cking clue about anything, pretending to be ITK, winding people up, posting ********, and clogging up this once *cough* respectable forum.

 

This forum should be closed down IMO......

For me, that depends on A. How good he is and B. How much money we actually have.

 

I don't think Cortese is the kind of guy who would ever break the budget for a player, so I think whatever we pay we will be able to afford. And I guess we will see whether it is worth it or not as the season pans out. If we have signed him of course...

He then followed this up with "it's what they are saying in England". He knows nothing new.

You clearly know f**k all about Twitter. There are people on there who are reliable. Unfortunately everyone is so desperate on here that they will accept and clinge on to any tweet that is positive about this 'deal'.

The fact things are filtering through in Uruguay suggests something has happened in terms of our agreement with Panarol (i.e a positive development)

I expect that's in Euros. Im guessing the rate is quite good at the moment with Spain and Greece in meltdown.

Or they have just done what we have done on here and believed some women who tweeted sky saying it was a done deal.

[Thedelldays]

if he does not sign by midnight tonight, I am going to write a strongly worded email to the club

It's not great, it's £14.25m. Though when we change it up at the Post Office, they'll hammer us with their crappy rates.
