Viking Warrior Posted 31 August, 2012 Posted 31 August, 2012 Will Gartson be the biggest Transfer of this window?
Nexstar Posted 31 August, 2012 Posted 31 August, 2012 Sam Appleton works for SSN and a saint fan. Hopefully not related to Simon. LOL, he'll be lapping this up!
SNSUN Posted 31 August, 2012 Posted 31 August, 2012 I predict when his signing is announced, someone will start a new thread about it on the main board, and the thread will be swiftly locked by a super-mod. I am ITK on this subject.
JustinR Posted 31 August, 2012 Posted 31 August, 2012 Gaston Ramirez- Bologna to Southampton- £14 million With the ink seemingly about to dry on this one it is easy to see way-and this is meant with the greatest of respect to Southampton- there is an element of surprise to this move. Ramirez has been coveted by a whole host of Europe’s elite; he has everything to his game. His elegant playing style is a joy to watch, his intelligence when in possession belies his age (21), and his all round technique is fantastic. In a world where the diminutive playmaker is now all the rage, at 6ft Ramirez is far more physically imposing, which would stand him in good stead should he move to a more laboriously demanding league. Whilst the success rate of players moving from Italy to England over the past decade is far from impressive, those that do go on to impress are generally not players who have come up through the Italian youth system, but rather made their name in Serie A before moving to the Premiership. 8.5/10 (Chances of it happening today) http://www.sabotagetimes.com/reportage/bendtner-to-juve-and-4-other-transfers-that-will-definitely-maybe-happen-today/ He sounds perfect
Mr_Red Posted 31 August, 2012 Posted 31 August, 2012 Will Gartson be the biggest Transfer of this window? Not sure where to start with this?! Gartson?! Hazard was something like £32M, RVP £24M so no, not by a long way. BBC sport now saying Bologna are after Gilardino... "Only two players currently still active in Italy have scored more goals than the 30-year-old throughout his career in Serie A" Quiz time then, who are they? Guess Del P doesn't count from today so Inzaghi? and... is Crespo still around?

Exactly the sort of force we need from the midfield and wide areas. As you said, sounds perfect!
Matthew Le God Posted 31 August, 2012 Posted 31 August, 2012 The window closes at 6pm in Italy so they want Ramirez wrapped up ASAP I would imagine. That is just for transfers of Italian based players to Italian clubs. Saints can still sign Italian based players after the domestic Italian window closes.
Saint Scott Posted 31 August, 2012 Posted 31 August, 2012 That is just for transfers of Italian based players to Italian clubs. Saints can still sign Italian based players after the domestic Italian window closes. Yes I know but if they want Gilardino then they will need the funds from us prior to their deadline at 6.

Saint Scott Posted 31 August, 2012 Posted 31 August, 2012 Ooh, that's a good one. Ibrahimovic I'd go for. Maybe the biggest transfer on deadline day? Ramirez I mean.
ozzmeister Posted 31 August, 2012 Posted 31 August, 2012 I assume this has been posted already: talian football expert James Horncastle: "Raising an eyebrow or two in Italy are reports that Bologna are seeking to take the 2006 World Cup and 2007 Champions League winning striker Alberto Gilardino on loan from Genoa for €1.5m with an option to make the deal permanent for a further €5m once the window opens again in January. Would this be there replacement for Gaston?
Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 31 August, 2012 Posted 31 August, 2012 Maybe the biggest transfer on deadline day? Ramirez I mean. I was talking about players that have scored more than Gilardino, but then Ibra has gone to PSG I suppose, so no longer active...
Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 31 August, 2012 Posted 31 August, 2012 Maybe the biggest transfer on deadline day? Ramirez I mean. Moutinho will be bigger.
Saint Scott Posted 31 August, 2012 Posted 31 August, 2012 I was talking about players that have scored more than Gilardino, but then Ibra has gone to PSG I suppose, so no longer active... Oops. Meant to quote Mr_Red.

Saint_clark Posted 31 August, 2012 Posted 31 August, 2012 Boriello? Surely he hasn't been around long enough. EDIT; just checked, he's been around since 2000...but hasn't scored enough goals really.

Saint_clark Posted 31 August, 2012 Posted 31 August, 2012 I'm just not sure about Di Natale, didn't he start off as a winger? I don't think so, sometimes played wide in an attacking 3 but never out and out winger. Could be wrong. Pretty sure him and Totti are the answers though.

Dig Dig Posted 31 August, 2012 Posted 31 August, 2012 SkySports Transfers @SkySportsTrans Reports coming in that Southampton have completed the signing of Gaston Ramirez, waiting on confirmation. #TheSaints #DeadlineDay Probably got that from the Bologna Twitter feed then. Sounds promising anyway

Windmill Arm 2 Posted 31 August, 2012 Posted 31 August, 2012 This has dragged on now, when you look at De Jongs transfer to AC Milan which appears to have been done in a couple of days. I have to say that I will PISH myself laughing if it all falls down now .
S-Clarke Posted 31 August, 2012 Posted 31 August, 2012 Excellent, I've managed to get a minute to check this....and he's still not signed! I think both sides are going to announce this just before 2pm, so the 2pm press conf. becomes the Ramirez unveiling conference.

SNSUN Posted 31 August, 2012 Posted 31 August, 2012 I reckon it's our club sticking us on a wind up. They'll announce Ramirez at 11:01 tonight. (Or they'll annoy me solely by announcing it the second I get to work, and have no immediate way to post my "Yay"s.)
View From The Top Posted 31 August, 2012 Posted 31 August, 2012 Skate? No, but he's always been a co.ck.

Guess Del P doesn't count from today so Inzaghi? and... is Crespo still around? To stop this well managed thread going off topic I went to Wiki... Well done to those that said Di Natale and Totti. List includes all time scorers so won't put them all up, here's a sample: No. 1 Silvio Piola (1929 - 1954) 274 goals No. 5 Totti 215 goals (still playing) No. 6 Baggio 205 goals No. 8 Signori and Del Piero 188 goals No. 10 Batistuta 184 goals No. 16 Inzaghi (only just retired in 2012 apparently or at least he's left Serie A so I wasn't far off with one of my guesses!) No. 21 Di Natale (still playing) and Crespo (retired from Serie A in 2012) No. 25 Gilardino (still playing) Now come on, lets sign Ramirez!!!
Saint Charlie Posted 31 August, 2012 Posted 31 August, 2012 Are we affected by the Italian transfer window closing earlier than in England? Think that sky feed is a fake btw
Bearsy Posted 31 August, 2012 Posted 31 August, 2012 Are we affected by the Italian transfer window closing earlier than in England? Doesn't affect outgoings
jasonb Posted 31 August, 2012 Posted 31 August, 2012 I thought the Bologna chairman put some sort of Thursday evening deadline on this??? I see they are signing players so must have the euros no? I've been calm but even I'm starting to hit F5
