saints-til-i-die Posted 21 August, 2012 Share Posted 21 August, 2012 If we don't get him, it's because we can't afford him. it's not because Cortese messed it up or he couldn't attract the player (he clearly could). Nobody wants to overspend and commit financial suicide... fair play rules anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thedelldays Posted 21 August, 2012 Share Posted 21 August, 2012 Yep. Well done Cortese for doing deals for players from Exeter, Colchester, Preston and Burnley. Add in a few loans and out of contract and out of favour players that's impressive. Not quite such a hit rate on players that will fullfill his European dream though is it. Bloody hell, we have been in the prem for 1 game. At least let a few European wonder kids mug us off before having a pop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Charlie Posted 21 August, 2012 Share Posted 21 August, 2012 Clearly Cortese has shown an abhorrent lack of awareness in completing this deal. Send him on a Prince II course - the guy is hopeless at identifying risk in transfer deals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, so as it stands, from what I've seen, Penarol have confirmed they've agreed their bit (thus writing off their part-ownership) but Bologna, last we heard, were angling for a different payment plan to the one we offered, wanting a lump sum of about 10 of the €15m up front and we weren't prepared to pay that much that soon.

Mowgli Posted 21 August, 2012 Share Posted 21 August, 2012 We are told the player wants to come to us We are told that the transfer fee has been agreed We are told the stumbling block is the method of payment (Bologna wanting more up front and quicker payment of the balance than is the accepted norm ) Question :- How many transfers have Failed because of the "method of payment" ??

SaintRichmond Posted 21 August, 2012 Share Posted 21 August, 2012 I believe players DO get tapped UP but nothing to SUGGEST that MAN UTD had ANYTHING to DO with the BUTTNER deal in FALLING through. If Man Utd wanted him they could have come in for him at any time and he would have gone to them. They wouldn't need to tap a player up to compete for a player with a club like ours Buttner himself has said that Man U expressed an interest one month ago That was about the time that Saints were expected to complete the deal, after the "mysterious" third party involvement Don't you at least smell a tiny rat ??

At least let a few European wonder kids mug us off before having a pop As usual, he's ahead of schedule, we're already getting "mugged off" by a South American. Never mind Champions League, Global tri-language transfers with 3rd party ownership are the World Club Championship of transfer dealings. And to labour the analogy, I'm surprised Penarol didn't kick seven shades out of him for our Liverpool kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why you keep your mouth shut about things like that as those interviews are going to look very silly if we're relegated. I'm not demanding we go out and spend £50m, just keep the European ambitions under wraps for now. Didn't Venky's say they had similar ambitions when they took over Blackburn?

Hard to keep up but one of the Bologna journos that has been quoted on twitter has said we havent agreed to Bologna demand of 10m euros up front with 5 across remainder of the year - thats a bit of a backtrack from the original position.

Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 21 August, 2012 Share Posted 21 August, 2012 The most likely outcome "Tapped up", just as Buttner was No it's not.

Dig Dig Posted 21 August, 2012 Share Posted 21 August, 2012 I should imagine that trying to sign a player like Gaston is like family planning....need to have a good grasp of when is appropriate to do it and need to be financially secure enough for the forseeable future.

Lord Duckhunter Posted 21 August, 2012 Share Posted 21 August, 2012 (edited) Buttner himself has said that Man U expressed an interest one month ago That was about the time that Saints were expected to complete the deal, after the "mysterious" third party involvement Don't you at least smell a tiny rat ?? The Dutch talksport football bloke was on H & J this afternoon. He was asked about Buttner, "is he a good player for Man Utd" the reply was "Ummmmmmmmmmmm, I dont want to run the guy down" Then went on to say "his "dream" move was Southampton, everybody here is surprised he ended up and Manchester". Guy was then asked "why did the Southampton deal fall through", replied "there were too many fingers in the pie, and they walked away. FIFA are all over international transfers and Vitesse Arnhem have been warned before" Dont know what this meant or what was implied, but defo said it fell through because we walked away. Then said that he has been told he will have to play in the res for a year, while Utd work on his game, but he heard that from his father as the Man Utd machine had clicked into gear and he was not allowed to say anything, until he's unvieled. Which he thought would be Fri. Then said "you can normally tell which Dutch players will do well in England". One of H & J then said "well we can make out what you think of him".
