Atlanta Saint Posted 21 August, 2012 Share Posted 21 August, 2012 If Ramirez is rumoured to be off to the scousers for 50% more than what we offered good luck to him, He'll spend a lot of time sitting on their bench. Lets go get Adam Johnson especially if Adebayor cost only 5Mill. I'm sure we could get Johnson for the same fee as we offered Bologna......His wages may be an issue though.

Heaven's no, Johnson is in no way worth €18m. Mind you with Sinclair off to Citeh to be a bench warmer I bet Johnson feels his bench warming position is under threat.

SB Posted 21 August, 2012 Share Posted 21 August, 2012 Last PM I sent was to the Kraken two weeks ago. Fair enough, but who says the deals dead? Or is that statement in your opinion? Not particularly aimed at you, but it amazes me the amount of people that claim to have inside information, the MW and crouch days leaked information like a sieve, however unless you are NC, NA or one of the few high end saints staff nobody will know what's going on.

sambosa75 Posted 21 August, 2012 Share Posted 21 August, 2012 I'm saying no, purely because I think we need to move on and bring in other targets. I just think we cannot protract the negotiations any further. As good a signing as I think it would be, we have other areas far more in need of addressing.

As people keep saying, we can do more than one deal at any one time. Where has this come from that clubs can only work on 1 deal at any one time? Of course it doesn't work like that. Clubs have loads of deals going on at the same time, some happen, some don't - but it's silly to think that you can only work on 1 transfer at a time.

JustMike Posted 21 August, 2012 Share Posted 21 August, 2012 Voted No, mainly due to source that gave me the heads up on this last week not feeling it anymore. NC has a history of pulling out once we start to get messed around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know but given that there has been a fair amount of speculation on every deal we have done so far, I'm starting to get a little twitchy that all our efforts are being focussed on getting this one over the line. Not working on any inside info, just a feeling. Happy to be proven wrong of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itchen_dan Posted 21 August, 2012 Share Posted 21 August, 2012 I've been positive since the day it was announced but today I have just lost all confidence and resigned to the fact he just isn't gonna come here. Hugely disappointed but I trust The Don and NA to sort out the other positions and have a successful season. We proved on Sunday that we have more than enough quality for a successful first season back at this level and maybe after 1 year in the PL, we'll be able to attract even bigger names here next summer?

Dr Octopus Posted 21 August, 2012 Share Posted 21 August, 2012 I voted no due to the messing about from the other parties involved. I still feel we're being used like a teenagers box of Kleenex to pimp this guy out to other clubs. If he does sign I will be very happy as long as he lives up to his price tag.

Your basing your opinion on whether it happens or not on the basis that you think we will be spending 100% of our time of the Ramirez deal? Regardless if we have or we haven't, I don't think it can be argued that we already spent a considerable amount of time on it. I'm just not going to be logging on, checking this thread constantly for updates and then start crying when it doesn't happen. Bologna know the deal on the table. It might not appeal that much to them now, but if they are in financial dire straits as is reported, one assumes it will look a damn sight better on Thursday/Friday next week, as long as no other offers are made for him in the meantime by anyone else.

Clubs have loads of deals going on at the same time, some happen, some don't - but it's silly to think that you can only work on 1 transfer at a time. With large transactions, it does make it harder -less in terms of the time needed to negotiate than the uncertainty it creates over how much money there is to finance deals, especially if the transaction represents a large chunk of your transfer budget. Hard to be taken seriously if your money is limited and people know you have other preferred options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
