Thedelldays Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 Oh my word lol This will shut people like me up about our transfer window Follow this up with a CB and we will be laughing Will still be bottom after 4 games lol
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 ''Ramierz, Southampton approaches'' Now, does this mean that we have made an approach for him or is it as in 'Southampton awaits you'...
S-Clarke Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 Now' date=' does this mean that we have made an approach for him or is it as in 'Southampton awaits you'...[/quote'] More along the lines of agreement/conclusion between Ramirez and Southampton approaches, possibly
S-Clarke Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 JayR @Jay_78_ Southampton paying £20m for Gaston Ramirez? Surely not? If so the worlds gone mad - official. Where the **** are they getting £20m from? lol. Here come the LFC fans. Matthew Pettitt @Matsmad How do #LFC and #thfc get our bid for gaston ramirez by Southampton?? Crazy football world!
Golden Balls Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 It's euros but the Liverpool fans seem baffled on twitter
S-Clarke Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 As much as I'm still skeptical that we'll be able to do it, I cannot help but be slightly excited to even be talking about outbidding Inter, Liverpool and Spurs.
Thedelldays Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 He is also 6ft So not a midget winger. Should be half decent in the air. Maybe
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 I can't help but be pessimistic that we're getting our hopes up for nothing. Would love it if it happened.
dubai_phil Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 I really can't believe we'd pull this off. Join you in that thought. But Jeez IF we did that puts the entire plan in a different light......... Until you go back to basics, we will get a min of 60mil being back in the PL, so even WITH this "big tent thingy" potential signing we still have more cash in the bank from TV than the PST could dream about
S-Clarke Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 Danny Morris @Danny__LFC Gaston Ramirez- could have had Spurs/Liverpool. Picks Southampton. Won't matter, he'll fail the medical due to him obviously being on drugs. lol
SuperSAINT Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 Oh my word lol This will shut people like me up about our transfer window Follow this up with a CB and we will be laughing Will still be bottom after 4 games lol Think Cortese read your thread, and you p*ssed him off sufficiently enough to get things moving, DD.
Thedelldays Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 Danny Morris @Danny__LFC Gaston Ramirez- could have had Spurs/Liverpool. Picks Southampton. Won't matter, he'll fail the medical due to him obviously being on drugs. lol They are just gutted because they have just signed a Moroccan nobody
The9 Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 The9 must know what the reliability of these rumours are. Would be an incredible signing! I am confused by even being considered in this equation.
JustMike Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 A few other twitterers have mentioned this now too. Also fits in to the "millions" I was talking about on the hcdajfu thread.
S-Clarke Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 They are just gutted because they have just signed a Moroccan nobody For 18 million squid.
The9 Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 He probably won't get a work permit. If he's got dual Italian citizenship he doesn't need one. For some reason I've vaguely recalled that being the case from his Wiki. Hang on... EDIT : Nah, I made it up apparently, but same goes if he's got a Spanish passport...
MOSaint Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 Compared to the sh*te Liverpool were spunking 18m on last summer, Ramirez is a bargain.
Turkish Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 If he's got dual Italian citizenship he doesn't need one. For some reason I've vaguely recalled that being the case from his Wiki. Hang on... Bore off will you I was trying to worry everyone
S-Clarke Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 If he's got dual Italian citizenship he doesn't need one. For some reason I've vaguely recalled that being the case from his Wiki. Hang on... EDIT : Nah, I made it up apparently, but same goes if he's got a Spanish passport... I can fix that for you and add it to his Wiki profile.
Jack Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 Transfer budget? Wage budget? Can't see it myself.
Jack Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 Probably just a bluff to get Blackpool moving on the Phillips deal. Wouldn't that be an anticlimax...
Pat from Poole Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 Danny Morris @Danny__LFC Gaston Ramirez- could have had Spurs/Liverpool. Picks Southampton. Won't matter, he'll fail the medical due to him obviously being on drugs. lol Very funny.
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 Need to see it from some more credible sources.
The Kraken Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 We're going to be the new Middlesbrough; millions spent on players like Juninho and Ravanelli up front, supported by the likes of Curtis Fleming, Robbie Mustoe and Steve Vickers behind them.
S-Clarke Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 The guy who has reported the latest has followed the activity surrounding him all summer, very reliable source apparently (well, I guess he has to be as he works for Sky sport in Italy) It still might not happen, but I'm excited about our ambition.
Turkish Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 We're going to be the new Middlesbrough; millions spent on players like Juninho and Ravanelli up front, supported by the likes of Curtis Fleming, Robbie Mustoe and Steve Vickers behind them. And lose in two cup finals and get relegated?
The Kraken Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 And lose in two cup finals and get relegated? We can only dream; it might get us into Europe, after all.
Katalinic Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 Seems like there is an awful lot of smoke to this rumour for there not to be some truth in it. Desperately trying not to get too excited only to be disappointed.
hypochondriac Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 Not excited till it actually happens. We have been linked with loads of players.
Saint Charlie Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 If this happens...wow. Even if he just uses us a stepping stone it would be a class signing.
dubai_phil Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 (edited) Pinch me I think I'm dreaming. It's OK, it's not real. I watched The Wall on TCM this evening. Shouldda re-watched the Godfather & the Horse's head. NEVER underestimate the value of a Horses head or a negotiation held on a Yacht 20 miles out to sea off the coast of Monaco.... I read about you on Wikik, we are 20 miles out to sea, I make you an offer you can't refuse..." Swim home to Bologna with this tied around your ankles. Simples Edited 16 August, 2012 by dubai_phil
Windmill Arm 2 Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 Dear oh dear, there's gonna be uproar on here when all this is proven to be a load of old bollix.
BlakeySFC Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 (edited) Dear oh dear, there's gonna be uproar on here when all this is proven to be a load of old bollix. Don't think anyone's getting carried away, just think we're all getting excited for the ambition on show by Cortese. And it's an IF its proven to be a load of old ****** not WHEN at the moment, no one really knows either way at this stage Edited 16 August, 2012 by BlakeySFC
Jack Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 Dear oh dear, there's gonna be uproar on here when all this is proven to be a load of old bollix. Correct. A media leak to get one of the clubs moving who can realistically afford him.
Dig Dig Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 Dear oh dear, there's gonna be uproar on here when all this is proven to be a load of old bollix. Enough has been written about by a few journalists close to Italian football. It's clearly not BS that we are interested. Getting it done is another thing all together. Fair play to the club was having a crack, no one can complain about that. ***awaits reply about wasting our time and not signing a CB***
verlaine1979 Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 Reminds me of when we agreed a fee for Andy Reid on transfer deadline day many years ago. Successfully flushed a bigger club out of the trees and he went there. Spurs, wasn't it?
um pahars Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 We must be in the mix somewhere which is mental enough in itself!! Imagine we'll need to blow our wage record as well as transfer fee if he's already turned down Spurs though.
Thedelldays Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 Reminds me of when we agreed a fee for Andy Reid on transfer deadline day many years ago. Successfully flushed a bigger club out of the trees and he went there. Spurs, wasn't it? Amazing how the standard of player in question has changed lol
Crab Lungs Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 Correct. A media leak to get one of the clubs moving who can realistically afford him. Don't understand why we would bother arsing around and going that far down the line if we didn't have a realistic chance of signing him. Surely we would be better off focusing our efforts on players who will join, not endlessly indulging in contractual foreplay with someone who isn't interested in joining us.
S-Clarke Posted 16 August, 2012 Posted 16 August, 2012 Conor Swain @ConorSwain Boy we'd look so stupid if we signed Gaston Ramirez #SaintsFC Absolutely, we'd look like right idiots. I'd be so embarrassed.
