ART Posted 22 August, 2012 Share Posted 22 August, 2012 It's DEAD, MORT, FINITO. It's on SKY ESPN, and every paper in the land. We'd have had more chance getting Pompey a loan than this version Italiano Bologna. Why hasn't Liebherr bought out Bologna and transfered the entire squad to us.

modern matron Posted 22 August, 2012 Share Posted 22 August, 2012 Simon Peach and Peter White both reported very similar things at almost the same time, clearly tipped off by someone close to Saints...opposite view to Bologna and Saints have their own agenda but interesting and by no means deal off. Peter White @peterwhite_1 Saints deal for Ramirez nearly done Fee agreed but there is still a problem because cash strapped Bologna want all of fee. More.. #saintsfc Peter White @peterwhite_1 Bologna trying to secure loan and pay back as Saints pay them. NC not happy and set to give ultimatum, agree now or deal off! #saintsfc Peter White @peterwhite_1 @supmarkus Bologna on brink cash wise and need the £12million just to ensure survival #saintsfc Simon Peach @SimonPeach #SaintsFC & Bologna have agreed a fee & payment plan for Ramirez. The hold up is because the Rossoblù are trying to sort out their finances. Simon Peach @SimonPeach #SaintsFC have also sorted out agreement with Ramirez's former club Penarol for their 30%. Hold up is Bologna messing around with finances. Simon Peach @SimonPeach If #SaintsFC get messed around by Bologna & the deal collapses, there are other targets on the radar. I think it'll go through, though. Simon Peach @SimonPeach Ramirez negotiations "definitely ended" & #SaintsFC looking elsewhere says his agent. I'd suggest games are being played & it's still on.

Saint Charlie Posted 22 August, 2012 Share Posted 22 August, 2012 (edited) Sorry Charlie but who are these guys and why should I believe them above the rest of the media world? Both are football Journalists based in the South. Simon Peach from Press Association posts on here occassionally and has a line into Sibley. Think its strange both are saying almost same thing (posted at nearly the same time) suggests it was fed by Saints, like the Bologna journalists are given info by sources at their club. If its true or not Im not sure, but most likely has been given to them by SFC so at worst they (SFC) are trying to show that its not our "fault" if the deal doesn't happen and at best SFC are confident it will be overcome. As for the post above, Peach has never tweeted things just to please the fans...he will post the info he is given, as the Bologna Journalists are. Both sides telling a different story so hard to see truth beneath the agendas. Edited 22 August, 2012 by Saint Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Le God Posted 22 August, 2012 Share Posted 22 August, 2012 Sorry but who are these guys and why should I believe them above the rest of the media world? Simon Peach is a Press Association journalist, a Saints fan and is quite matey with those in the Saints media department. Compared to many journalists, he is reliable for Saints news.

yorkie Posted 22 August, 2012 Share Posted 22 August, 2012 Am I the only one genuinely excited about the prospect of signing Ramirez? As far as I can tell the deal would never got off the ground if Italy was not in such financial difficulties - it's a bargain in footballing terms. Where else can you buy a 21-year old international who has played in Europe for £12m? Oxo cost a lot more relatively and totally unproven at any level above League 1! I can't pull myself away from looking to see if he has signed - and sure it's like on a matchday when you can't get a commentary or a stream - blink and has the score changed - F5! I just wish all the personal abuse (not really banter is it?) would disappear it's so childish for grown men to act like petulent children because they don't agree! What next cyber warriors sending PM's to warn them of an impending visit with a baseball bat or even a gun? This used to be a good forum with banter without all the abuse.

Same - really hope we get it done. With Phillips or another winger too then we would have a quality attacking lineup. If the CB we get is half decent then should have a great season.

The Fact is a deal isnt ever really dead until he signs for someone else. Think Billy Sharp and Jay Rod both signed after initial bids were rejected and then followed up 6 months later.

The daft scale of this thread should give you the answer you seek. It's the usual blend of emotions, there should be no doubt of the type of impact this guy could have but the mixture of disbelief, aggresion, amusement and defensive behaviour just shows that even the most negative of people on here dearly want a coup of this type to happen.

pap Posted 22 August, 2012 Share Posted 22 August, 2012 My level of excitement about a transfer normally involves a bit of daydreaming about how he'll fit into the team, and the sort of improvement it'll bring to our chances and reputation. If he signs, it'll be a massive step forward on a number of fronts. First, he's a gateway to a better quality of player. Then there is the improvement we'll get in the team. Finally, NC comes out of this smelling of roses - and other teams won't perceive us as a soft touch. Essential signing for this precise moment in time.

Saint Scott Posted 22 August, 2012 Share Posted 22 August, 2012 Why has every signing this window dragged on so much. Jay Rod, Clyne and this. Plus you could include Buttner in that. It's one thing being precautious and not being mugged off by the selling club, but NC just seems to want everything on his terms with no room for movement. I assume that's why we missed out on Butland and maybe Hooper last year. We need a conclusion to this deal now, if your not willing to pay more put it to bed and spend the next 9 days getting the right players in. The last thing we want is panic buying on deadline day and getting even more conned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
