Seriously Turkish, whatsa matta you!!?!

[david in sweden]

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 .

 

 

I don't think this problem is our fault if you interpret it ;

 

Bologna need money to survive...we won't pay everything up front, but spread out over a year or more ( that's fairly normal and fair....btw)

 

They want their own bank to give them credit for £12 million, and make pay- back payments when we give then the balance is 6-12 months time.

 

Their bank won't play ......

 

I'm sure that there is a "Pompey-type saga" here - Bologna surely have bigger debts outstanding but need a certain sum in order to survive....can't blame their bank for not throwing good money after bad ..

Does everyone remember our problem iwith ..Barclays - was it ? ...in 2009 ...before we went into administration.

 

I don't know if Cortese is playing his cards close to his chest, but it is surely highly unusual to pay everything up front, especially with this type of money!

...and the Bologna chairman seems to contradict himself at every turn....

 

Pity ! .....good player .....bad club.

[pap]

He'll be to us what Robinho was to City

 

In terms of wow factor, hopefully. In terms of application and commitment, hopefully not.

But what if Bologna don't sell. How are they better off? They will have turned down the 5-8m that we have probably offered to pay up front - porbably with the hope that they can find a club who will give them 15m upfront (which won't happen).

[SaintJackoInHurworth]

Deal is still on. This was just tweeted

 

@therealmarklawrenson looks like I was wrong about Ramirez, he'll be a Southampton player by the weekend.

 

That's amazing! Great news. I also notice a load more tweets on it now - including one or two by you:

 

@jordansibley: An exciting announcement will be made at 11.30pm tonight. I think some of you can guess what it will be!

 

@TurkishSaint: Ha - I don't believe for a minute we have signed Ramirez. If so I will strip naked and spend an evening at the @BlueOyster gay bar in the nude.

 

@BlueOyster: You would be more than welcome to do that.

 

@CypriotSaint: @TurkishSaint I dare you to do it if it really happens.

 

@TurkishSaint: @CypriotSaint I have no hesitation in making this promise cos it isn't gonna happen!

 

@reluctantnicko: The deal is done! El Banko Nacionale di Bologna has approved a loan for Bologna and the transfer will be completed within the hour.

 

@SimonPeach: The news #Southampton fans have been waiting for should be announced VERY soon! Ramirez is 100% coming to Saints!

 

@CypriotSaint: @TurkishSaint Mate, you know that promise you made about the @BlueOyster...?

 

@BlueOyster: @TurkishSaint We are looking forward to welcoming you!

 

@TurkishSaint: @CypriotSaint It's a lie and I'm never going to believe it - not even if it is on the OS.

 

 

 

 

 

[yorkiesaint]

Can we see the poll results hour by hour?

[Colinjb]

Enough with the fake tweets.

f*cking sweet!!

[Thedelldays]

f*cking sweet!!

I don't think its true

[mulletsaint]

Which is why the club dont comment on speculation. Too many can't cope with the fact that some deals go through and some don't - and guess what? it's nobody's fault.

 

Not strictly true, I'd imagine it's somebody's fault just not necessarily someone from our end. Then again it could be...

 

And here lies the crux of the matter, it's all speculation. No one really knows. Believe what you want just don't force your view down people's throats. Try to take a balanced view based on all available information. Too many imbalanced ones unfortunately.

[Bucks Saint]

Enough with the fake tweets.

 

You mean all tweets surely? Same thing

[Guan 2.0]

FFS, please enough with the gimmicks in this thread

 

BTW Mods - can we have a poll to see who thinks these are fake or authentic tweets? Thank you.

[pap]

Real tweets do at least live on Twitter.

[Monk]

This is ****ing boring now.

 

Glad its all over.

[The9]

Not true, if they gave complete transparency then the majority of people would be happy with that.

 

Wow, there's some complete nonsense for you.

[mulletsaint]

Always good to have a chuckle lol

 

If only someone could supply the humour

[del boy]

FFS, please enough with the gimmicks in this thread

Ooh sorry, that came over a bit like a lecture didn't it? Must be the parent in me. Just finished handing one out to the kids and must have just got caught in up in the mood.

[Stepgar]

f*cking sweet!!

 

You been suckered there fella. If you really want to know why don't you follow Sibley on Twittor.

Jesus, you put a lot of time into making those up. Nice job.

[Dibden Purlieu Saint]

It clear that you have never been involcved in any contract negotiations involving any significant amounts of cash then (except possibly once and you were sacked shortly afterwards).

 

There's no pulling the wool over your eyes is there?

[The9]

I am also on page 86, can someone clarify how that works ?

[Tokyo-Saint]

The one I feel sorry for is the poor fecker that has just spent 13 hours on a plane to Argentina to meet Penerol. No sooner has he landed than he finds out Wonga.com have rejected the loan and he has to get back on a plane again. He might as well stay out there with his suitcase of cash for when Liverpool/Tottenham come in for him.

[Bobbyboy]

Not Barry The Briefcase, surely?

[for_heaven's_Saint]

'tis not over yet.

[B Rabbit]

Boooo....

 

Consequence of finishing work and jumping straight to page 69 rather than reading the previous 5 since lunch....

I've just got a Tweet from him Tokyo-Saint and as we speak he's logging on to paydayloans.com. That's the good news, the bad news is that it's 2974% APR. But I've just texted him a discount code from the advert on Sky so the deal should still go through.

[pap]

Christ, have you see this one?

Ah, reminds me of a mate I knew from Uni whose idea of a Spanish chat-up line was "sucko cocko". Probably the only person to go to Benidorm and not get laid.

[lifeintheslowlane]

I'm puzzled as I'm on page 93 but I can tell you...that was the best début from a Saints player...ever!!

 

Gaston's first half hattrick was a joy to behold...great signing NC and NA...Champions League here we come.

[Turkish]

He probably didn't say it very loudly and very slowly.

That's why you are the brains of the operation bletch!

Now there you go again - being logical.

 

You can see that... and I can see that.... but all these others ....**** (tough world sometimes isn't it ?)

[SaintNeil90]

This threads boring now

Im on page 278 and 18 months after signing and a promising start he only playing 3 times has now gone back to Uruguay for surgery on a mysterious knee injury which has blighted his time here.

[SaintsAhoy]

I'm on page 9,314 and still the same old helmets posting the same old drivel

[Weston Saint]

Aren't we selling out against Wigan on that page either then?

[S-Clarke]

Is this thread trying to rival the pompey takeover saga or something?

 

Basically, nothing has happened today. Not sure if that's good or bad.

[Avenue Saint]

Let's keep it on topic please guys.

[This Charming Man]

Now there you go again - being logical.

 

You can see that... and I can see that.... but all these others ....**** (tough world sometimes isn't it ?)

 

They still have their prize player and a valuable asset.

 

How do you know so much about the intricate details of Bologna's financial situation? How do you know they haven't got enough to hold on to him until Jan and sell him in the over priced January transfer window after he had a decent start to the season?

 

Your view is only logical because it's the view you've chosen to adopt. I doubt the Bologna fans who were preparing to declare war on the club president if Ramirez was sold would class your view as logical. It would appear the bank manager also didn't view the situation as logical...

[Roger]

I've stuck up for the club but am getting a bit concerned. I feel there must be a little but more they could do to keep us a bit more updated.

[John Boy Saint]

Feck sake, page 63, ME ME ME ME I pointed it out first...........

Sincere apologies BB Bob: I think my insomnia might have been cured between pages 62 & 64.....................

 

Apologies everyone for my brief interruption................. Have I missed 'owt since page 66:sorry been out earning a crust.

"For those asking i am confident #saintsfc will sign Ramirez. Think agent quotes saying deal is dead is an attempt to panic Bologna"

[S-Clarke]

The article on sky, It just a nonsensical reason for a transfer to fail -

It would, however, appear as though they have been unable to complete a notable capture, with financial troubles at Bologna posing a problem.

 

Well, any money from us would ease those troubles somewhat.....Bizarre stalemate situation!

[Saint_lambden]

Seems like he's playing games.

It's been the case all along. Sit back and watch it unfold. 6 days to go.

Yep, thought the same. Reports were that Cortese met Betancourt before anybody else, that the two have engineered the move. Whether he's doing our bidding or independently talking is another matter.

[Olallana]

It's been the case all along. Sit back and watch it unfold. 6 days to go.

 

6 days?

We need him for Stevenage game, otherwise we´re not interested?
