SuperSAINT Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 Is swannymere ITK? I'm unsure of his ITK credentials
Bearsy Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 Apologies. I have removed it from the post. Me too! I was only joshing I know it weren't you it was the bell-end from twitters!
Frank's cousin Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 I'm unsure of his ITK credentials What creditials do you need to be ITK? I must surly be ITK as I know 100% certain that we know feck all about where this deal REALLY is right now..
Professor Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 I hope its true. That we really are exploring other options. If one of those options is Phillips so much the better although Blackpool must know that time is not on our side to prise him away. I have no reservations about Ramirez being a great player but I do wonder about him as a team player and how he fits into the stated aim of the kind of players we should try to sign. The size of the fee and the wages could create selection problems and be a strain on the wages structure that might cause unrest in the dressing room. One player for such a high fee is a lot of eggs in one basket if he was to be injured. I'd be happy to see him in a Saints shirt, but happier to see Matt Phillips or someone similar.
Wes Tender Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 Also, I'm assuming a lot have you have never been to Italy. If they manage to sought the loan out this week then it will have been done quickly. Laziest country in Europe. If you have been to Italy, which you infer you have, then you would know that Italy is a country split in two economically. The North is the economic powerhouse and has a per capita income level that we would be unable to turn up our noses at. They did not achieve that position through laziness in business matters. The South is largely agricultural and more backward. Bologna is firmly in the North the last time I looked, with a long history as a centre of learning and commerce. I'd even dispute whether the delays in these types of matters was caused by laziness, as bureacracy would probably be the more likely reason. Anyway, according to this survey in the Guardian, we are lazier than the Italians, so the delay is probably caused by we lazy English, although it might have been lengthened had we not had an Italian chief executive. http://www.guardian.co.uk/news/datablog/2012/jul/18/physical-inactivity-country-laziest
Saint Scott Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 Simon Peach @SimonPeach Rodriguez has just finished the press conf. Told me he doesn't speak Spanish so would struggle to help Gaston. The players think hes still going to sign?

Dig Dig Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 I'm unsure of his ITK credentials We need Glasgow Saint to verify this
Saint Scott Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 (edited) Southampton FC @officialsaints Nigel Adkins is next up as he looks ahead to #SaintsFC's first @premierleague home game in over seven years: Lets hope he lets on a little more today. If he is still coy about it then I think its still on, he usually opens up a little bit more when they fall through. Edited 23 August, 2012 by Saint Scott

He will say something about how the chairman is working hard behind the scenes to try and get deals done and then that will be the end of the transfer talk.

Not quite Greece yet but look at the interest rates on their bonds these days!
Saint Scott Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 Simon Peach @SimonPeach Just finished up with Nigel Adkins. Spoke Gaston, transfer targets & the like. Will report what he said once I have filed #SaintsFC No closer then I imagine.
wooley7 Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 Guly speaks Spanish, so it's fine. does he? He is brazilian and has played in Italy, can't see anything to make me think he would speak Spanish
Lighthouse Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 Guly speaks Spanish, so it's fine. Portuguese surely, although it is similar to Italian so they may be able to string a conversation together.
Tokyo-Saint Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 We are no doubt working hard behind the scenes to bring in some top targets. It is our endeavour to improve the squad and make the players we already have in the squad the best we possibly can. We have some fantastic training facilities, a first class stadium and what a place to play football.
Bearsy Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 Ain't portugese like virtually the same language as spanish? Fonte/Goolies

syd_barrett_saint Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 Does he? Most Brazilians can speak Spanish, all can understand it - Portuguese and Spanish are very similar languages, though Portuguese is more complex, so generally Portguese speakers can understand/speak Spanish (or at the very least, Portunol), whereas most Spanish speakers struggle with Portuguese.
buctootim Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 I'm going to regret letting you choose aren't I? Yes. But the rest of us aren't.

Will report what he said once I have filed #SaintsFC No closer then I imagine. Why would NA's generic rent a quote responses mean the deal is any closer? Ramirez could be under the table ****ing him off and he's still say the same thing.
syd_barrett_saint Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 Paulo Gazzaniga - similar age, South American, speaks Spanish. Of course that is no guarantee they will get on with each other, but its a start... Also, Gazzaniga is from Murphy, Santa Fe in Argentina, and Ramirez is from Fray Bentos in Uruguay, which if my geography serves me right are only about 150 miles apart. They were practically neighbours! (in South American terms... 150 miles is nothing). Besides that irrelevance, Uruguayans and Argentines share basically the same culture, and they are similar ages and share similar experiences (coming to Europe young to play football), so I would say there is a fair chance they will get on :-) Oh, and can a mod/admin PLEASE make me a full member again.

Hand signals where the order of the day generally!

Hand signals where the order of the day generally! I lived in Brazil for 6 months in Belo Horizonte and visited many parts of the country, including Sao Paulo (where Guly is from), Curitiba and Rio, and all understood my (Argentine) Spanish. Maybe Carlos speaks Spanish from Spain and they had problems understanding that? I also deal with Brazilian tourists most days in Buenos Aires and they all understand me in Spanish. Though maybe those from further north in Brazil or more remote areas might not, I guess. Skintsaint, while you are here, I'll use my last post of the day to repeat this: Please make me a full member again (or let an admin know if you can't do that as a mod). I paid my renewed subscription via PayPal ages ago. Thanks!
wireframebox Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 Guly may, or may not speak Spanish, but after both having several seasons in Italy, I'd hope they could both speak enough Italian to get by?...

Saint Scott Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 Simon Peach @SimonPeach Nigel Adkins is hopeful that #SaintsFC will be "very active" in the transfer market before the window closes next week. BBC Sport: A hacker is being blamed for breaking into Real Madrid's club website and creating a profile page for Croatia international Luka Modric. The 26-year-old is being heavily linked with a transfer to the Bernabeu but remains a Tottenham player. Full story: Metro Maybe someone should do the same and people on this thread will stop biting each others heads off.
Saint Scott Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 Simon Peach @SimonPeach Adkins refused to be drawn on Ramirez, Phillips or Olsson, but did say #SaintsFC "need to bring another centre-half if not two".
Saint Charlie Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 Inter Milan now favourites to land Ramirez! According to whom?
