Gaston Ramirez - Signs 4 Year Deal

[Bearsy]

did say #SaintsFC "need to bring another centre-half if not two".

 

July 13th called. They want their quotes back.

[Ohio Saint]

Inter Milan now favourites to land Ramirez!

 

A rival team? Maybe Bologna don't really rate him that highly?

sigh. basic rules of TSW need reminding again. If you have "heard it" from somewhere, say where, and when. If its just your opinion / gut feel / your granny hinted, then say so, and maybe even say why. thanks

Thanks for reminding me that despite having to trawl through rehashed stories from different 'sources', the gut instincts of saintsweb posters as polar as they are, the will he wont he do we know anything, its STILL better than circa 1992, having to phone clubcall at £2 a minute to get the same information

[Griff]

The only time I got near a Brazilian they just moaned

Sorry

So our deal fell through but they aren't willing to accept the amount we'll pay up front but they will accept a lesser offer front Inter and now Ramirez wasnt to stay in Italy???? I give up.

[JoeShmoe]

This is over, lets face it. Its finished

[Nexstar]

If this deal was dead then there would been no reason for Adkins not to say that.

[Appy]

Club call is about as reliable as a middle eastern billionaire in Portsmouth.

Is this a real rule or a unwritten main board rule enforced by certain posters?

[Saint Garrett]

Clubcall, Teamtalk, Goal.com, CaughtOffside are all crap sources. HTH.

[Appy]

A source has just told me its still on anyway.

[Thedelldays]

who is your source...ffs

[pingwing]

They are all about as ITK as my cat, who is currently out landing Messi for St Albans FC after Tom Cruise was in town making the place suddenly the most desirable on the planet.

[Bucks Saint]

All of the above.

think you have got mixed up between this msg board and your text chats with.....whoever it is

[Saint Charlie]

Bryan Swanson.

 

On SSN? He hasn't tweeted anything about it?

[buctootim]

This is over, lets face it. Its finished

 

Oh noes. Who is Guly going to speak Spanish to now?

[Appy]

On SSN? He hasn't tweeted anything about it?

 

Face to face convo at work. All up in the air but talks ongoing apparently.

 

Nothing new, just what I was told.

[The Majestic Channon]

my source tells me it may or may not happen, he's been spot on before when he told me there was no chance of us signing messi

watch this space

Brett24 told us ramirez would be signing 5pm yesterday

 

WUM

Quite probably the Macaronis in cahoots to jack the money up.

If in the 70's you could stuff the press positions behind the goals for European or International games full of guys with empty cameras banging off flash bulbs whenever the opposing foreign devils were attacking the home goal. Then add the recent dodgy dealings in Italian Football, mixed with the number of teams in financial strife, a bit of mutual back scratching to get some money in from overseas wealth would not be a surprise.

If Bologna are going to fanny about with €15m are they really going to settle for less than €10m that will no doubt be demanded to be paid in instalments.

Still keeps us entertained while nowt else is going on................. Probably all a massive smokescreen and 3 other bigger players are signing as we speak shrouded in the fug, for a big Taa-Daa moment.

[Sheaf Saint]

Ain't portugese like virtually the same language as spanish? Fonte/Goolies

 

Yeah I was in Portugal last month and was able to get by very easily with the little Spanish I know. The two vocabularies are something like 75-80% identical.

[Golden Balls]

I think we're clutching at straws thinking this will go through. I'd be very surprised if we pull it off now

[Dig Dig]

WUM

 

 

He needs to be banished to the UI like sfc1971. SWF do not negotiate with WUM's.

If that's the 案件, I suppose one 方法 to test it 是 to see whether 人 can understand this 郵寄. Approximately 75% 是 in English. The 其餘 is in Chinese.

[VectisSaint]

Oh noes. Who is Guly going to speak Spanish to now?

Don't know but he could speak Portuguese to Jose, Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese are about as close as British and American English.

This is stupidly encouraging from Nixon now he has laid it all out:

 

reluctantnicko: @d9scott U r so far down the line with Ramirez that I can't see u being put off by a minor issue.

 

reluctantnicko: @leeroysaints @d9scott Down to Bologna to sort out their financial affairs.

 

reluctantnicko: @ChrisHamerton @leeroysaints @d9scott Bologna want more up front. U have player onside and agent. That's why u think u will win. So do I.

 

reluctantnicko: @markreeves999 Bologna want money from deal. They want first payment to be bigger. They are looking at 'accelerating' the rest.

 

reluctantnicko: @adkinsisourking @markreeves999 Either Bologna get more of the money sooner from Saints. Or they find a finance house who will give them it.

 

reluctantnicko: @markreeves999 That's the only problem area. U know they need the money, so u r being equally difficult. No biggie. Strong position.

 

reluctantnicko: @markreeves999 @adkinsisourking U know they are scratching for cash. So u r 'squeezing their balls' a bit here.

 

reluctantnicko: @markreeves999 Two big egos at work here. But the guy with the cash usually wins.

 

reluctantnicko: @adkinsisourking @markreeves999 Default settings. U want player. Player wants u. Bologna can't find another better deal. Only one result.

 

reluctantnicko: @markreeves999 U now KNOW they need cash. So u r in control. Player and agent want to come. It's like chess and u have the pieces

 

reluctantnicko: @markreeves999 It's all pretty new for u as Saints have not been in this position before. Strange world.

 

--------------------------------------------

 

Nixon on Inter 'bid' and Spurs 'interest'

 

reluctantnicko: @ChrisHamerton @d9scott Italian waffle.

 

reluctantnicko: @leeroysaints @markreeves999 @adkinsisourking It is Bologna's way of looking for more money from u. A kid-on. Like Spurs and Inter 'bids'

No but I can as the kanji is probably 80-90 % the same as Japanese.

[sfc4prem]

Still hasn't signed yet... Was looking forward to watching him tear Wigan apart with Lallana.

[doubleonothing]

When I was in Montevideo I was wearing my sash shirt. I had a very good steak and the waiter asked me which team the shirt was for. I told him and he said he would keep an eye it for them.

 

That is my Uruguay/Saints story. I hope you enjoyed it.

This is only relevant if Ramirez had taken a part time job as a waiter. If so, then it appears all credit should go to you for convincing him to join.

A fine improvement on saint1971's Uruguay/Saints story.

Ramirez needs more practice at this new vocation. I have been waiting on him FFS

[Junction 9]

Is he still at the Limewood hotel? I bet he's getting a little bored now. Have you seen their room rates? Blimey.

I did, although I would like to have heard more about the steak. How do you like it cooked?

[Lazlo78]

Don't put your knife in his back. Eventually, we will fork out the millions - there's simply too much at steak here!

[for_heaven's_Saint]

I sure hope Nixon knows what he is talking about!

Peach - "Will there be any more signings before Saturday?"

 

Adkins - "Who knows!"

He is usually correct. He turned out to be wrong on the ol' "Adkins for the chop very quickly" by-line that turned up in the People. I tweeted him on that and he back-pedalled, so maybe his continual insistence that deal is still on is a good sign.

 

Even with the thing he got wrong, looks like he got some of that right. Said flat-out that Cortese had lofty ambitions in the transfer department, and here we are.

What a complete grade one **** you are. Always attacking other posters instead of offering your own opinions. Why you've not been banned from the site is beyond me - you've broken every rule in the book and still you get to post insults.

 

LOL!!! If you found my post offensive then clearly I've hit the target.
