Robsk II Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 It's actually 200 from Charming man as he is me. You're about as charming as Hypochondriac. Sorry, that was a bit harsh.
Glasgow_Saint Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 It's actually 200 from Charming man as he is me. That makes you number 1 on this thread! congrats
Fitzhugh Fella Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 This really has been the most painful of drawn out transfers. This guy looks class and could be a defining influence in our season. I can't see any other club at this late stage gazumping us or bringing Bologna to heel but if Liverpool or Spurs do pull something off, perhaps that will tell us something about our modus operandi when it comes to transfers. I have believed us getting Gaston was going to happen but am starting to think the sands of time are running out now and the shame is we have wasted time and energy on a transfer when we could have been looking at other targets. I think in future I don't want to know anything until it actually happens - as they say its the unrequited hope that gets you in the end!
Glasgow_Saint Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 Same with Saint Charlie, they are on the pulse and providing us with an excellent service. Thanks guys x Youve posted nearly 100x on here too..... Wheres your finger?
Dig Dig Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 Youve posted nearly 100x on here too..... Wheres your finger? No where near a pulse
Saint Scott Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 I really hope we wrap this up now. Jarvis is reported to be under going a medical at Wet Spam and Swansea have declared their interest in Tom Ince. If they were both to happen I think we'd find it even hard to prize Phillips away from Holloways clutches.
SaintNeil90 Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 Rodriguez press conference... Interviewer: 'Just wondering, do you speak any Spanish?' JR: 'No no me Dad does but never bothered to learn me so...' Interviewer: 'Because I was going to see if you could help Gaston Ramirez settle in if you can speak some' JR: 'Yea I've tried to but the conversations quite hard because I cant speak it' Sound like he has been over and met the players then.

Spudders Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 I suspect there will be multiple erections if he does sign :lol:

I think in future I don't want to know anything until it actually happens - as they say its the unrequited hope that gets you in the end! Sorry FF dont agree - all that has happened since we were last in teh prem is Twitter and instant rumour has just fired the imagination - I believe many a transfer/club gioes through thsi but we have been out this level of spotlight for some time and alot has changed since we broke all records on 'Delap'. The only reason folk are tired of it all after only 5 days is because we have seen about 200 tweets all with opposite messaging, subtle hints based on no real facts. We are just not used to our transfers being subject to this level of scrutiny or interest. Lets be honest we did what most would consider the hardest part, convince the player he should come here. The fact that it appears (and this is all speculation) that Bologna recognise that if Lowly saints will pay 15 mil someone else may pay more is part of the game now - we play it, but we play it on our terms and I think that is fair enough. Its risky enough at 15 mil for a player who looks great, but may not settle in England or the prem as others have failed before him. I for one am glad we set our stall out, our valuation of the player and level of risk and are sticking to our guns on this. So your questioning of our modus operandi doe snot really fit with a fair view of the ongoing 'saga'...
Saint Scott Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 What's Jarvis to do with Holloway or Phillips? He hasn't but the fact we were rumoured at some point to be chasing him and Phillips. My point was we will miss out on our short list for concentrating purely on this deal.

Saint Scott Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 Who said we were concentrating on one deal FFS! Well it seems that way. We were being linked with players daily in tabloids and there has been nothing other than articles on Ramirez in the last few days.

SuperSAINT Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 Peach - "Will there be any more signings before Saturday?" Adkins - "Who knows!" Picture paints a thousand words... Quality post, MLG
Turkish Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 Who said we were concentrating on one deal FFS! I find it incredible tht people think we do this.

I think in future I don't want to know anything until it actually happens - as they say its the unrequited hope that gets you in the end! There's a simple way of sorting that. Don't use the Internet, listen to the radio, watch the local news or read the papers
Matthew Le God Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 Quality post, MLG It is a true story aswell.
Glasgow_Saint Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 It is a true story aswell. Accept he makes that smile at the end of the interview, not after the question as you suggest
Jez Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 I'm on page 100 of this thread now. I'm excited by that. Still not sure why I am viewing a different page number to everyone else though. Still, now it has got to 100 pages (for me), he is defintely going to sign tomorrow. As it is Friday.
SaintNeil90 Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 Accept he makes that smile at the end of the interview, not after the question as you suggest But... he makes it after someone asks if we will have any new faces in by Saturday.
krissyboy31 Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 But... he makes it after someone asks if we will have any new faces in by Saturday. Sounds like he thinks that something is likely to happen, It is even put in words at the bottom of the Skysports report "Adkins would not give anything away in terms of the immediacy of any arrivals, smiling and saying "who knows?" when asked whether any would arrive in time for Saturday's clash with his former club Wigan."
Glasgow_Saint Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 But... he makes it after someone asks if we will have any new faces in by Saturday. True
Ohio Saint Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 True That was post #4000. You coulda tried harder!
Spudders Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 That was post #4000. You coulda tried harder! If it's good enough for spandau ballet then it should be good enough for this thread
itchen_dan Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 peterwhite_1: Nothing official on Ramirez but understand talks ongoing to try to resolve matter and get signing done #saintsfc
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 peterwhite_1: Nothing official on Ramirez but understand talks ongoing to try to resolve matter and get signing done #saintsfc Good stuff, and cheers for the updates.

JustMike Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 Simon Peach @SimonPeach Led to believe rumours of a Ramirez-to-#SaintsFC announcement tonight are ********. Chill out, have a pint & put your feet up. I will be.

I've kind of actually done some work today, rather than read this!

itchen_dan Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 peterwhite_1: Even if deal is m close there's so much to do. Personal terms, medical etc so could still take a while to complete #saintsfc I thought he had agreed terms?

Mowgli Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 Well I'm still optimistic this will come off and I find it quite exciting.Why? Because Liverpool and Spurs were linked with him. Why? Because it is huge money. Why? Because everyone tells me he is a great prospect. But if I'm honest- I had to google him when his name first appeared because it meant sod all to me at the time. Personally I think that makes me a bit of a Lemming but I hope I'm wrong..... ... If it does not come off I shall have serious word with myself.
JustMike Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 What's the starred out word! "Accurate"??? lol!
Georgie Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 First I've heard of any announcement rumours anyway. Unless I'm totally out of date on this thread today. I've kind of actually done some work today, rather than read this! A few rumours on fb about it. Someone claiming they work at the ground and deal was going to be announced at 11pm. Yeah right
itchen_dan Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 peterwhite_1: @Saintsareback Clearly NC and NA want Ramirez or they would have pulled plug by now. But these things take time #saintsfc peterwhite_1: @Saintsareback I think Bologna are still buying time. They don't want deal to collapse or they are in desperate trouble #saintsfc
Saint Scott Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 “@SimonPeach: Oh, at The Ship in Wandworth should anyone want to come get me a drink. I will divulge transfer info for cider. Seems a fair deal.” Someone get down there and get this man a drink.
Glasgow_Saint Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 What's the starred out word! "Accurate"??? Think its "Truthful" links in with the pm from Peach earlier
Crazy Diamond Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 Oh God, I thought it couldn't get any worse. I was wrong. We're in the 'announcement at...' stage. Can't people just wait?
Glasgow_Saint Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 Can we have a poll for announcement time? Please justmike
Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 “@SimonPeach: Oh, at The Ship in Wandworth should anyone want to come get me a drink. I will divulge transfer info for cider. Seems a fair deal. Someone get down there and get this man a drink. ********, was there until 7.
BARCELONASAINT Posted 23 August, 2012 Posted 23 August, 2012 Oh God, I thought it couldn't get any worse. I was wrong. We're in the 'announcement at...' stage. Can't people just wait? Everyone relax, there will be no announcement tonight. I suggest you all turn your computers of, put Sky on and watch Barca v Madrid!

Maybe he's not complete up to date with it...!
