sotonjoe Posted 27 August, 2012 Posted 27 August, 2012 I posted this earlier but Spurs main target is Willian from Shaktar Dontesk. They had a £11.8m (€15m) bid rejected this morning. They will go back with an improved offer no doubt. Yeh, reports of Spurs having other high profile targets make things seem positive at the moment, but as I'm sure we're all aware there's always a chance that the press have got it wrong or that they simply change their mind etc etc. I'm just keen for Saints to push it through if they've got this close without being gazumped by the 'big boys' at the last moment, and am aware that we should be aware that Spurs have just received a big sum of cash which could change their ability to do a deal if they decide to give it another go.
sotonjoe Posted 27 August, 2012 Posted 27 August, 2012 Anyway, has anyone got any pics of his wife or girlfriend for us to eye-up whist we wait for something to happen?

But did they just recieve a big sum of cash? I have no idea how the Modric transfer is structured...
It's There Posted 27 August, 2012 Posted 27 August, 2012 Ramirez will add quality and some extra spark- while adding competition for places and creating more uncertainty for the opposition with his ability to pass quickly and create as well as score goals- hope he's ready for Sunday- sign up quickly!
Lazlo78 Posted 27 August, 2012 Posted 27 August, 2012 Anyway, has anyone got any pics of his wife or girlfriend for us to eye-up whist we wait for something to happen? Apparently he's hooked up with some bird he met at a hairdressers in Texas!

yorkie Posted 27 August, 2012 Posted 27 August, 2012 I'll use one of my three to get the target of 100-pages! Really not sure about this - he is the right age, he certainly has international qulaity (something we lack) and who knows what he will add to the squad! If it is a done neal as stated - welcome Gaston - break a leg...oh no he's not a luvvie!
mynameisthehulk Posted 27 August, 2012 Posted 27 August, 2012 100? 12 posts to go...page 100 will start with the signing confirmed by the OS
milton_saint Posted 27 August, 2012 Posted 27 August, 2012 Shall we watch this while we wait? any other good clips out there?
milton_saint Posted 27 August, 2012 Posted 27 August, 2012 Would he be the first Uruguayan at Saints?
obelisk Posted 27 August, 2012 Posted 27 August, 2012 The expectations on this young man are going to be somewhat on the high side. Hope he can handle it.
Lazlo78 Posted 27 August, 2012 Posted 27 August, 2012 Did i make it 100? No. Sorry, come back next year!
Draino76 Posted 27 August, 2012 Posted 27 August, 2012 So all we have to do is get to 100 pages then said player signs. In fairness to my employer in future I shall start reading about page 95.
itchen_dan Posted 27 August, 2012 Posted 27 August, 2012 Bologna-Southampton: Agreement reached Gastòn Ramirez By Gianluca Lucini The English club will pay into the coffers of Bolognese € 14 million for the playmaker. You probably already in the day the official announcement. Bologna and Southampton have reached an agreement for the transfer to England's Uruguayan playmaker Gastòn Ramirez. The twenty-two player of rossoblù so leave Italy for 14 million euros, after finishing 3 seasons ago for about 3 million. Mesh rossoblù With 57 caps and 12 goals. Official announcement of the transfer, implemented after days of lengthy negotiations, could come as early as this afternoon. Bologna, near Ramirez goodbye: the Southampton one step 27/08/2012 09:45 by Marco Conterio article read 9846 times Photo © Daniele Buffa / Sports Image It is riperta and on again, suddenly, the track Southampton for Gaston Ramirez. This was reported by Sky Sport 24, which tells how the Saints now have only the details to be worked with the Bologna and the Uruguayan Penarol for the shot. Among the day today and tomorrow, there may be important developments.
S-Clarke Posted 27 August, 2012 Posted 27 August, 2012 How apt. is it that itchen_Dan brings this thread to 100 pages.
obelisk Posted 27 August, 2012 Posted 27 August, 2012 Wonder what Mr Lawrenson has to say on the matter.
itchen_dan Posted 27 August, 2012 Posted 27 August, 2012 Mousse81: @Zoggers87 Now the deal is really near to be done. Lack of some details, now. But really details, not like warranties
ottery st mary Posted 27 August, 2012 Posted 27 August, 2012 Still praying that Pompey do not do the dirty on the mighty Saints Coming in with one of their BIG offers and gazump us at the last minute:) Come on Gaston we need you:)
Lazlo78 Posted 27 August, 2012 Posted 27 August, 2012 It's going to be really difficult to explain the beauty of this effort to the missus "He was signed but then Bologna acted up and it was dead but then it was back on and we reached 100 pages and it was itchen_Dan that crossed the line and the first post on page 100 was semi-official confirmation"
pap Posted 27 August, 2012 Posted 27 August, 2012 Sweet! I voted Yes in the poll cos I've got a sage understanding and deep ITK knowledge of football! Is it too soon for gloatings? .. pessimists snipped .... ... your guys took one hell of a beating! Not sure gloatings is the appropriate term. I more or less saw it as "if he signs, the 'yes' crowd owns the 'no' crowd". Could you live with that, Bearsy?
Draino76 Posted 27 August, 2012 Posted 27 August, 2012 Ok..ok. There is still the mighty prize of post 5000 up for grabs....Which I imagine will be 'won' in the next 10 minutes.
SO16_Saint Posted 27 August, 2012 Posted 27 August, 2012 Everyone needs to stop posting ffs if he is to sign on page 100!
niceandfriendly Posted 27 August, 2012 Posted 27 August, 2012 itchen_dan, you are my hero. especially if ramirez signs.
mynameisthehulk Posted 27 August, 2012 Posted 27 August, 2012 100 pages ? Jesus christ Has he signed yet?
Bearsy Posted 27 August, 2012 Posted 27 August, 2012 Not sure gloatings is the appropriate term. I more or less saw it as "if he signs, the 'yes' crowd owns the 'no' crowd". Could you live with that, Bearsy? Yeah that's ok. I think everyone voted yes should get their forum rank upgraded to "ITK" and everyone who voted no should be like "Dumbass"
pingwing Posted 27 August, 2012 Posted 27 August, 2012 That has just cost you over three grand It'll be worth it! (especially when the thread makes 100 pages and he turns out to be good)
sambosa75 Posted 27 August, 2012 Posted 27 August, 2012 This has been truly emotional. I love you all. Xxx
Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 27 August, 2012 Posted 27 August, 2012 He really is damn good. Be extremely happy if we pull this off.
pap Posted 27 August, 2012 Posted 27 August, 2012 Yeah that's ok. I think everyone voted yes should get their forum rank upgraded to "ITK" and everyone who voted no should be like "Dumbass" That's a great suggestion. Given the numbers, each of the "yes" crowd will own slightly more than one of the no crowd ( 42% vs 58%, basically ). How do we handle the fractional component? Some kind of timeshare ( you own hypo for a week, then someone else gets him ) or even some kind of mind-share ( each yes man taking in a proportion of no man's personal prejudice). Which no bloke will you adopt, Bearsy?
John Boy Saint Posted 27 August, 2012 Posted 27 August, 2012 Sweet! I voted Yes in the poll cos I've got a sage understanding and deep ITK knowledge of football! Is it too soon for gloatings? ....................el90, jjsaint, Joe Kirkup, JoeShmoe, John Boy Saint, Jones91, JRM, Columb Saint, St David, St Louis, St Marco, St. Neil, St................. your guys took one hell of a beating! Reverse psychology my dear Bearsy.................................. Plus the Fat Lady has not been seen in her dressing room running up and down through her scales!!! So keep your powder dry for a little longer.
