It's painful to watch. I'm gonna sign out for a bit and try to calm down before I have a heart attack. Just downloaded an awesome mod for Pokemon Gold, so that's the rest of my day sorted.
What i don't get and someone correct me if i'm wrong but i thought a fee had to be agreed before talks got onto wages and the like.Apparently we have already agreed wages with Ramirez so how would that of happened if a fee wasn't already agreed with the man at the top at Bologna?
Impressed by the humility and affection shown by the fans of other Prem clubs. We're finally the underdogs (this time noisy) again!
He's a good player, potential to be a real star. Can be wasteful but very talented.
Liverpool told journalists in July that we weren't interested, but there's been a media storm around him all summer, probably due to Suarez and Coates.
Still, this is a bizarre but great signing for you - it'll give your squad as a whole a big lift I imagine.

Ramirez update - more quotes:
If the Gaston Ramirez is holding forth at home Bologna. A Sky Sport 24, after talking to the player, is also the president spoke earlier of Bologna, Albano Guaraldi: "I am irritated by what the player had already talked about Ramirez as of Southampton. But it will go away with an offer only fair that does not exist. If Gaston and his agent have already found agreement on salary and other arrangements, not later than on the merits, but there is no agreement on our part, for this restra our player. The offer of Southampton is much more complex, there can be limited to the figures, even in terms of the proposed payment is not fair. Again, the agent has done all of Gaston with the British but we do not have the agreement. Right now we are stuck, the requests are those, I do not understand why the words of Ramirez. We talked to all the big Italian, I promised that if Gaston had come to the proposal we would just let go. But these elements that make up a negotiation are not there. For consistency, we say no to this offer also. Gaston's attitude is not professional and not good for society. In time and in his exit was not the best ... Now can jump around like any negotiation, so it is premature to the attitude of the boy. "A joke also Gabbiadini: "We are closing at this time. We follow him before he went to the National, is a month that we work to get him. "
Basically, Gaston's terms are agreed and he really wants to sign for us. Bologna have an issue with the structuring of the deal it seems.

Think we've been called up on that before, we tend to pay a bit upfront with the rest in instalments be they performance rated or not.
I saw earlier that we would have paid the total fee by the end of 36 months.
Bologna want more up front for the lad.
Fran, I think you may owe Alex Crook an apology. NA did say exciting!

In fairness though, £150k p/a is nothing for a PL footballer. When you're talking about million(s) being earnt each year, taking into account the 20% and 40% tax bands involved in that first £150k wont make a greal deal of difference (no personal allowance of course, as he'd be well over £100k p/a).
Any way, I'll believe this when I actually see it. My hopes are by no means up.
I'm really hoping this happens just so we can sing a chant based around the Gaston song from Beauty and the Beast.
