Summer Transfer Rumour Thread.

Just shows how you can twist words. At no point in that interview did Adkins confirm interest in Ramirez. In fact all he said laughingly was that he must be a good player on those wages. He then said that he won't talk about any possible signings, but Nicola is ambitious.

 

That's because as Simon Peach has also said, NA hung around afterwards for a cuppa and to talk to the reporters individually.

Supposedly that is where this "Exciting" comment came from.

 

Holloway tries to be like the poor man's 'Appy 'Arry, but without the 'Appy bit.

 

He's like the polar opposite of Adkins.

That's how we react to news today, isn't it?

 

Hopefully will turn into something more permanent.

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.

 

Seems to me that it's just a little hitch rather than a deal collapsing problem.

 

Yep same here. The clip on SSN has Nigel almost defending and agreeing with Bologna. He says Ramirez shouldn't comment on a transfer until it is finalised.

 

Going off the subject of Saints for a bit, Dempsey has lost my respect. Going on strike?, what a twat.

 

Looks like it's fallen through to me. ****ing joke of a club.

Cortese out. He's proven to us that he's passionless.

 

Bologna president Albano Guaraldi, meanwhile, says the deal for Ramirez is a long way off: "The conditions proposed by the British (Southampton) did not satisfy me: they must either change or Ramirez will remain a Bologna player."

Saints manager Nigel Adkins says: "I think he has come out in Italy and said it is already sorted, but I think you'll find the policy of the football club is until the player has signed on the dotted line and we announce it then really we try to do everything privately."

I smell a rat, I see it in the air, best nip it in the bud.

 

Cortese should stay on holiday in future FFS.

 

The same basic hitch that caused the Buttner deal to collapse.

 

Good player, don't blame him for wanting to leave but there is a right way and a wrong way to go about this and that is most definitely a wrong way.

 

Adkins talks Ramirez on SSN:

Completely different cases. All that's required here is for Cortese to up his offer a little. Not nearly as complex as the Buttner affair.
