We're set to continue negotiations of the price until Monday. A few morons got their titties in a twist over nothing earlier, but basically it's been positive news.

So have we made another bid? Or was the Bologna chairman saying he rejected our bid just bull ****? Or are we submitting another bid on monday?

We've not made another bid really from what I can tell. We contacted them, apologised for everything getting a bit out of hand, but because they played today and we play tomorrow, we're going back into talks on Monday. Everyone expects it to go smoothly (except, of course, Southampton fans).
 
You've got one fine player there.

We've been trying to get him all summer...bastards!
 
Now Dan, tell him the full version.

But it's so much effort :( An abridged version will do: We offered something, he said it wasn't enough because of a sell on clause or something and started acting like a child, we phoned to apologise because we're big boys and now we're friends again.

Out another, even outside Gaston. Gaston Ramirez, potentially one of the strongest players of A, in a few hours will not be over Bologna today will fly to England to close with Southampton, which will pay 15 million for 70% of the possession of the card in red and blue. A Ramirez a four-year from 2.5 net per year and the number 10 shirt. So the Southampton has convinced him and his agent Oscar Betancourt to sign lacks only the ok Penarol, which controls the remaining 30%. And Gaston confirms everything, or almost.

This is a surprise. Better Southampton, newly promoted to the Premier, Inter, Juventus, Liverpool and Tottenham?
"Yes, Southampton I tried it for real. They always wanted me to play, not to be one of many. I need to grow, and to grow you have to play. "

Never spoken to or Stramaccioni Count?
"No, but it was also an economic problem. In Italy there is a crisis and the Bologna wanted 15 million. In Italy there are not that much money. "

Italy And what will be left?
"Bologna, the memories of Ronaldinho and Pirlo opponents, the Juventus Stadium: the most beautiful of A. Then Cavani, a friend, but I do not know if time will be away too. And if you knew ... no, I could just say "
 
And a take on it from our very own S-Clarke over on SaintsWeb:

I think a lot of this has understandably got lost in translation, but my jist on it is that we agreed a fee with a few bits to sort. I.e how it's paid. For bologna to then see the player speaking as if it was done they got rightly annoyed. So they paused it.

It also allows the club to swing the exit in the face of the player, rather than the club looking like its selling off its talent - to their fans they now look like the victim. So in essence gastons comments were ill timed and slightly unprofessional, but bologna used this development to their advantage.

There is no way back for Gaston now, so it's up to the chairman to look like he's trying to get the best possible deal he can. I think it will all be resolved rather quickly next week.

As I say, that's just my take on the numerous articles all over the place but I don't think it's too far from the truth.
