Saint Gaston!

So despite the change in tone of most of the Ramirez articles on News Now (presumably because his agent has said the deal is off), really there's been no change or update?

 

Good point FLTGiven us all something to moan about though.

 

Alex Crook, Southampton reporter for SSN:


"For those asking i am confident #saintsfc will sign Ramirez. Think agent quotes saying deal is dead is an attempt to panic Bologna"

 

This pleases me!

 

Well that's from a sky sports news presenter so it must be true right, right!?

Can't type in all capitals so please appreciate that this is me taking the piss

 

Which is what most of us think.

 

So Sky Sports publish an article saying the deal is dead, while people who work for them still think it's going to go through. They don't like to be too sure of things over at Sky do they?

 

Doubt it was Alex's story. Just lifted from another site. Who knows maybe he is in on a plan to panic Bologna and Saints got Gaston's agent to release these comments to panic them....

 

Well a minor perk if Gaston does sign for us is that the fans from over clubs who have been gloating on Twitter will be having a bit of a Brighton 1 - 2 Southampton at the Withdean moment me thinks. Jose Fonte Baby.

 

Well you'd think they'd all be trying to be on the same page at Sky wouldn't you. Instead, they're so worried about publishing a story before BBC get there, that they publish stories that aren't even news. Pitiful reporting.

 

So for those who have been following events today, whats been going on? We on or off?

 

Tired of all this public talk from agents, self important Italian Chairmen and associated hangers-on. Deal looks off - so lets move on.

 

Well it is something to be reported, comments from an agent - whether true or not.

I also think it is an attempt from Betancourt to force a move, it's in his, and his clients interests.

The number of people who took what he said at face value surprised me.

 

Well they shouldn't report on such menial things. This whole media circus makes everything twice as difficult. Why can't they all be like the BBC and wait for an actual story to emerge?

 

Have you a source?, or are you believing a agent?. Seriously who believes a agent these days?, agents are one of the biggest liars in the game.

 

Who knows. They've been fed the story.

 

The SSN reporter is for Southampton, maybe he's being bias by being positive?

 

Doubt it. I think a lot of people saw the comments rehashed under Sky's name and assumed it as 100% true.

Is Paul Hart the manager yet? Nope.

Agent games. Betancourt and Cortese will still be in contact.

 

At what point do we give up. If Ramirez dies of old age and has a funeral, will you still thinks it's a ploy?


I will miss this thread...it's like family

 

I don't think it's necessarily the agent playing the game, it's the club, the GM and Chairman.

It's just a mental reason for a deal to full through ''Bolonga's financial problems have stopped the transfer". Bizarre. Any money will help them....! If they're so screwed financially, you would need to be headcases to stop yourselves getting something. He could break a leg on sept 1st and then they'd have no chance of a similar fee for ages.

Games galore, all being played out in public. Really odd one this.
