    Hi B_D; no source, but this has carried on for some days now and its become very public. It might be posturing as some have speculated - but when these deals get so public and outspoken too; they don't tend to come off. The only way I see this happening is if NC plays hard-ball and its gets to the end of the transfer period and if they, as been hinted, have some financial concerns; then they might take the offer on the table.

    Its not what is being said; I don't tend to believe what anybody states from the football world; its the fact that comments are being so public.

    It's a prophecy, on the 100th page, he will sign. Now, who wants to start the 'Saint Messi' thread?

    Fabregas? Van Persie? Modric?

    Modric will move. It's just one club trying to milk the other for as much as possible before the deadline.

    Same issue here. Except Spurs perhaps don't need money as much as Bologna.

    You're far too negative Fran. The thread will live on after we've signed him and we can discuss how he's playing, latest haircuts, etc.

    Still don't understand why this deal can't just happen! Players want to join club want the deal to happen as need funds and we want him plus agent wants it to go ahead. We have planned it as if he is joining hence them traveling here an '10' shirt vacant! The deal value has been agreed by their club and penerol!

    It's only public because it's such a big transfer, plus the fact Bologna need the cash. I'm a wait and see kinda guy, nothing has shown me the deal is dead.

    Lets not fall out over this - we are all entitled to opinons and you can try to pull out individual cases; fact is some of you have 'reported' - the make or break deal is taking place 8.00pm such and such a night - this 'in-the-know-person' has tweeted blah blah blah - I realise some of you have put alot of faith in this deal - older heads like me (okay read cynical) take it for what has been 'reported' and try to see the bigger picture.

    The bigger picture is Bologna are desperate for money, Ramirez wants to join us, all the terms have been agreed and there is only one minor hurdle left to overcome. Everything else is unimportant.

    Okay B_D; lets turn this round the other way - what is your source that Bologna need the cash. I appreciate it is 'reported' as such - but is that true?

    I have seen nothing that other than he agreed personal terms - nothing tells me its alive.

    I'm trying to see the picture too. Agent saying it's off doesn't necessarily mean it is.

    Who says its a minor hurdle - it was the palyer as I recall stating the deal was done last week... only it wasn't. As I have wrote to B_D; how do yuo know they are broke?

    Tbh whether we get him or not, doesn't bother me.

    If we get him fantastic.

    If not, then we'll move onto other targets.

    I will never ever give up Fran. This will happen, and we will all have a big Ramirez love hug.

    I also need to eat something soon....getting shaky.

    A cursory glance at wikipedia will tell you they are broke. Two years ago they were taken over by a fans' consortium much like Portsmouth are likely to be, because the only other option was bankruptcy.

    Of course it's a minor hurdle. Neither us nor Bologna would have gone to all this trouble only for it to fall apart due to a completely foreseeable snag.
