Saint Gaston!

he's good on sensible world of soccer too. Couldnt see him on kick off 2 tho

 

a) True, and if what's been reported is true he does seem to have been royally messed about by Bologna
b) Not necessarily. For example, if he only has a year left on his contract and then refuses to play for us we're left in a very weak bargaining position

I'm not suggesting this makes him a troublemaker or anything, I'm just not going to celebrate a player throwing a strop. I tend to be wary of players who've "spat the dummy", and that's particularly relevant to us as Adkins seems to love his professionalism and team spirit. I also can't remember us signing anyone else who's "spat the dummy" at their previous club (although I may well have forgotten someone).

 

May I suggest we delay worrying about the style of his exit until after we have signed him!

 

Fair enough, but would you rather he hadn't 'spat the dummy' plays on the weekend, and then breaks a leg and totally rules out a transfer?

 

My quote from last Friday. (The 2nd post on this thread....)

 

1 whole week wasted talking about something that aint gonna happen!

 

Yeah he never should have made the thread to talk about updates in the Gaston Ramirez deal. Literally nobody has talked about it, the thread was a complete ghost town failure.

 

I distinctly remember likening this deal to the Buttner deal....how right I was.

 

How right? Not very?

 

Third party destroying the deal? Correct?

 

Not correct at all? We agreed a deal with Penarol, they're not a problem in the slightest, and the deal isn't destroyed

 

You told me the agent pretty much killed it, ****

 

No I didn't I said the agent had told papers that the deal was off, but that several people think he did it as a bluff to force Bologna's hand. Agents hardly count as third parties anyway.

 

Because they have no part in transfers at all.....

No - third party refers to an external source and is just a saying, there are three parties involved in every transfer. Buying club, selling club, player. As agents work directly with these parties they don't count as an external factor, therefore not a "third party" Besides agents are nothing to do with this particular deal stalling. It's nothing like Buttner at all.

 

Whatever you say, ****face

 

Ricky Lambert's goal on Sunday in six best goals on Sky. As this is his first time (to my recollection) I must assume he hasn't scored many goals before. Can't be just because he's in the PL surely!

 

Thanks for clearing that up..... And i thought me and DTLW got on so well in all aspects of social media.....I feel I have lost a friend :-(

 

I've just got back from Heathrow. I searched everywhere and I couldn't see him. I bumped into Jim White (from Sky Sports) and his partner.... he hadn't seen him either.

 

Stop arguing and start convincing me this transfer will come off!
