Saint Gaston!

Best thing is to beat the teams below us, so that includes United

 

Just remembered when we signed Hooiveld, I think people welcomed Ali Dia to club in a more positive way than Jos. 'Celtic reject? Ffs, Pompey will go up and we'll go down!

Bologna's version of events, yet again through FootballItalia...

This needs to end one way or the other so I can stop compulsively checking this thread/twitter at every opportunity and regain my interest in my life/topics that are not Gaston Ramirez.

 

Sounds like it was Gaston who started it if it's true his agent negotiated without Bologna knowing. I wonder if that bit about player exchange referred to us...trying to shift Forecast again

 

No, we're all just impatient arseholes.

 

Seven more days of anxiety...

 

The mood seems a lot worse here, im guessing the deal is probably off?

 

Sigh. Again, no, it isn't off.

 

Sigh. Again, i said ' probably'

Not so much a case of the deal being off, just no progression. I think Cortese is leaving them to sweat personally.

 

Well that's wrong too

 

"The negotiations with Southampton are at a standstill because they haven't given us the financial guarantees we asked for and so we've put things on hold,'' Guaraldi told Sky Sport 24 reporters.


"Our relationship with them remains a friendly one but both parties has conflicting demands. Last year Ramirez was getting a bit restless and I promised that this year he would be sold, at a certain price.


"This year no such offer has arrived, the conditions have not been met. We carried on with negotiations regardless but we couldn't reach an agreement. At the moment we're trying to resolve the situation, but the two parties can't agree so the discomfort and nervousness is understandable.''


The key points. I still think we will get Ramirez.

 

That's what I think, Cortese knows what he's doing and he's certainly not going to be bullied about by bologna.

 

That's probably the best translation I've seen on this whole saga.

Basically he's ours, bar the fannying around.

 

That's some serious reading between the lines that you're doing

 

Not particularly. Italian media saying it's off, but when the full quotes are used you see that it's on hold. Not dead.

 

Not gna lie, these 'negotiations' are taking the p!ss now.

So I've started to lose all excitement about this transfer.

Don't get me wrong I think it'll be a great singing if we sign him but people rabbiting on day by day about how e hasn't signed yet really isn't appealing.

 

I await mass slating again now....
