Unbelievable. SSN saying bologna have accepted bid for £11.8 million for Ramierez. Another surprise move. Obviously another one where money talks . I guess we withdrew our interest if that is the case as we did with sigurdsson. No disrespect to Southampton who I wish well for new season but he could have played for a team with far more chance of success. Strange one that.
The rumours about us being interested stem back about five or six months, we had a different manager and a Director of Football then that are not at the club now. I would guess that Rodgers was not interested in the player Lets face it, the media have no idea about who we are and are not interested in, did anyone see any mention of Assaidi...?
http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/s...ez-to-choose-southampton-in-€15m-move?cc=5739 "It is an offer that you cannot refuse. They will give me so much money (€2 million net per year and more than €1 million signing-on fee)." Nice to see a player actually admit it's all about the money for once. He didn't use the word 'project' at all
I wasn't impressed with him at the Olympics but I'm not going to start saying 'I didn't want him anyway' because he is not joining, aka - Man City fans with RVP style A lot of top players don't perform in international tournaments, and vice-versa
I'm neutral as I've never seen him play, I know some on here really wanted him but it looks as though he's happy to go to Saints.
I had assumed our link with him had sort of disappaited so wasn't expecting him to sign for us just thought he would turn up at top European side . This is by no means a dig at the saints just a surprise. And yes at least he had the balls to admit it was the money.
Similarly, neither have I, only what I saw at the Olympics. I probably should said I didn't exactly 'want him' him beforehand either
Shocked by this to be honest. Any chance the mods can maybe pull this thread sometime before 1:00pm? Bluff will be on around then and this is likely to cause an upset.
That's hilarious - I can't believe he said that about the money! haha! Would be nice if city players did the same!
haha this is hilarious, its worth £12 million just to see the excuses you lot cone up with as to why he did not join Liverpool
? There is no excuse, we cooled interest a week or two ago. Either that or the lure of a newly promoted club at a paultry £30k per week was just too great for Gaston and he had to turn us down
