Because Bologna played games, rightly wanted as much money as poss and prob hoped Liverpool would come back in for him, also, the messy situation regarding his former club owning 30 % meaning twice as many negotiations on this one I feel !! NC can have a well earned beer tonight when it all finishes !!!!
I know all the bits that held it up to start with, but surely they are sorted by now if we've got this far.
Simon Peach on Twitter: Want to know how close the Ramirez deal is? Bologna, #SaintsFC & player have all signed paperwork. Just one signature away from completion.
someones spilt bovril on the contract, going to have to re-issue the paperwork but the printers are on the blink and gastons stuck in traffic.
In fairness to Peñarol, they're four hours behind us time-wise, so probably had to wait for their people to arrive at work.
