Saint Gaston!

We will get him. We will.

 

Nah but Chamberlain will be worth way more than that in the future. You got him for a snip.

 

How did we get permisasion to talk to him without agreeing a fee? Their chairman has really ****ed things up if the club has accepted 5m euros less than he wanted. Their chairman has previous in this sort of thing, so Cortese might be prepared to hammer out a compromise to get this done quickly. We don't have time to get the football authorities involved if we want this done before deadline day.

 

Apparently Italian clubs do that a fair bit.

 

I don't know but in both the Davis and Clyne deals he seemed to do a kind of "**** it, this is my compensation offer, take it or leave it, if you leave it we kidnap your family" sort of thing. Hoping for much the same here.

 

Not really, we will get 40% of the profits if he gets sold.

 

You're not stealing our transfer targets, your stealing our arch enemies transfer target, which is funny, so no need to be mean to you (yet)

 

Really? Where did you hear that?

We've done them over if so

 

Liverpool and Spurs fans hate us though, I'm gutted.

 

.

 

Various articles when we sold him at the time.

 

Davis and Clyne were both out of contract though, so we were free to talk to them.

 

Six foot tall attacking midfielder who scores goals and can perform skills that defy the expectation of supporters and team-mates alike.......I'm sure we had one of those not too long ago.....

 

Don't think De Ridder is 6 foot tall mate?

 

Yeh but I think this one is perhaps a little less enigmatic, and brilliant, and perhaps thinner and faster

 

Absolutely, but taking a salary and cutting it in half is a far too simplistic way of coming up with a completely spurious weekly wage. As was stated earlier, if he's paying more than a rate of 20-25% tax then his accountant isn't terribly "creative"....

 

Fingers crossed eh? It would be lovely to have another one of those strutting round the premiership......anyhow, the "other" one was quite sylph-like when he first started too.....it can happen to the best of us!

 

He was indeed. That goal when it was muddy and snowy, forgotten who it was against, but he ran the whole length of the pitch, scored at the second attempt. Wasn't slow when he was young.

Yesterday morning the offer came. The Southampton, newly promoted to the Premiership English club after seven years in the second division, wants Ramirez and offers the club 15 million for 70% of the player and about 3 million of engagement to Gaston. So 15 million net that would end soon, in two tranches, into the coffers of the club. The remaining 30% belongs to Peñarol, which will discuss with Southampton. Which means that the player is valued at about 21 million. The Bologna will have to answer today or within the next few hours. The situation is delicate. The front betting hot and worrying. The risk of suffering a -2 exists and is real, as the lawyers are lavishing. Fans in Casteldebole with a couple of online banners and flooding the network, have already expressed their opinion: they do not want the Niño leave. Much will depend from him, that after the renewal of the contract in November went from 220 to 600 thousand euro net, plus a substantial prize package. But now the British seem to be ready to cover it with gold. Southampton The club is not a high-end, will not make the cups, comes from years also economically complicated. Now seem to have moved on. And Gaston, seduced by the pound and by the charm of the Premiership, it would be serious about leaving. Difficult, therefore, that the Bologna able to hold him. Also because 15 million are now very comfortable with the club. That some of those money will reinvestirla however, because in addition to the message to the fans (in fact it is the strongest among the few to have a secure future), the team is weakened dramatically. Immediate need backup. The first should be the Lazio Floccari, 8 goals last season at Parma in 28 games. Pioli does not want to bet, since it already has a lot. Experience and reliability, that's what he needs. Cup Italy at Dall'Ara . Tomorrow night, the first official debut in Bologna: there is the Italian Cup at 20.45 against the Beavers of Varese (notes 5 and 10 euros just for curve Bulgarelli and forum, the distinct are closed, there is the commentary is on-tv ).



I love foreign transfers.

 

The "early days" hat-trick against Norwich is still my favourite hat-trick of all time.
