At the start it says: "MILAN, 20 -" so 20th in Milan. And the web adress is .it - Italia!!

 

Translation?

Edit* no matter

 

Google translate did pick it up as Spanish!

 

Can't help but think, while trying excruciatingly to read these horrible translations these last few days, how much my Language teachers must have hated me in secondary school. All homeworks and assignments were bang it in the translator, copy/paste and done, which I assume was the case for 90% of people. If they came out as bad in French as these do in English then it's remarkable they let me pass.

 

Must be true...it's not like papers are ever wrong.

 

I like how it say's we overcame there demands, looks like Cortese got his way.

#Ramirez #Saints Guaraldi will then meet Oscar Betancourt, Gaston Ramirez' agent to endorse the transfer. Contract 4 yrs, 2.5m euros p/y.

Bear in mind that these tweets are sometimes coming from complete random people! It's not trending and there's no buzz on twitter at the moment.

 

In unrelated news, Bologna are looking for a new chairman after the sudden disappearance of Albano Guaraldi.

 

Does look like it has gone through though, or am I being overly optimistic. It's because I've only just figured out this "emoticon" and I want an excuse to use it.

 

That website is a branch of an Italian news company concentrating on South America, hence the reason it is in Spanish and about a Uruguayan in Ramirez.

 

Good shout, probably should have worked that one out myself

 

It's the just the same stuff being retweeted as facts.

In theory I could turn off the computer, but I somehow can't quite manage it even though I know that no announcement will be made tonight regardless.

 

Did Fran just use the word "retweeted"?? This is far more surprising than the Gaston stuff!

 

A Bologna reporter has said there has been much work done today, many talks between the teams but still not completely finalised, and not likely to be finalised tomorrow as the Bologna chairman is busy with the Calcio scommesse trial.

 

Oh for the love of pete.

 

Don't know if I can take another day

 

We won't even hear anything tomorrow if their GM is at a trial.

Ridiculous really, it's surely in their interests too to get this saga closed and sign Floccari?
