Think you have to cut your palm and mix blood with a handshake in Italy.

What's the odds Cortese takes the Bologna president out tonight, wines and dines him, schmoozes him like all Italian businessmen and clinches the deal soon?

There are several parties involved. If they sit round a table they can make compromises. If they see the DVD the Bologna president will end up playing for us.

It does make you wonder why football negotiations take so long. Surely you could thrash this out with a 15 minute phone call?

I don't know, actually. If you're haggling over the price of a car you don't take a month to do it, do you?

Just don't think it'll happen. Bologna are pissing around too much it seems. We need to negotiate with other clubs over other deals. Can see Cortese walking away soon enough.

The hope is that if they have come over to discuss it with the club, they are likely to want to have it completed today rather than drag on back in Italy I suppose?

Was referring to Guaraldi, President of Bologna. Play them at their own game.

What a scruff.

So that's the key! If only we had pissed around then we'd still have Bale, Walcott and Oxlade-Chamberlain!

IN all seriousness, If we want him enough then we'll get a deal worked out with Bologna. Their president knows that Ramirez is off (maybe not to us, but to somebody), all he's trying to do is fight his corner and get the best price possible. He also has to make a show of putting up a fight for his fans. The fact that he has (allegedly) come to Southampton is encouraging, he wouldn't do that if he had no intention of getting a deal worked out. In fact, HIM coming to US suggests that he wants the deal done more than us

As Les Reed normally does.

 

[Dan]

No we can't, we can only sign one more player this window, why isn't it a pacy CB

I heard there was a rule that you can't.

Seriously?

 

[SFCJordi]

Seriously?

Course not.

 

[Rich]

But we need a pacy CB!!! :'(

 

[The Based God]

Why aren't we signing cb's with pace? Ffs

 

[Osvaldorama]

Why aren't we signing a CB with long hair? We were much better when Jose had long hair

 

[St. Luigi Scrosoppi]

nipple sweat!!!

He smokes as well and we all know smokers smell like old ashtrays.

He looks like me only twenty years ago.

Nicola will want to get him out of his office PDQ.
