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.

#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.
 
Does look like it has gone through though, or am I being overly optimistic. It's because I've only just figured out this <party> "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.
 
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.

Don't know if I can take another day :emoticon-0101-sadsm
