I don't think anyone will pay as much as we are offering now though, unless they have a personal grudge (they read these forums and don't appreciate being called 'nipple head) then I think they'll give in
 
Looked through, but no-one mentioned this tweet from Alessandro Mossini:

"Guaraldi at Sky "He refuse to play, he's angry, but the deal with Saints is over, no way. There are other options." Stay tuned."

He also tweeted:

@d9scott He said "I left Cortese two days ago, he is block on his position and I'm block in mine."
 
Still think if we REALLY want him we will get him. Cortese knows what he's doing. Not the first time in the last 7 days it's looked all over.

"#Bologna's President Guaraldi on Gaston Ramirez: "I would respect my promise to sell him but I can't do it without guarantees" #saintsfc"

and

"#Bologna's preseidnet Guaraldi on Gaston Ramirez: "Then the player told he'll not play here anymore and threatened me" #saintsfc"
 
So, in some of the tweets (I know, not the most reliable), their president has hinted/said the deal with us is off/impossible. But, from others, it is back to the old guarantee sticking point. Who knows.

Yes, the first one, I like that, kind of hopeful ;)

Exactly we don't and won't until its announced officially or not! Won't stop us posting though:smiley:
 
I don't know what to think.......is it finally off or is it again the payment guarantees which are stalling it. Simon Peach seemed convinced the other day that fee, installments and player terms were all done and dusted.
 
The problem is that Bolgona need all the money up front to buy another player. They need to borrow against our instalments, but we can't/won't provide guarantees.

Again, I'm trying to decide whether more mind games are being played and their president is trying to force Cortese's hand. If true though, as long as no other clubs come in, I'm confident this could be pushed through late on.
 
It could be better for us if we have moved on...frees up money to push other deals through. The worse scenario is that we hover until it's too late to spend any money. No point in waiting for NC/NA to say deal is over, because they have no history of giving out the information. Only said Buttner deal was dead when he was about to sign for ManU.
