Saint Charlie

Other options - what a suprise.

No of course he isn't in reality. But to Ramirez he is...he is stopping him trebling his wages.

Yep - and Bologna have a player threatening to strike if he can't move, a good offer on the table which will be hard for them not to take and no other confirmed interest - good position for SFC.

These guys will be adament he is not going anywhere....watch...

You do? I think it shows the opposite.

Yeah - Im sure this is how we expected it would play out...they only really have one option - to sell. They can wait for a little longer and see if there is more interest but it seems unlikely. I'm more confident now that he will join than at any other point this week.

Exactly...

Looks remarkably like Javi de Pedro followed by that Spanish guy who used to post on here. Maybe they are 8 years late for a meeting with Lowe?

Yep - can level some faults at Guly's door but not laziness, almost find it quite amusing when people say that - almost some sort of sterotype Brazilian. Adkins has commended his tracking back on numerous occassions.

He would probably be more influential in the centre...do like Lallana in there as well though. A potential forward line of this looks pretty good: Phillips-------------Ramirez------------Lallana --------------Lambert or JR-------------------

Back on topic: where would Ramirez play within our 4-3-3: in the centre where Lallana is and where Ramirez has done most of his best work for Bologna or on the right where he can cut in and shoot?

Bizarre post IMO. Lets settle this via PM.

Think about 1pm?

Think Dig Dig made them up: another display of Wummery.

If we bring another keeper in aside from Cropper who will be with the Dev squad then I think it should be someone capable of being no 1 now. Otherwise with Gazza we will just have the same situation we had with Bart - good keeper with potential but never gets any games and then loses confidence. IMO they are looking at Gazza to take over the no 1 shirt next year.

Ties in with what Nixon said. All points to Spurs now IMHO. FFS.

Anyway isn't he in America?

If he really is unhappy then I'm sure he can go back to Japan - not like he is a guarenteed first choice here, although of course he is a great option to have, and it is a big change of culture for him. However, would be suprised given Nigels comments about his attitude etc. He even celebrated his Dev Squad goal the other week like it was in the first team...

Or a couple of Premier League pass-me-rounds like QPR and Sunderland and which thankfully we havent done.

Translation of article today: This is one of the rising stars of the stage just in Rennes this season. Jean-Armel Kana-Biyik, courted by several clubs in the offseason, puts an end to any idea. "I'm not going to tell me that it is mounted to the brain because I'm still the same way. It is true that my name was mentioned in some clubs. . I Rennais and not displease me. If I had a good output, leaders have apprised me. This is not the case. I'm here and I'm fine. When we hope, we are mentioned in the press. This is not my case.

Don't think he was on Glasgow Saint's ITK list.

He has said in the press today that he is happy to stay at Rennes and hasn't asked to leave but its obviously nice to be linked with clubs as it shows you are doing well. Didn't mention any specific clubs.

Where did you see that Clarke? Would be awesome.

Chez won't be happy - his long time target Lee Cook is joining Leyton Orient. In all seriousness, it shows how far we have come - he was a decent suggestion a couple of summers ago.

I didn't say that it can't happen, but transfer deals are more complicated than many here seem to realise. Bologna have been trying to generate interest in him for a week now and there is none more than ours, not that is firmed up. If Spurs wanted him then Im sure they would have stepped in by now...for all they know he could sign for Saints tomorrow and then they would rue missing out. IMO if he doesn't join us it won't be because we are gazumped by anyone else.
