Surprised you don't see his quality. Have you read some of the articles linked here talking through his attributes? Sounds perfect for us. Especially seeing as we still want a winger too.
Further confirmation from Bologna journalist @DL_Corriere:
@Zoggers87 we guess bolognafc chairman wants so much that money and he will be so upset if ramirez stays
I asked if they want to sell and he replied:
@Zoggers87 more or less.. but he cannot say it
Nixon said this...They want to sell....we know the terms...deal to be done.
Let's relax and it will play out, big deals like this worth haggling.....now will Phillips return for Blackpool tonight?
Another tweet from local Bologna journalist @DL_Corriere
guaraldi tiene aperta la porta per ramirez al southampton: 'certe storie non finiscono mai' #bolognafc #calciomercato
Translates as: Guaraldi (Bologna Chairman) leaves door open for Southamton, 'certain stories never end'
Also:
to all my #saints followers:the price is ok (€15mln) but not the terms.bolognafc wants be guarateed about the payments.ramirez still waits
Ince and Phillips are promising but Ramirez clearly more accomplished. Don't get me wrong I wold be happy with Ince and Phillips but Ramirez would be the best signing in my lifetime.
In all seriousness Nixon is saying that it is negotiation - they leak that there is interest elsewhere and see what happens. End of the day, 12m is hard for them to turn down, and thats on the table from us.
