Update: Spurs now believed to be signing Pjanjc from Roma for 12m this week - he is the Modric replacement - they arent in for Ramirez.
-
BTW the orginal article was part of this live transfer feed. Interesting that the immediate story below says the deal was still being discussed: 10.50 and 11 updates. http://www.microsofttranslator.com/bv.aspx?ref=SERP&br=ro&mkt=en-GB&dl=en&lp=IT_EN&a=http%3a%2f%2fwww.gazzetta.it%2f

Depends, are you happy clappy or bed wetter? (there is no inbetween)
-
Quite possibly the single most laughable comment I have ever seen here. To clarify - signing a player for approx 4 times our transfer record before this summer, who many on here would say would be the best signing of their lifetime is considered being held back? I would say it is the total opposite.
-
Nixon thoughts are reassuring - he has been right all summer on Saints.
-
You can only talk to the player if given permission by the club. Bologna granted that as we said we would be preprared to broker a deal. That is what we are trying to do now. Would you rather Cortese did all the hours of negiotation with Bologna and then Ramirez said "oh, I have no interest in joining Southampton". Very naive...to know he is interested and its worth continuing with you have to talk terms...
-
Basically means there is no deal now but there might be at some point. Pretty much the same as yesterday.
-
Situation: We know the terms they are asking for. The player wants to come. We have a price we have offered. They want more up front....its up to us to see if we can get close to their demands and agree something. The article quoted says that hasnt yet happened. It might later today or tomorrow though.

HCDAJFU - The transfer deadline countdown
Saint Charlie replied to saint_stevo's topic in The Saints
Yeah, def can see some more exits. There are a few who won't get near the squad. Butterfield is another - we have Clyne, Richardson and also Stephens who can play RB. De Ridder must also be on borrowed time - can't make the 7 man bench and thats before at least one new wide player comes in. -
If we don't sign him can we get Leon Crouch back and bin off Cortese?
-
Who knows - there is also the matter of this court case that someone from Bologna is attending...might take attention away from the deal.
-
No news this morning...
-
Quality blog: sums up my feelings on our transfer policy well... http://www.byfarthegreatestteam.com/posts/southampton-will-stand-tall-with-ramirez-running-the-show/
-
Going to QPR for 8m apparantly - absolutely ludicrous price IMO.
-
Tweets from a Bologna Journalist: I saw on Saints forum someone said Bologna's chairman will stay in England. He is not in England, he is in Italy.
-
Cool, where did you see that?
-
Nixon says Spurs wouldnt outbid us on fee or wages. He says Saints expect Ramirez to sign. Tomorrow will be crucial as long as talks take place...there is a big corruption trial that the Bologna Owner is at tomorrow.
-
Makes sense for Bologna to find out if Spurs will pay them more than we will. Need to get it sorted ASAP.
-
Apparently Bologna trying last minute to bring in Tottenham in the trade for Ramirez, in order to receive the raise requested @tancredipalmeri Here we go...
-
Yep, he broke the Jay Rod and Clyne stories. Has good contacts. http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/southampton-set-to-tie-up-deal-1140886 http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/southampton-agree-a-fee-for-jay-rodriguez-851590
-
Nixon said he has an update on two targets - may involve Ramirez, might be others.
-
I asked the Bologna journalist what sort of player we would be getting and he replied: @Zoggers87 In my humble opinion, a phenomenon. An amazing player, he has only to improve in his mood with referees and he's perfect
-
Bologna Journalist on Twitter: I think the deal is imminent: lack of some details on installments. Tomorrow or Wednesday, could be done.
-
Who knows? Lots of talks though, they seem resigned to losing him and we are working out the best deal for us.
