It was blocked, I can back you up on that eric. but it looks like it's been fixed - ok now.

For the last time, you can work on more than 1 transfer at any one time. I'm baffled as to where this theory has come from.

TBF he played well against City, so deserves to keep his place. Lambert up top them is my guess.

Sunderland have been busy. They've now confirmed the signing of Adam Johnson

What a completely bizarre thread.

Just how you wanted it, basically. Otherwise what the hell are you supposed to moan about??

Another day, no sod it, another WEEK, and Alpine is saying the same thing. A massively normal transfer window on saints web.

A much, much clearer translation.

This thread won't go down well.

Bloody twitter.....Now we haven't bought 30% of him at all, so that's rubbish.

Because it's obvious. Bolonga have a player on strike. He won't train or play for them anymore. We have the only offer on the table, which is 2.5m euro short of what they want in terms of a net fee. We've agreed the contract with the player. The player has been over and has been sold the whole package. The closer we get ot the end of the window, Bolonga will realise that what we've offered is better than nothing and having an unhappy moping around for 6 months. (value potentially decreasing). The talk of other clubs being interested is just that, talk. They're playing games to try and force our hand. We won't budge and they will be forced to take it at the end of the day. Basically, nothing has changed. Just fresh quotes saying the exactly the same as he did on Monday, just worded slightly differently.

That's only 1.9m . it'll be sorted, don't fret.

He wouldn't know much more than we do from this. All he's done is read what we've read.

.

i.e come back on deadline day when we have no other offers, and we'll do a deal.

Discussions are still on-going between both clubs.

Umm, I don't think so. Basically they have no money. They need the money. They have an unhappy player, who is on strike refusing to train or play. They have an offer from us on the table. They can continue to ignore that offer and risk losing millions of mounds, or they can grab what they can get and make Ramirez out to be the bad guy in all of this. It's only going one way.

Got a hunch he will have a farewell game.

Whatever. He needs to make his mind up. I'm sure he'll be here by the end of the window.

Bolonga are starting to look a little silly here. We don't need to give them any guarantee's. If they want an unhappy player, who is on strike, and whose value will now only decrease - then good on them.

We can trust itchen_dan to bring the thread back to some sort of normality.

This thread is bizarre.

He seems very positive about it, not sure if he's just making educated guesses as we are - but with him being a journo it has a bit more credence to it.

I don't know, what do you think???? Read it again.

But he still wouldn't travel on a commercial flight.
