Nailed it all in one post.

Quite a few sources suggesting that we've offered him a lot of money, which is what he was after, and his head may be turning. I think we may have done the same for young Gaston.

Well, it makes a change from arguing about players who we have or haven't signed. Welcome back to the football season!

He's been a target for a couple of summers for them. Will be available as he's at Anzi, and they need to sell.

Fair enough.

Let's take a trip down memory lane.... 7 days later... The deal to bring Ramírez to St Mary's was quickly agreed and processed over ten days ago with a work permit appeal being successfully granted last Friday.

This will go like Ramirez. Last day of Window drama.

The slight issue is that Inter have no $$$$$ and Roma do not want to sell to their league. That deal simply won't happen.

The Italian press like a bloody drama don't they?

I actually now have no idea what is going on.

ummm? He's just joined Monaco?

They're making it up now

TBF, whenever he predicted we may win a game, we actually lost. Who cares what he thinks? He's pretty much wrong about most anyway.

I've forgotten how many deadlines we've given out in the last few years. Didn't gaston have like 20 different deadlines over the course of a week? during the week where we'd actually wrapped it up anyway. those Italians definitely like playing the drama don't they.

This game has the potential to be the best game ever created. It could be that huge, it looks so flaming impressive. Looks too good to be true in some cases!

Anything else on potential moves for us?

He's not going to play second fiddle to an 18 year old. I personally feel we're after a utility defender, who can cover full back and CB. Would make more sense.

Was only saying that in jest. I'm in complete agreement with you, I even posted above my views on it.

Time.to.give.up.

All too similar to Gaston from last year. There were loads of articles about it happening, then not, then happening, then rejecting us, then we couldn't agree a % with another club, so it was over. Then Bologna wanted more money. etc. And all through that, it was pretty clear that he had already agreed to come here and that week of ''will he or won't he'' stories were basically non-stories, as all we were waiting on was work permit approval before it was announced. The translations from these Italian sites were shocking though, so much is being lost! (mainly context!!)

I don't think he's gay tbf.

Talk of anything between 100-250k. Hope they do get it, they were a huge part in his rise as well.

He's probably my favorite bloke in the entire world, ever. Hero of all levels.

Hi Jimmy, don't' take this the wrong way, as it's not directed at you personally - but the highlighted part is where the problem lies in my opinion. I don't believe you can have a forum moderated based on their individual opinions. Everyone's opinion is different, some will agree a thread is fine, others will agree it's not - therefore you have no consistency in the moderation of this place, and ultimately it leads to quite a few disgruntled members as we are starting to see. I know moderating is a very difficult job in most cases, but I think it would make so much more sense (and make everyone's lives easier) if you all had strict set guidelines to follow that you all agreed on. So threads and people are banned for consistent reasons, and not just based on peoples opinions at that time. In my opinion in the past, people have banned because the mod doesn't particularly like them - yet really annoying WUMs are allowed to carry on. Just my 2 pence and one way to improving things.

Wasn't the Daily star the report which also suggested the bid was £8m? When we've been rumoured all along to be looking at paying £17m ish. Would be pretty tempted to toss the Daily star article in the bin!
