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!

I don't think we'd still be pursuing him if it was that clear cut.

Would have to say so myself. International/CL quality added right down the spine of the team, whilst keeping everyone on long-term contracts. I'm sure there will still be moaners and WUM's, but there won't be many clubs that conclude that level of success in the transfer market this summer. Also worth noting that it would take our spend to around £40m again. (if Osvaldo is the rumoured 19/20m)

To be fair, this is pretty crap to be honest. Even if the admins are busy with their own lives, they have entered into a commitment with this site in terms of payments. If they haven't got the time anymore, then hand the reigns over to people who have. I'm sure there would be plenty of takers. They can't just let people pay and have it go down a drain. I'm due to renew, but won't be going anywhere near it.

I don't think we will necessarily be adopting a great deal of 'natural' width in our game.

I guess we want to know pretty quickly, so we can then kick on securing our next target. Pretty certain we'll see a new striker come the 2nd though.
