It will be sorted, don't worry. Just another twist in the constant twists of this transfer. Thankfully it only has 4 more days to run.

The most telling development for me today, is the fact that Bologna have moved for a new signing already.

Something about people in Panerol dancing because they want more money. That's my jist on it anyway.

There are about 600 thousand people dancing, the Penarol not want to give up the money what a party!

Sorry, should have clarified what I meant. He just seems quite ''small'' - but as you said, seems powerful enough to brush past players. He seems to have that explosive pace that we are crying out for in the final third. He'd make a huge difference just with his pace.

When he's signed, passed a medical and been granted a work permit I'd guess. No point jumping the gun, still hurdles to jump over.

Seems that this fella is a real target for us, so I guess it's time to have a thread and and an obligatory YouTube video. Seems to be incredibly pacey, with a very low centre of gravity so can do very nifty things with a football. Seems a little lightweight though. I would imagine this is an alternative option to Matt Phillips, he will apparently only cost £3.5m and Nixon on twitter also seems to think we'll have this wrapped up pretty soon as the QPR move didn't happen.

They clearly don't! It goes against all that the Italian press, agent and club officials have said!

Everything in that article seems completely wrong. 1 - We're not paying £15m, it's €15m 2 - There was no problem with the stake to Panarol, it was the amount Bologna got up front 3 - The contract has already been sorted. 4 - It wasn't 2 weeks ago that we had the first agreed. Weird.

There's something very suspect about him for sure. Just constantly starts thread about drivel, then replies to his thread in a new thread. Weird.

I've had SSN on it the back ground most of the day, haven't heard any such thing mentioned. Nothing on their website either.

Sorry, I'm not the one sad and obsessed here. Weird guy.

Be quiet. Thanks.

Simon Peach ‏@SimonPeach I am led to believe no transfers are expected at #SaintsFC today. At least the whole day can be devoted to speculation instead.

The report from the local reporter in Bologna: "Yes, I think in few hours." - in response to being asked if he thinks Gaston will become a Saint.

Ajax full-back Nicolai Boilesen has been linked with Southampton and Arsenal, with reports in the Daily Mirror claiming the Saints have tabled a £5million bid for the Dane. The youngster says he is unaware of any interest but is flattered by the link.

Of course you'd take that mind-set, it wouldn't be worth you posting you didn't. I honest to god don't know why you follow sport, it gives you no enjoyment what so ever. Just give it up is my advise.

...

How apt. is it that itchen_Dan brings this thread to 100 pages.

Sounds like #saintsfc and Bologna have reached an agreement for Gaston Ramirez. I'm not sure Tom Ince may offer better value

I doubt it'll come from our side, it'll be an announcement from Bologna's side.

By the way, I don't think this announcement is going to be ''He has signed'' - It's going to be a quick statement released which confirms what we suspect, that we've reached agreement with the club for the transfer of Ramirez.

The sports reporter for the local Bologna paper. Also confirmed by the chief football reporter for Sky Italia, and also the Italian correspondent for ESPN.

Blackpool just seem a nightmare to deal with. We've offered good money but they just refuse to answer any correspondence from us. As far as I'm concerned this one is dead. Ince basically isn't for sale, I read somewhere that it would take upwards of £10m to tempt them to sell, as Liverpool have a 50% clause on any future transfer.
