I just searched the followers and couldnt find it?

Another report from Uruguay, this time a Uruguayan sports reporter/journalist pillolarrea: 10 POR CIENTO DE LA TRANSFERENCIA. DER. DE SOLIDARIDAD Y DER. DE FORMACION ..ES LO QUE DEBE RECIBIR PEÑAROL POR EL PASE DE GASTON.RAMIREZ pillolarrea: LA CIFRA SERA CERCANA A LOS 2 MILLONES 500 MIL DOLARES pillolarrea: 10 PERCENT OF THE TRANSFER. DER. SOLIDARITY AND DER. TRAINING .. IS WHAT MUST BE RECEIVED BY PASS PEÑAROL GASTON.RAMIREZ pillolarrea: LA CIFRA SERA CERCANA A LOS 2 MILLONES 500 MIL DOLARES

I think he means that once the deal is completed, then Ramirez will be a 100% Saints player rather than co-owned by Penarol as there has been some confusion over this and different peoples interpretations of the 30%

Tweet from Journalist of El Observador in Uruguay. Another dodgy translation: mardecaux: #Peñarol recibirá cerca de US$ 2.500.000 por el pase de Gastón Ramírez a #Southampton de Inglaterra. mardecaux: # Peñarol receive about U.S. $ 2.5 million by the Gastón Ramírez pass to # Southampton in England.

Must admit he looks a very good player. Whether he fits the wing position we'd want him to play, who knows?

peterwhite_1: Got to be honest so many transfer twists I don't want to build up hopes until I know something definite. Ear to the ground. #saintsfc

tancredipalmeri: For Ramirez, apparently still 600k € to define before deal done between Southampton and Bologna is done.Money to be payed to Penarol

DL_corriere: Penarol 30% means that the club who sells ramirez pays 30% of its gain. Ok saints fans?

DL_corriere: @Saintsareback @RossiSFC @7pickett75 penarol just doesn't want to lose its money in the future DL_corriere: @RossiSFC @Saintsareback @7pickett75 @tancredipalmeri still no agreement with penarol. deal completed = ramirez 100% saints

Well that sounds positive. Care to share?

Mousse81: @jimmysaint7 @danbsfc Seem complete, lack of some details to close tomorrow with Bologna. More problems Saints-agent-Penarol

Mousse81: #Ramirez is a transfer saga: now there are some problems between Saints, Penarol and Bentancur. Nothing dramatic, but money problems.

DL_corriere: to all my saints followers: sorry if i cannot reply to all your requests .. but i am refreshing the tweets for you all DL_corriere: l'affare #ramirez è in stallo per il mancato accordo tra saints e penarol sulla clausola del 30% sulla plusvalenza detenuta dagli uruguaiani DL_corriere: # ramirez the deal has stalled for lack of agreement between saints and Penarol on clause of 30% on capital gains held by Uruguay

DL_corriere: i've never seen such a complicated deal like #ramirez one is. as i told, too many parts are involved

OH FFS!!! DL_corriere: rumors: no deal completed between #southampton and #penarol for #ramirez. very complicated situation. #bolognafc now waits

He's a journalist for the Corriere Dello Sport

I dont know what this means or what the next few days are gonna hold... DL_corriere: the battle for gaston #ramirez is still on .. i'm really tired.

The British, for 70% of his card, will pour into the coffers of Bologna, a figure that is around 14 million euros. Positive note, a player ungrateful, capricious, not attached to the shirt and with a sympathetic prosecutor as a punch in the eye had decamped. Negative: that player was, together with Alessandro Diamanti, the best team, a real value added almost impossible to replace. Some work in entry but this must while to finish it, as long as the money made from the sale of Uruguayan playmaker will not be used almost entirely to fix the finances of the company. etc etc etc

I dont get head nor tail of that article! Anyone care to explain it?

Nope! But it does back up the earlier tweet.

I think we can say this one is done. Bologna have just spent €4.7m on a striker. They've used the Ramirez money. http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fm.zerocinquantuno.com%2F%3Faction%3Dread%26idnotizia%3D6699

DL_corriere: my opinion: tomorrow #ramirez will be a saint. #bolognafc in talks with lazio for striker sergio floccari

rumors: #southampton #bolognafc penarol & #ramirez's agent are in talks.is not expected the deal will be completed today but parts are close
