How are we unable to provide bank guarantees?

Because he said the other day that he was not happy with the way that Ramirez blurted it out initially.

Guaraldi and freezes all back, "Ramirez?'s Not over yet" Negotiations with the Southampton jumped sigh of relief from the fans rossoblu, but coming back from holidays, Guaraldi disassemble the enthusiasm with a few words: "It is not over yet." It is clear that the company will try to sell all but Gaston, as is also clear that against Chievo Pioli can not deploy the Uruguayan playmaker and lacks even a hint of value. A beginning immediately uphill for technical native of Parma will have to do with the little available, at least in Verona, waiting Floccari.

@DL_corriere: to my #saintsfc followers: price is ok (€15mln) but not the terms, bologna wants guaratee about the payments.ramirez waits

Something is going on. There is just something fishy about the whole deal. reluctantnicko: @Jayrodfan2 @ConnorArmstrong Do u think u r going to walk away a potential 12m deal for a player and let a bit of drama put u off? reluctantnicko: @ConnorArmstrong @Jayrodfan2 U don't go in this high and hard and walk away. Posture City. reluctantnicko: @adkinsisourking @ConnorArmstrong @Jayrodfan2 U don't go from the high level of confidence u had yesterday to this brink of despair stuff. reluctantnicko: @adkinsisourking @ConnorArmstrong @Jayrodfan2 Just the chat from Italy. No distress flares back in Blighty. -------------------------------------- peterwhite_1: @ConnorArmstrong Nothing on Ramirez as yet, could be keeping it quiet because of what has happened with Buttner #saintsfc

And Nixon still thinks it'll go through! He must have some pretty decent information as every other piece of info is against him at this moment in time! @reluctantnicko: @Jayrodfan2 @danbsfc Bologna want a sale. U want to buy him. Players seems fine with terms. It's called 'negotiation.' @reluctantnicko: @danbsfc Deals go on like this all the time. Don't stress. Let Bologna guy and his bank manager think what 12m means ... and wait for call. @reluctantnicko: @Jayrodfan2 @danbsfc It's what clubs do. Leak there's a snag. Hope for interest. Maybe expect a few more quid. Yawn ....

Game over. http://www.ansa.it/ansalatina/notizie/rubriche/goooleada/20120821163535457096.html Southampton froze Ramirez pass MILAN, 21 (ANSA) - Pass the Uruguayan Gaston Ramirez was congleado Southampton after Bologna again rejected the payment terms offered by the English club. The President returned to Italy Albano Guaraldi "empty handed" after rejecting the payment of 15 million euros would cost the signing. Bologna's position is determined by the arrangement at the time of transfer Ramirez signed with Penarol and requires payment of 30 percent of that figure to Uruguayan club and his agent, plus 5 percent for the call "solidarity fund "for intercontinental passes. Southampton would have remained firm in his proposal to settle the transaction in four installments (the first immediate and certain consistency), which ran into the president's refusal expressed as Guaraldi, when missing a few days to close the Italian book of passes .

You brave man Jaidi.... Radhi Jaidi‏ @RadhijaidiOff Have no news on the signing, yet )) #SaintsFC

Lets put it this way, Yes, but the deal is on the verge of going completely and utterly tits up.

#Peñarol: La CD autorizó al apoderado de Gastón Ramírez la venta al Southampton. Si se concreta la venta, Peñarol cobrará U$S 1.5 millones. # Peñarol: The CD seized authorized the sale to Gaston Ramirez Southampton. If completed sale, Peñarol charged U $ S 1.5 million. So in effect, Penarol have agreed to accept £1.5m from Saints.

The Tweet In Question.... Radhi Jaidi‏ @RadhijaidiOff Hi everyone how are you today, any good news ? )

As I have just said to Nixon, maybe we are trying to make Bologna feel that the deal is off due to the price to try and force them to lower their demands? If they don't (which looks like it), then maybe we'll give in and say "ok, we'll pay full price". Would be a very dodgy time to start doing this but Nixon says that the club are extremely confident that we'll get the deal done. Because we have managed to get the Bologna chairman over here, he says its a massive step and I'm sure we arent gonna let the deal pass us by now?

Daniele Labanti™‏@DL_corriere @SalgadoLord impossible to reach an agreement on terms of payment so far Daniele Labanti™‏@DL_corriere @SalgadoLord bolognafc put a sort of 'ultimatum'..today deadline.an insider told it is quite over, very difficult to change the situation Daniele Labanti™‏@DL_corriere @AlexMasoon quite over, not all over. deadline is set up today from bolognafc chairman

Fans of Bologna can smile jumps transfer Ramirez to Southampton Despite an offer of 15 million euros, the red and blue do not accept the terms of payment of English: is breaking. The midfielder for now does not move. Surprise: The Bologna breaks with Southampton and is held Gaston Ramirez. The midfielder was on the brink of English society, then the reverse of rossoblù. What went wrong? The President Albano Guaraldi and the Director General Roberto Zanzi not accept payment imposed by the Premier League club. The offer of the Saints lived up to expectations: 15 million for 70% of the player's card in hand to staff of Ramirez. The red and white but they are not going to pay everything at once. The Bologna does not think so - he writes the 'Gazzetta dello Sport' - and laid down the law: yes purchase in installments, but the bill must be settled within one year. In addition, the first installment must be rather 'substantial'. At that point the Southampton surrendered. And now? To the delight of fans Bologna negotiation seems to be skipped completely. Ramirez will not be happy, convinced as the British proposal for a respectable engagement and eager to fly in the UK. The parties are still very close. And the transfer market you never know. Seems we said no to the large upfront fee. Shame but I trust NC and if it isnt right for the club, IMO I thought it would be, then dont risk it.

F*** it.

Daniele Labanti™‏@DL_corriere rumors told #bolognafc said 'now or never' to #southampton to reach the €15mln deal for gaston ramirez. so far its 'never'

Please let this happen!!! Worth the £500+ season ticket price alone!

As someone said earlier, maybe that is why the meeting is being held at this time of night? Due to time difference, someone from Penarol (chairman, secretary etc) will be available back in Uruguay to sign any documentation that could be faxed / emailed over?

The thing what ****ed me off was that before Colin Murray even finished saying Ramirez's name, Lawrenson jumped straight in with "He wont be going to Southampton".

There is a piece on Mirror online tonight about 2 'live' Saints targets. Nixon said that 'Saints are awful sure' that we are landing 2 very soon and that we are still looking at other positions. He thinks we are going to sign 4 or 5 in total between now and the end of the window!

So.... the meeting starts in 5 minutes.... bet that's quite tense in there! Love to be a fly on the wall! Still think he will come. As I've said, we wouldnt have got this far without signing him IMO. An extra couple of million wont hurt. The only delay so far is that Cortese is trying to drive a hard bargain, totally understandable.

Totally forgot about that. This week could be extremely exciting then!

See if you dont ask, you dont get! Hopefully get it wrapped up asap and get him in training asap. Would be great to potentially see him play v Wigan!
