Wouldn't think he would fit with us but who knows these days, maybe Cortese has read Dibden Purlieu Saint's transfer activity thread and its swayed him.

MerceSaint28 Posted 14 August, 2012 Share Posted 14 August, 2012 Ramirez to Saints....?? ha ha i wish I would be doing a Agustin Delgado and dancing in the streets if that came off... We can't even negotiate or seal a deal with Blackpool, let alone Bologna... Cortese is tighter than a duck's arse on transfers...hence why 2 of our 4 transfers were compensation and the other was those giants Gillingham for a 20 year old keeper, no one had heard of. We probably got him for a bag of balls and some training cones. Yes we got Rodrigues for decent money...but come on, it is the very least we need to be spending...we are in the biggest league in world football! My worry...where is this scouting network ???? you can't tell me we can't find a couple of centre halves and a right winger in another European league than some of the over paid dross on this island...
