Minty Posted 17 August, 2012 Share Posted 17 August, 2012 Well he's 21, was apparently wanted by Inter, Tottenham and Liverpool, has been described as the "Uruguayan Kaka", has nine caps for a national team that is ranked fourth in the world and scored eight goals in 28 games for Bologna in Serie A last season. As summaries go, that's one of the better ones we've ever had. Turkish's point is the clincher though. Perhaps we should start describing our whole team this way: The Argentinian Joe Hart; The English Maicon; The Dutch Tony Adams; The Portuguese David Luiz; The Scottish(!?) Roberto Carlos... etc...

up and away Posted 17 August, 2012 Share Posted 17 August, 2012 The only reason Ramirez will be travelling to Saints is for a medical and a signing. Bologna would not give the go a head to travel without things being agreed, that's how it always works. Liverpool have that agreement and could step in but that's looking doubtful until they move on Andy Carrol. If this goes ahead it marks a very major change in direction for Saints in many areas. Cortese has been reluctant to go for the big salaried players so far, but I imagine baning your head against the wall in chasing quality has had it's toll and on agents fees as well. I get the feeling Alan Carrs accountant has arranged his tax, hence the net figure being described. Smart move by Saints if that's the case. We end up with a two tier wage structure but a lot of sense in that to get the quality for that odd player who can make all the difference. On the playing side and with the interest still in Phillips it looks like this is the guy we want to supply the bullets. It does fit in especially when you consider the interest in the Dutch play maker. Still with further required from the defence but this is the signing that could make all the difference.

Foxy Posted 17 August, 2012 Share Posted 17 August, 2012 (edited) He looked pretty crap in the Olympics. Very lightweight but I guess he must have something in him for Liverpool to go after him. Since when did Liverpool showing an interest in (or signing) someone provide any guarantee of quality. Edited 17 August, 2012 by Foxy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitzhugh Fella Posted 17 August, 2012 Share Posted 17 August, 2012 Don't want to rain on the parade but according to some Italian Saints on the List, the owner of Bologna has just been interviewed on Italian TV and said the two clubs are some way apart in agreeing a fee. They are asking for 20m up front (Euros) and we have only offered 15m spread over 3 years. Also he is angry with Ramirez for some of his comments and is considering fining him.

"And another point while I'm at it, we were underdogs. We were extreme underdogs. Southampton on the other hand are coming back into the league with a bigger fanbase than us, a bigger stadium, a bigger club reputation, a respected academy, a better promoted squad than we had. It will be easier for them to get players in than it was for us and it beggars belief if you can't see that." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
