What with third party's screwing deals up, moaning shysters from up north bleating of improper approaches, and every manager thinking they can ask funny money for any player with a modecum of talent. This whole thing has been badly reported; and a timely reminder, not to believe anything until it appears on the official website.

My cat is the traditional black and white type.
When he was a kitten, he was cute like the one in the felix advert.
Now he is older, he looks like a badger.
He rarely stays in the house all night, particularly in the warmer weather.

Sorry but Saints are being made to look inept in t he transfer market. First off was Buttner which collapsed because of a supplementary claim. Then Davis which Saints were forced to stump up for when orginally a free transfer, now Ramirez not being tied up properly with the player sinking the deal by talking out of turn.End of a dream as Cortese always pulls the plug when this sort of thing happens. Doesnt anyone tell players to keep quiet until they are told a deal is ready to be signed? Seems not at Southampton..

What are Saints playing at this summer? So far we have had an upset Rangers over Davis and his contract, confused Vitesse over Buttner and that debacle, a disgusted Palace over our original offer for Clyne. A furious Holloway over Phillips and now another furious club with Ramirez. It does make you wonder what we are playing at. My biggest worry is Gillingham, when they see Forecast in action!!

Heres hoping for a CB next week. As it stands, we are 1 injury away from fielding Seabourne at City.

Dan,
Well said.
Everyone has an opinion,that is what this site is about.BUT.
I get so irritated by the so called saints supporters that are constantly negative at just about every move that our Chairman and manager are reported to have made.
Like me they have little or no knowledge about the secretive goings on of the club.That is how it should stay IMO.
I would love to see this quality Ramires lad, playing for Saints.
He is being criticised for opening his mouth to the media.
At 21, he is still a kid, could you keep your mouth closed if you had been offered a fortune and under pressure from the professional media for news, at his age?I bet he couldn't contain his excitement.
Probably wont happen now but just shows to where our great team have travelled since it's nigh-on collapse.
Keep up the good work Saints.
COYR.

Not sure - I've never even been to East Manchester (it's a MASSIVE poo hole) let alone the Etihad. I think City Square might be for home fans only but I could well be spouting nonsense.

Carlos Tevez tweeted last night "Strange, when lying in a hot bath, how your willy floats to the top like a periscope." ie code for: "Just getting on Flybe 2113 to Southampton for medical with this fabulous club."

This raises two issues....

1. Any team spirit or loyalty in this overpaid man? I have my doubts.

2. What on earth are Nicola and Nige thinking? We need a tall CB - not a squat Argie prima donna.

Chances are this will fall through and NC and NA will have embarrassed us yet again.

Political correctness gone out of the window, calling a Uruguayan an Argie is the equivalent of calling a Skunt a Sotonian.

Just how are the Echo being negative and not supporting Saints? They are simply reporting that the Bologna president feels the deal is not on. Would you prefer that they left it at their earlier "positive" albeit incorrect story that he had signed for Saints? If you want the "everything all positive" stories, stick to the Saints Official Site.

I was in Manchester Yesterday working, i went into a pub with my Saints shirt proudly on. As you can expect i got a very arrogant response from Utd fans, who were showing off, saying we dont stand a chance etc etc. Then the city fans started to have there say, weirdly on how much they think we are a big threat. Alot of the fans have been watching Youtube vids of Saints, and they feel the game will be very tight. So sounds like theres alot of nerves around leading upto the first game, Something the city fans think might be there downfall for the first game of the season.

Presidente Bologni can say what he likes and the Echo can choose who ever they like to quote but the fact is that the player is very excitedly blabbing to the Italian press that he is looking forward to coming over to be the centre of the Saints first team.

Nigel Adkins very responsibly only responds to the press article rather than adding fuel to the fire:

He says "I think he (Ramirez) has come out in Italy and said it is already sorted, but I think you'll find the policy of the football club is until the player has signed on the dotted line and we announce it then really we try to do everything privately. We have been consistent with that over the years and we'll probably stay that way.

"If it is true, then it obviously shows the ambition of the football club. I know the chairman, Nicola Cortese, is very ambitious here and it is great.

"We were in administration a few years ago and we've come a hell of a long way in a short space of time.

"To be linked with players as such - and don't forget we broke the transfer record in the summer when we signed Jay Rodriguez - shows we're very ambitious, but likewise we'll cut our cloth accordingly.

"Having been in administration once, the last thing we'll do is end up in that situation again. The club is run very well, very prudently.

"But we're very, very ambitious and having reached the Premier League now, very quickly, we've got to give ourselves an opportunity to do well there."

To me Nigel Adkins is one of the decent honest guys in football and Nicola Cortese is a decent Christian family man at the top of his game in business. Nicola had the trust of Markus Liebherr to the extent that he bought SFC. Now the family of Markus trust Nicola to continue the legacy.

I think I know where my allegiance lies but I just wish a few more fans and local media people showed a bit of gratitude and respect. The things some say and way they say it is sometimes at best shameful drivel.

Trust in Nicola and Nigel for memory of Markus.

Saints Forever - Onward to Europe.

This Ramirez rumour is done - move on!

Carlos Tevez tweeted last night "Strange, when lying in a hot bath, how your willy floats to the top like a periscope." ie code for: "Just getting on Flybe 2113 to Southampton for medical with this fabulous club."

This raises two issues....

1. Any team spirit or loyalty in this overpaid man? I have my doubts.

2. What on earth are Nicola and Nige thinking? We need a tall CB - not a squat Argie prima donna.

Chances are this will fall through and NC and NA will have embarrassed us yet again.

Political correctness gone out of the window, calling a Uruguayan an Argie is the equivalent of calling a Skunt a Sotonian.

Tevez.

Calling a skunt a Sotonian is the highest accolade that could possibly be bestowed upon them. However it's unlikely anyone would call a stunted six fingered runt a Sotonian other than by way of pisstake!

I posted this on wrong thread (Phillips),

The story going around town last night about Ramirez was that in his usual fashion NC asked that the deal would be kept under wraps until the deal was done, much like the Buttner deal, but Ramirez and his agent jumped the gun and NC has walked away, the Bologna president is furious that it has leaked and that the deal could be scuppered I said could as the negotiations had reached a very late stage it is only the instalments to iron out and the medical. So who knows?

Worst game for Citee. We might just surprise them and a few others. No pressure on us. Everyone thinks it will be 4 (plus) - 0. We can just play and see what happens.

Nope, it was the old "not good enough for us" defence, Ross County 1 Celtic 1 and he didn't score.

Whatever happens on Sunday, win or lose it will still only be 3 points, same as the wigan game.

We must not get too downhearted if we lose,or too euphoric if we win.

I like the expressions its a Maratho not a sprint

Or by the inch its a cinch, by the yard its hard.

Well I'm certainly chuckling and grinning a lot! Saving the belly laugh though. Their fans aren't going to save them, there will be a couple of last ditch attempts and then we can proper roll around in hysterics.

Facts:
Nicola has signed Davis, Clyne, Jayrod at record expenditure.

Press are saying he is working towards bring home players like Ramirez and Phillips at top whack prices.

Fact not a word has been released inappropriately by The Chairman or Manager.

Fact not one word has been said against Nicola Cortese by the clubs he dealt with or is dealing with other than he is firm, fair and diligent.

The pathetic ramblings of anti-saints morns on here is shocking... there is no excuse for it.... the window is open the cheque book is open and the press are saying Saints are on the spend.... good enough for me.

Good hunting Nicola. Cheers Nigel and Good Luck Saints in the countdown for the opening game.

Get behind the club, silence the disrespect and get ready for football.

Dan, sense of reason yet again mate.

Happy to be proved wrong.

I hope you ARE proved wrong, but I don't think any of us have the knowledge to make an accurate assessment.

One thing I can predict with total accuracy is that if he does end up with us you'll only hear any comment from our club once the deal is signed, sealed and delivered. Which is really the way it should be.

(And, frankly, if that way of doing business annoys montecristosaint, then I'm all for it on that basis alone)
