Well, of course the club would deny any interest if we didn't get the player. Looks better to say we were never in for him than to say we lost out.

No we've not, we've done the odd one. We've probably been sounded out by the agent that if Ramos can't get the contract he wants at Madrid would we be interested but that will be about it.
I refuse to admit to myself that it's done. It's going to continue, it has to!Cue the meltdown.
Every year this happens, a load of positive reports, then one negative report and the muppets crumble. FWIW Diego Torres said that Madrid want to sell Ramos, we're desperate for him and he wants to move to us. He works for El Pais and is highly regarded. I'd trust him over Marca tbh.
Assurances from whom?
It isnt done, but one article from Marca and its hell brakes loose.
Otamendi isn't going anywhere so we can afford to stall and see what happens with Ramos. If we let schneiderlin go somewhere else though, it'd be a massive feck up.
Ramos and his team. Who else?
Who do you think, his mother ffs.
Thats the spirit!
What to you base this assumption on? There's way too much noise on this one. Not saying we'll get him but we're clearly serious about our interest.
With the amount of noise that has hit the papers, if we wasn't interested in him, you would have expect us to brief someone wouldn't you?
The voice in Eds head?
I guess we've offered Ramos a craptonne of money and a new challenge, especially if he's being nudged out the door it might just happen.
It's really the only way the club can save face by losing De gea. They take our best player and we take their future captain. Even if we pay 30m for him it won't seem quite so bad as De gea is leaving whatever happens.

I'm not sure what point you are trying to make at all, but my point was I hope we wouldn't waste our time in trying to reach a fee with the selling club if the player has no intention of moving.
It's be daft to haggle over the price without knowing the player is interested. That's the only point being made.
Weren't they reporting yesterday that they met and Ramos asked them to listen to offers?
Perhaps the truce today is just them accepting his request and both parties agreeing to part ways amicably without airing their shite in public?

I definitely agree with that. Having said that, there's no way of ensuring a player is genuinely interested, is there?
That'd explain all the links.
They are rehashing yesterday articles, there is nothing new, here.
Ensuring? No. You gotta take his word really.
Did people even read the Marca piece? It just says the truce is not leaking shit to the press and to talk more calmly about things. That's all. The airing of dirty laundry in public paints everyone in a poor light.
And if Ramos' people do continue the leaks, then Madrid have another stick they can use to beat him if they want to turn the fans against him.

City want him
We need assurances from Ramos or we shouldn't continue
Reminded me of the time I tried posting after mixing Coke with Ambien a few months back
He won't go there before we make out kind up really. Matter of days anyways as I don't see the Ramos issue dragging on for long.
Brilliant!
Needham's post reads like he's just inserted random Man United references into his sentences.
Needham for muppet post of the year.
Surely he's just taking the piss? I mean he is capable of...you know... speaking English.
Exactly, some people need to take the time out to apologize to things and row the boat ashore
This doesn't necessarily mean they've agreed a new deal. It could mean Real have agreed to let him sign for us... Although, the former is far more likely.
@Needham seems to have lost the plot, the muppet season has taken our first soldier.
Is this a new screenshot or some old?
And leave Phil Jones' grandparents alone

Really? Yeah Ramos is going to respond that fast to some unknown cnut, who fakes pics.
imagine if we signed ramos AND otamedi.
My kermit mask is ready and waiting.

Make nonsense for there to be a truce. The contract situation still wouldn't be resolved and they would just be standing still
To be fair, why not? We fecked up on Fabregas big time, but if Madrid want to stir the pot on players, there's no harm in trying I suppose.
If indeed it's true.
I think the truce means that they'll stop leaning shit to the press and using underhand negotiation tactics etc
