Transfer Rumour Sandro Ramirez

Thank god Moyes isn't around with his 10.59 last day deals anymore, some of you lot wouldn't have any dry sheets left. The window is not even open yet. Please stop this ridiculous behaviour. We'll probably get him, it might though fall through for any number of reasons. Either way l I doubt he's the next Messi so Everton can quite easily take our big chequebook somewhere else without too many worries.
Everyone loves a mystery last minute transfer though (preferably after signing a load of boss players earlier on in the window first, mind)!
 
I heard Harlem Globetrotters are sniffing about him.

We've got no chance really.
Forget the panic button! We need something more drastic....

He's been very coy.

Interview with El Mundo from last night - pubbed this morning.

"I know nothing, I'm focused on the European."

I think those 'he's signed to waiting to be announced' comments can be put to bed. Jordan Pickford had to contend with the highest price tag ever for a British keeper and a medical whilst away on international duty. Compare this to Sandro who had a medical before the tournament started and still hasn't signed. It's obvious he is hoping to have a big tournament, to get interest from 'bigger clubs'.
 

Paul Joyce has not said it is done. His tweet said "set to complete".

Dominic King did say it was done though.
Maybe Sandro simply doesn't want to talk about it as he is trying to focus on a major tournament.
Believe it or not, people do sometimes lie in interviews!
 
I think the 'announced in 48 hours' thing was leaked via club sources due to the fact that Spain's first u-21 game was imminent. Essentially confirming the transfer to the football world and preventing other clubs from trying to stick their noses in and allow Sandro to concentrate on the tournament. You only have a medical if you've agreed personal terms, and he's had his medical!
 

I am not panicking just wondering why they announced so confidently it was 'done' or 48 hours off?Surely a bit of restraint is needed when this guy had a medical at Athleti not long ago and still didn't sign for them, as it gets our hopes up. I prefer the quiet stealth with which we completed the Klassen and Pickford deals.

If Sandro hasn't officially signed, other clubs 'can still stick their noses in' and attempt to sign him. Alternatively you could say no official announcement could have alerted other clubs that he is still available. There is something not right about this delay.
 
Haha this thread is a shambles. People wetting the bed about a player 99% of us had never heard of a month ago when only positive news has come out since the Atletico transfer ban was upheld. He's not even been slightly linked anywhere else and he's focused on playing the U21 tournament with an outstanding Spain side that are playing to win.

I'll refer to my original point it didn't stop Pickford signing and he didn't get the opportunity to meet club officials and have a medical at the club, like Sandro did.

To be fair, I understand the annoyance to an extent. We've seen it with Everton transfer targets over and over again over the years - being used as a dangling carrot before going to other clubs on an improved deal.

I think the frustration is that it would have been nice to sign him quickly and with confidence, because it would indicate a shift in our mindset as a club. As in we just say "sign or we move on", rather than "sign or we're goosed and scrambling around for someone else".

We'll see though.
