Exactly!

Or they have just done what we have done on here and believed some women who tweeted sky saying it was a done deal.

You clearly know f**k all about Twitter. There are people on there who are reliable. Unfortunately everyone is so desperate on here that they will accept and clinge on to any tweet that is positive about this 'deal'. KEEP UP FFS!!.

Why are you on here then?

Its a false alarm. It obviously came from this... @AlvaroLevrero: @SkySportsNews say #GastónRamírez 's deal's done finally to #Southampton for an amazing total amount of £ 18:000.000. The biggest until now. Some women who claims she saw it on sky sport in Italy.

Link? Or are you getting it from this... @AlvaroLevrero: @SkySportsNews say #GastónRamírez 's deal's done finally to #Southampton for an amazing total amount of £ 18:000.000. The biggest until now. Who has tweeted that 4 times to get attention from Sky...

This forum will go into meltdown when he doesn't sign by the deadline & nobody knows why. Its been close for a week now but excuse after excuse is coming out as to why it isn't done yet. Just a few details to sort. Once those are sorted there seems to be a few more details to sort. Now we're set up for a huge disappointment. Its a shame this has overshadowed the signings of Mayuka & Yoshida. I hope & pray that I am wrong.

Today is decisive has been used for the last week now

Yawn...

I really dont think he will sign. Its gone on for too long with people saying its on or off and then close. Nothing has happened for a few days now which suggests one of two things. He has either signed and we are awaiting work permit to be issues before announcing it (ala Mayuka) OR someone else has come in and is about to pip us.

Yes

I've never understood people who do this. Attention seeking?

The echo is ****... 'But it is understood Saints are poised this afternoon to complete what is reportedly a £2million deal inside the next 24 hours.' So is that this afternoon or next 24 hours then? They dont have a clue.

It was more of a generic sit on the fence comment from Adkins. Neither confirmed or denied anything and just said we will basically go about our business quietly and only comment when a transfer is done.

This.

We now have 5 first team strikers fighting for one position unless they are played out of position on the wing. I'm sure when Lee & Sharp signed last season they didn't intend on just playing a part & didnt expect us to sign another two strikers this summer.

Who changed the title to awaiting work permit confirmation... We have the work permit. We are waiting entry clearance.

Southampton FC ‏@officialsaints #SaintsFC have agreed a deal to sign Zambia forward Emmanuel Mayuka from BSC Young Boys. Full story to follow at http://www.saintsfc.co.uk.

Not surprising considering the team we have out.

Even though this was agreed before the fee was agreed. More examples of poor journalism

Its pathetic the amount of people criticising twitter. The majority of the info we know about this transfer has come from reasonably reliable sources on there. Its better than your average joe on a messageboard. You just cant please some people.

Is it bad that a player wants to aign for us that mich

Sorry Hitler

@BethnalYG: @neillarder it was a personal conversation so can't go into details. Not hard to work out why though #4thchoice #soldalie

According to this Twitter monkey he is unhappy at Saints... @BethnalYG: Looks like big, bad Maya Yoshida is off to Southampton. Tadanari Lee won't have recommended it to him though #unhappybunny @neillarder: @BethnalYG HAHA... And this is based on what exactly? @BethnalYG: @neillarder the things he has said to me - directly. Not going to go into it but he's unhappy. What did we do without twitter?
