Gaston Ramirez - Signs 4 Year Deal

[RedWillie]

LOL ! hope not....

What, we've bought him on a one month non-contract basis ?

[derry]

I was at sea off Plymouth. It got a bit lumpy.

 

The next week on a day off I flew a photographic survey for the Forestry Commission to survey the fallen trees on their properties from here to Yorkshire. Unbelievable destruction.

[Crab Lungs]

Football manager and reality has just merged into one existence for me

[Turkish]

i wonder what these two think of it all?

 

 

[B Rabbit]

Depends on the tax structure of payments.

 

Yea thank you for your interest.... It's just a ball park figure numb nuts.

[The9]

I was interested to hear what happened in 1986 regarding Uruguay not that I didn't guess as they had form.

 

You didn't have to comment to find that out. They were basically very dirty and cynical in the same group as Scotland and Denmark (who beat them 6-1) in the World Cup. Managed to get a bloke sent off in a matter of seconds against Scotland, hacking people down all over the shop (still drew 0-0) and some excellent professional fouls. Made Suarez's goal-line save in 2010 look like child's play.

Probably best not comment at all then.

 

A throw away comment?

Ramirez to Gazzetta:"Southampton only club that wanted me for real.Did my research' date='their fans are great.I still dunno a single teammate"[/quote']

 

Translated means "Southampton only club to meet my wage demands"

 

Great statement of intent whichever way it goes.

[Minty]

Basically, he's getting a decent wedge.

Haha! Always makes me chuckle when these muppets are brought back up!

Is that for real?

[Glasgow_Saint]

Is that for real?

 

Yes - he has been quoting SWF on his official twitter account all day.

 

I am his fav poster

You should save that picture in case it disappears off the Echo site. Can see them becoming legendary like the Ted Bates statue.

You get my vote.

Who'd have thunk we'd be offering £12m or so for a player.

[hypochondriac]

*fighting the urge to get excited...

[Stattmeister]

Maybe Ramirez saw our shirts and thought we were Liverpool. Nonetheless I'm not moaning.... too excited to moan (that came out wrong - so did that...)...

[Minty]

These 2 muppets.

 

I know it's just a joke to some, but I find it a bit sad that this is constantly picked on... I may or may not agree with them and how they reacted but I'm not gonna take the **** out of people just for standing up for what they believe in.

 

Anyway, back to Ramirez.

Holy cr*p !

[saintsmooth]

Gaston said this to ESPN - "It is an offer that you cannot refuse. They will give me so much money (€2 million net per year and more than €1 million signing-on fee)."

Personally i liked these comments.

 

"But they believe in me in every way, I will be essential and above all they are going to grow. Southampton is a newly promoted team in the English top-flight but they will become a big team in years to come.

 

"They have told me they are going to build and that is very stimulating."

 

obviously got a good offer but he's here because he wants to be part of growing the club and becuase he felt wanted. A great sign IMO.

[Saint Scott]

Does he have to be signed by midday today even though we play Sunday to be eligible for City?

[surrey1saint]

I will not excited until this is on the OS(not to much anyway)

[Bad Wolf]

I would imagine it would be something to do with saturday not being a working day.

Makes me LOL every time.

Would have thought work permit will prevent that,even if we pull it off.

Well worth a read.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Wow - if that's not a statement of intent I don't know what is - bound to be a 1st team regular starter. However, will only believe it to be true when it's on the OS. Also, I'm still concerned that we've not signed a quality CB yet - that could ruin what otherwise could be a great 1st season back.

This in full (may have been posted, thread's moving too fast) :

 

Ramirez told Corriere Dello Sport: "They believe in me in every way... and above all I have said that they are going to grow. Southampton is a newly promoted team in the English top flight, but they have the means to stand tall in a few years. And with me they are going to build. It's all very stimulating. Even if it is a little strange."

The 21-year-old scored eight goals in 28 apperances in Serie A last season and revealed that he was offered a deal that was too hard to refuse.

"The truth? I think so, yes, this time," he said when asked if he was about to leave. "Bologna have reached an economic agreement with Southampton. There are only a few details to sort out, but they have found the agreement in principle, and the English club have reached an agreement with me.

"It is an offer that you cannot refuse. They will give me so much money (€2 million net per year and more than €1 million signing-on fee)."

Nicola Cortese, executive chairman of Southampton, is believed to have been key in bringing the youngster to the club from Italy.

[Thedelldays]

I wonder if he was swayed by our far superior promotional DvDs?

 

Of did we blag it and just superimposed gastons face over buttners?

[The9]

Does he have to be signed by midday today even though we play Sunday to be eligible for City?

 

Yes - and it's not because Saturday is a working day, because Man U play Monday night and van Persie's deadline is the same.

[Thedelldays]

All hail nicky cortese!!!

[Ampersound]

Does he have to be signed by midday today even though we play Sunday to be eligible for City?

 

Yes.. Van Persie needs to sign by lunchtime too for Manure to play on Monday so it was mentioned on TS this morning so it goes the same for Ramirez

[This Charming Man]

All hail nicky cortese!!!

 

It's Nicola to peasants like us.

[The9]

All hail nicky cortese!!!

 

Get rid of the car park fee and the booking fees and push us on to the top half and I'll be there with you. I'm easily pleased, just stop pretending we're self-sustainable and get on with it.

They let him have a go on the bar code scanners.

[thorpie the sinner]

On another note, 643 people on this site this morning WOW!!!!!!

I much prefer the old days when there was no booking free, free to park and we signed players of the calibre of Mikel Nielsen.

[Shrek]

Holy crap, I'm more excited than when we signed Rory Delap!

[St.Patrik]

Even now in Swedish papers - well thanks to me : )

All weekend games whether Saturday or TV designated days are deemed to be Saturday for registration purposes so as not to give an advantage to a team playing on Sun/Mon. Different rules for loans.
