[Jonnyboy]

Has anyone got any youtube vids of this guy??

[explorer saint]

Hey move on from Lawrenson show some class another signing to come

[Shrek]

Outstanding

[LGTL]

I've just heard, Liverpool are to hold a minutes silence after being beaten to the signing of Ramirez.

[stev2001]

Just read through the first page of this thread. Some good reading.

I voted yes by the way.

Lol...

 

Calm down scouser,s calm down

[cryoman1965]

Just want to say Mark Lawrenson, you are a tired, arrogant, desperate, out of touch, ******!

 

Don't hold back there croyden...lol

[Gingeletiss]

Being a supporter of the club, deemed a 'happy clapper' by the doom-sayer brigade, I'm proud to say that I voted yes.

..all night vigil surely ?

[Golden Balls]

Off to comment on that 'welcome to Liverpool' YouTube video

Southampton FC ‏@officialsaints

Who's enjoying transfer deadline day? We have a few more videos going on Saints Player shortly… #saintsfc

[badgerx16]

Angel Gabriel on Twitter: "How did Southampton get Gaston Ramirez. This guy is pure quality. He would be a star in any of the top four teams. Good buy."

[Ampersound]

Completely over the moon... He will give Arsenal something to worry about that for sure.

[dorsetdave]

I don't know what all the fuss is about? This Ramirez chap looks a bit old to me

[View From The Top]

Chuffed.

[Saint Scott]

So if his work permit and deal was concluded last friday is he still not eligible for the United game?

[Viking Warrior]

Yep we are Southampton . There will be many a premier club quaking in their boots . For the anti chairman posters on this forum I hope your choking on your negativity towards him . Say we are Southampton we are staying up

[Saints Fan Dan]

They're talking about him on 5 live right now.

[Viking Warrior]

Maybe we should change our away shirt to gold in honour of our Olympians

@GaryLineker what do you think of Southampton finally signing Gaston Ramirez? Lawrenson was certain it wouldn't happen on last weeks MOTD3.

 

Fantastic!

 

LGTL is Pete Devereux? =\ From The Artful Dodger.... =\

If Southampton sign Gaston Ramirez I will chop off my balls and feed them to the dog

 

amidst all the excitement, lets take a moment as someone will never get to celebrate fathers day

[Golden Balls]

Didn't say he wouldn't be, but let's not pretend that we can mix it with the big boys in the transfer market.

 

Agreed

[Golden Balls]

I will buy a season ticket for every year of his contract if we sign him!

 

4 season tickets for you

I'm more concerned for the dog.

[Shroppie]

Just re-read the first few pages of this thread. Think quite a few eminent posters need to eat some humble pie. "It's not going to happen". "We should be careful not to make fatuous bids"

 

Saints have made a mark, big time, and no small thanks to Nicola Cortese.

But let's not forget Markus in all of this, it's his dream at the end of the day.

Get the **** in!!!!

I liked the one about FIFA sanctions for wasting other clubs time!

[pingwing]

4 season tickets for you

 

It'll be worth it! I am comfortable in my seat this season and now for the next 4....

the best page, IMO, is page 5

[StDunko]

I really didn't think this would happen, I was certain that Liverpool or Spuds would dive in at the last minute and snatch him away. Really hope he lives up to all the hype now and that we do actually have the financial backing to make signings like this in the first place.

 

COYR!

[aintforever]

He should be good backup for Puncheon.

[Faz]

So, by the time Lawro was saying "No Chance" he was, in fact, already signed. Ha de bloody ha.

[LGTL]

I have heard that this is serious. We have been in discussions with representatives on Gaston's side, and Bologna's side since Monday - Cortese was apparently in Italy at the start of the week where he met with them, and the parties have now traveled to England, along with Gaston.

 

A fee of around £12m is still being thrashed out, but we seem to be in the driving seat. Might be a load of twaddle, but I thought I'd share.

 

I didn't believe it at first as I thought he was too big a player to get here, but with what I've heard, what the Italian press people have said and a couple of other ''ITK'' people, I'm sure there is active interest to make this a real possibility.

 

It could well be that our driving to get Phillips done signals the end of the Gaston interest, but whatever, our interest seems to be/have been real.

 

Exciting.

 

Not bad mate!

[KelvinsRightGlove]

right...how do we tell Lawro about it lol

 

love it

 

Let's all plague dan walker on twitter, get him to mention it on football focus?

[Dalek2003]

This deal is a surprise. perhaps the club is really going for it this season. Seems I may be wrong on one or two things.

[SaintBobby]

Hat tip to the optimists.

 

Didn't see us completing this deal. An incredible coup. Hope it pays off.

 

Can he play on Sunday?

[manji]

What were the bedwetters (including the club historian) saying about Cortese being rubbish at sorting deals out?

[suewhistle]

Just in from footie training. Was a bit shattered but this has picked me up no end and I think a beer is called for.. or two.. or so.

Hopefully by the time I get back there'll be more good news.

For a change, eh?

[Thedelldays]

and it was agreed 10 days ago

:eek:

[supergoose]

Great, just really great!

Well done to NC and everyone else at SFC involved with sorting this deal.

Proud to be a Saint.

[saints triumph]

I was wrong thank ****. Welcome GASTON. My one and only post on this merry-go-round. HAPPY DAYS

[qwertySFC]

As I have said before ..... Just believe

[Gigersaint]

Bloody hell, been on this thread every night since it started quietly reading every post patiently waiting for confirmation that Ramirez has signed. When it finally did happen I fell asleep and missed it!

 

At least I have my evenings back now!

[wightman35]

Fabulous signing! I did not vote in the poll as I did not have a clue as to the likelihood of this signing, but lived in hope. Have spent more time than I should following this saga, but I cannot recall anything more exciting except possibly Keegan coming in from Hanover or Charlie Wayman from Newcastle when Football was in a different world.

 

...and as for Lawrenson? :lol::lol:

[carljack]

What a window! we sign a superstar and I have not seen Twitchy Redknapp being lauded all over the beeb and sky as he goes about securing last minute "deals" love it.

 

SAINT TILL I DIE!

[Delboy Dave]

Good news. I can now vote yes in the poll. Cheers Gaston!
