martin_au Posted 25 October, 2015 Posted 25 October, 2015 Contributed an assist this evening. Thoughts?
plod Posted 25 October, 2015 Posted 25 October, 2015 Nearly a second assist, but for Pelle kicking thin air :-(
Suhari Posted 25 October, 2015 Posted 25 October, 2015 Looked good today. Strong header for the assist. Showed skill, strength, guile and commitment for the run and pass for Pelle. I was impressed with him today. Needs to start against Villa midweek.
jimmysaint7 Posted 25 October, 2015 Posted 25 October, 2015 Contributed an assist this evening. Thoughts? Obviously mane couldnt leave it but i think if he did its gastons goal anyway
Lighthouse Posted 25 October, 2015 Posted 25 October, 2015 Looked decent today, provided a good outlet late on. Trouble is these performances are too sporadic and are punctuated by mysterious injuries.
Unbelievable Jeff Posted 25 October, 2015 Posted 25 October, 2015 Looked decent today, provided a good outlet late on. Trouble is these performances are too sporadic and are punctuated by mysterious injuries. This. I'm always a Ramirez apologist but he yes something to give the team.
pimpin4rizeal Posted 25 October, 2015 Posted 25 October, 2015 I think he's great have never understood how he's been made a outcast, like suhari says he has real guile which we lack at times .looks a million times better then Juanmi and jayrod off the bench
westmidlandsaint Posted 25 October, 2015 Posted 25 October, 2015 I would like to see him start v Villa
Mr Biscuits Posted 25 October, 2015 Posted 25 October, 2015 How long until he is next due an injury? He played well today and deserves the plaudits for his performance. However he needs to be doing that week in week out, not just on the odd occasion
pimpin4rizeal Posted 25 October, 2015 Posted 25 October, 2015 Fair play Gaston. Now build on it. Think it's more about will he get the chance to build on it? What's that two appearances this season? And has created goals in both games. No one can say he's not producing this time.
Mr X Posted 25 October, 2015 Posted 25 October, 2015 I would like to see him start v Villa He did well today but shouldn't start as he goes missing for long periods, he is better as an impact sub
Saints foreva Posted 25 October, 2015 Posted 25 October, 2015 Think it's more about will he get the chance to build on it? What's that two appearances this season? And has created goals in both games. No one can say he's not producing this time. There's a difference between creating a goal against MK Dons to put us 5 or 6 up to creating the goal that gets us a point in the Premier League. I think Koeman will give him reasonable game time on Wednesday.
Lord Duckhunter Posted 25 October, 2015 Posted 25 October, 2015 Oh God , we're now going to add the "Liverpool assist " to " the villa game " . Give him a new contract " he clearly has talent" .
jb4life Posted 25 October, 2015 Posted 25 October, 2015 Never lost the ball, set up the goal, ran the length of the pitch to set up Pelle. Perfect opp to start him v Villa now Mane is suspended.
tedmaul Posted 25 October, 2015 Posted 25 October, 2015 Oh God , we're now going to add the "Liverpool assist " to " the villa game " . Give him a new contract " he clearly has talent" . He clearly has talent and created a goal today?
Mowgli Posted 25 October, 2015 Posted 25 October, 2015 How long until he is next due an injury? He played well today and deserves the plaudits for his performance. However he needs to be doing that week in week out, not just on the odd occasion No **** Sherlock . He is only able to do that when selected. In truth he has not had the best of times here. Injuries have plagued him but this year I will remember him for being first up for ore season training, a good display against Ajax I. The closed door friendly and an impressive performance today. Despite all his well documented problems you rarely see him without a smile on his face.
The9 Posted 25 October, 2015 Posted 25 October, 2015 Did well to take his chance, which he only got due to injury to Long and Rodriguez, but I think we're more likely to start with Juanmi than Ramirez in the hole on Wednesday. Made me laugh when the commentator said he'd been out for a long time with injury. Er, not this season he hasn't.
tedmaul Posted 25 October, 2015 Posted 25 October, 2015 Never lost the ball, set up the goal, ran the length of the pitch to set up Pelle. Perfect opp to start him v Villa now Mane is suspended. This, and i'm sure Koeman is thinking the same
norwaysaint Posted 25 October, 2015 Posted 25 October, 2015 Ramirez looked like just what we needed today, far better than Juanmi or JWP. That's just typically annoying of him.
egg Posted 25 October, 2015 Posted 25 October, 2015 Ramirez looked like just what we needed today, far better than Juanmi or JWP. That's just typically annoying of him. Agreed. Juanmi hasn't shown anything so far. Gaston looked good today, especially his run and pass for the Pelle air kick .
Saint Charlie Posted 25 October, 2015 Posted 25 October, 2015 Koeman pretty clear on Gaston post match, nothing has really changed. Along the lines of: - his situation is the same, he is in the final year of his contract - we have some injuries so he got a chance
benjii Posted 25 October, 2015 Posted 25 October, 2015 Cracking jump for the assist header. Good lad. Should get a chance on Weds with Mane out and Long and Jay Rod seemingly injured.
david in sweden Posted 25 October, 2015 Posted 25 October, 2015 Koeman pretty clear on Gaston post match, nothing has really changed. Along the lines of: - his situation is the same, he is in the final year of his contract - we have some injuries so he got a chance should get 30-45 mins v.Villa. As we're paying him so much - get what we can out of him, and it might strengthen our hand when we sell him to Italy in January.
Convict Colony Posted 25 October, 2015 Posted 25 October, 2015 Just got on here but assume alps is MIA
Saint Garrett Posted 25 October, 2015 Posted 25 October, 2015 He's a good player, he looked decent before we shipped him off to Hull last season in his sub apps. A really good squad player for us to have, and has a lot to give. Hopefully he gets a start on Wednesday.
Colinjb Posted 25 October, 2015 Posted 25 October, 2015 Great to see him have a positive contribution. More please.

Nothing may have changed but it doesn't take away from today's contribution. Sounds like the bridges are well and truly burnt.
Colinjb Posted 25 October, 2015 Posted 25 October, 2015 Funny comments. Nothing may have changed but it doesn't take away from today's contribution. Sounds like the bridges are well and truly burnt. More sounded to me like he wants to keep his mind sharp and focused. Earn his place further, take nothing for granted.
Saint Charlie Posted 25 October, 2015 Posted 25 October, 2015 Funny comments. Nothing may have changed but it doesn't take away from today's contribution. Sounds like the bridges are well and truly burnt. I think so. He is obviously available to anyone who wants him in Jan.
Saint_Tony Posted 25 October, 2015 Posted 25 October, 2015 He's been a disaster to date but fair play to him today, he's obviously still grafting away and took his chance today Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk
fanimal Posted 25 October, 2015 Posted 25 October, 2015 How many south americans have we had who seem to play well when they need a new contract??
VectisSaint Posted 25 October, 2015 Posted 25 October, 2015 How many south americans have we had who seem to play well when they need a new contract?? Was Saganowski South American?
notnowcato Posted 25 October, 2015 Posted 25 October, 2015 How many south americans have we had who seem to play well when they need a new contract?? I can't think of any to support your prejudiced view, sorry.
VectisSaint Posted 25 October, 2015 Posted 25 October, 2015 Koeman pretty clear on Gaston post match, nothing has really changed. Along the lines of: - his situation is the same, he is in the final year of his contract - we have some injuries so he got a chance I assume that there was more than one Koeman post match interview. The one on the OS is very different to what you wrote: "Gaston is working hard, he is part of the team and of course he was not the first option in front but OK he is working hard, he's trying to take his opportunity, with some injuries to players like Shane Long and Jay Rodriguez he's knocking on the door, then I give Gaston that opportunity". No mention of his contract by Ronald (only by the interviewer in his question). Ronald sounded and looked quite positive. Different perspective.
Saint Charlie Posted 25 October, 2015 Posted 25 October, 2015 Yeah on Solent he mentioned the contract and downplayed Ramirez somewhat.
Viking Saint Posted 25 October, 2015 Posted 25 October, 2015 Funny comments. Nothing may have changed but it doesn't take away from today's contribution. Sounds like the bridges are well and truly burnt. Not sure how the bridges have been burnt....he's been injured and had extended periods out but cant see what he's done to burn bridges with the club...has he caused us any problems/difficulties/dressing room unrest??
scotty Posted 25 October, 2015 Posted 25 October, 2015 Not sure how the bridges have been burnt....he's been injured and had extended periods out but cant see what he's done to burn bridges with the club...has he caused us any problems/difficulties/dressing room unrest?? I don't think he can be faulted for lack of effort or commitment when he's been played. And I'd have thought any attitude problems would have been aired, the osvaldo ones certainly did.
ART Posted 26 October, 2015 Posted 26 October, 2015 Gaston is 23 years old, one year older than Lloyd Isgrove, a player we apparently have hopes for the future. To write him off is sheer madness, especially considering what we paid for him. No way should he be sidelined. He can contribute much to the team. A lot more than one or two who are just a waste of space.
HKsaint Posted 26 October, 2015 Posted 26 October, 2015 He fights for his own. Hopefully, his good displays can earn us a few million in Jan transfer window and him a good contract from a decent club (Italian?) or we will have nothing in summer. No doubt neither sides will be interested in a new contract given his high wage and a club will come and take him for free in summer.
Cosmic Posted 26 October, 2015 Posted 26 October, 2015 Gaston is 23 years old, one year older than Lloyd Isgrove, a player we apparently have hopes for the future. To write him off is sheer madness, especially considering what we paid for him. No way should he be sidelined. He can contribute much to the team. A lot more than one or two who are just a waste of space. According to Wikipedia he's actually about to turn 25. But I take your point. I was pleasantly surprised by his willingness to get stuck in to a few physical and aerial challenges yesterday. Must be worth playing him against Villa.
Andy Durman Posted 26 October, 2015 Posted 26 October, 2015 Gaston will walk away on a free transfer and will probably become an exceptional player. One swallow doesn't make a summer! Consistency is the key in the Premier league. I think he is strong enough now.
Minsk Posted 26 October, 2015 Posted 26 October, 2015 More than any other player yesterday, I was desperately hoping he was going to hit a last minute 25 yard screamer, into the top corner, to win the match. It would be nice to see him given a start on Wednesday, and a chance to stake a claim in the match day squad if not the first 11.
angelman Posted 26 October, 2015 Posted 26 October, 2015 Gaston will walk away on a free transfer and will probably become an exceptional player. Probably, but not in the PL. Some players aren't suited for it, and he seems to be one of those. One swallow doesn't make a summer! Would make my year! Consistency is the key in the Premier league. I think he is strong enough now. His strength did seem to be a problem but why has, if you are right, taken him this long to become strong enough. Most players when they arrive and find that they are being knocked off the ball far too easily, undertake a regime to bulk themselves up as a matter of urgency.
Saint Charlie Posted 26 October, 2015 Posted 26 October, 2015 Worth remembering Ramirez is on 60k per week. Probably a fair bit more than Mane, Pelle, Tadic, Wanyama, Van Dijk, Bertrand etc. Possibly the highest paid of the whole squad. Thats probably why there is frustration within the club, he was meant to turn out to be a fringe player. Talent is unquestionable, but he hasn't showed it enough. Thats also unquestionable.
ant Posted 26 October, 2015 Posted 26 October, 2015 If Gaston was on a more representative wage packet I'd say we might as well stick a 2-year extension under his nose rather than let him walk for a pittance. When he applies himself he clearly has more to offer. As it is, that sadly seems like a huge gamble. Though if him playing for a contract leads to contributions like yesterday, it can only be good for us.
Donatello Posted 26 October, 2015 Posted 26 October, 2015 If Gaston was on a more representative wage packet I'd say we might as well stick a 2-year extension under his nose rather than let him walk for a pittance. When he applies himself he clearly has more to offer. As it is, that sadly seems like a huge gamble. Though if him playing for a contract leads to contributions like yesterday, it can only be good for us. As good as his 10 minute cameo was, I sincerely hope he isn't offered a new contract on terms which are even remotely comparable with his current terms (which he won't be), and as such, I wouldn't expect him to sign an extension. Too much of a gamble, as you say.
Lord Duckhunter Posted 26 October, 2015 Posted 26 October, 2015 **** me, he won one header and passed the ball to Pelle. I doubt he registered with any neutral. What is it with this guy , he does OK when chucked on in desperation of a point and all of a sudden he's " clearly got talent" again . Shane long makes more impact off the bench every time he comes on and he'd also would have won that header. Shane smacked one in against the world champs off the bench , Gaston took advantage if some poor defending and won a header. Forget giving him a chance against villa , he's had quite enough chances. Let's give Juanmi a go, he maybe one for the future, we know Gastons not. He's a monumental waste of money and nothing I saw yesterday changes that fact.
