Christ we have some proper miserable people on this forum. How can you not be excited about signing someone as good as Ramirez. Yes we're short at the back but it sounds like we'll have 2 defenders in by the window anyway. Stop moaning and embrace the fact that we're able to attract players of Ramirez's ability.

Sounds like we're still looking for a LB seeing as though we have been linked with Buttner, Boilosen & Olsson.

Racist.

He's not very good.

Although I agree and we have been dealt some tough fixtures, I personally (along with others im sure) was thinking that we could carry the momentum from the last few seasons into the start of the season this year. Just don't want us to be cut away by October.

Or you're just not wanting to believe him. He's been right with Sharp, J-Rod, Clyne, Ramirez, Gazza, and Mayuka. No reason for him to lie, just loses him credability.

He's already said it's not Davies.

No, it's against the rules. Would have thought we'd either pay them off or they'll hold a 30% sell on clause.

Did Caulker play last night? He'd be a great signing.

Very solid. Don't think he'd fit into the way we play though. If we want to play like we do, we need CB's who are comfortable on the ball, Huth isn't

Wont be Upson.

Not Huth. Please no.

Didn't someone mention Shawcross a few weeks ago ? Not sure he would fit in the 'excellent' bracket though.

No, Nixon said it's not him. He said he's better than him.

Overated IMO.

Itchen_Dan has clearly been slacking !! Alan Nixon ‏@reluctantnicko @adkinsisourking Southampton watched a centre half last night. Good player. So u still have not made your minds up ... Alex Tait ‏@adkinsisourking @reluctantnicko Domestic player or another foreign unknown? Cheers for replies aswell Alan. Alan Nixon ‏@reluctantnicko @adkinsisourking Domestic. Excellent. Chris Hamerton ‏@ChrisHamerton @reluctantnicko @adkinsisourking The brum lad mentioned in the mirror tues? Alan Nixon ‏@reluctantnicko @ChrisHamerton @adkinsisourking No, I said an 'excellent' player ... MarkReeves ‏@markreeves999 @reluctantnicko @adkinsisourking oooo how excellent? And what sort of price? Alan Nixon ‏@reluctantnicko @markreeves999 @adkinsisourking 6 will be offered. May not be enough. Alex Tait ‏@adkinsisourking @reluctantnicko @markreeves999 Premier league player? Must've been Carling cup. Story in paper? Alan Nixon ‏@reluctantnicko @adkinsisourking @markreeves999 Aiming to do something in Mirror. See if it holds until then. Alan Nixon ‏@reluctantnicko @Jayrodfan2 @adkinsisourking @markreeves999 Mirror later. Finding out today what the chances are. Sounds promising....

Matter of time really has been for the last week IMO.

Noone even tweeted about this ?

Wasn't he the one who was given a lifetime contract last year or something ? Tiote, Cabaye, Ba, Cisse, Ben Arfa, Santon are all such bargains. Can't have paid much more than £20m for the lot !

They'll play 451. RVP up top with Kagawa in behind. Nani one side and Young the other probably or Valencia.

Will definitely add something we don't have at the moment and that is pace. Pace frightens defenders. Wouldn't be surprised to see one forward moved on before the weekend though. Possibly Sharp, though I hope not. All our players will play a part but going to be tough keeping them all happy. Sign Ramirez and 2 defenders and we have the squad to stay up.

Would expect Puncheon to start in Sunday after his goal tonight?

He's a Liverpool fan isn't he? He'll probably go there. Wouk rather he stayed at Arsenal though!

Sharp ?
