Well you could call it a 451, 433 or 4141. Changes depending if we have possession or not.

Which club's in England do you think a) would want him b) would have a vacancy c) he would want to leave for? The number of teams is shrinking all the time, especially as it looks like he has a big budget at Saints and a very ambitious chairman investing in the academy, training ground and in the long term the stadium. Man Utd, Man City, Arsenal, Tottenham, Chelsea, Liverpool are all more attractive, but would the likes of Newcastle, Aston Villa, Everton, Sunderland, West Ham, Fulham etc etc offer more than he can get at Saints?

Why? We came within 1 point of winning it, so hardly an unrealistic. I very much doubt he is overly bothered about not winning the league anyway, promotion was the key goal.

We're more likely to play the formation we have been using in the friendlies... Lallana and Davis in central midfield, Schneiderlin as the holding midfielder with Rodriguez on the left and Guly or Puncheon on the right.

I'm going to blame Jeff Stelling for that, he said it was Carlisle on Tuesday.

Time to loan Rickie Lambert to Colchester United on Monday, ready for Tuesday's game...

Man City played 19 home Premier League games last season - winning 18, drawing 1, losing 0.

Paulo Gazzaniga Cortese has these things planned out long in advance, signed a similar aged Spanish speaking South American, got him settled in England and now bids for Ramierez with Gazzaniga ready to help him settle in. Cortese is one step ahead of everyone!

Jason Puncheon is clearly a big Douglas Adams fan.

3 may be free because Fox might like his number 13 form last season. Adkins stated he was happy with Fox and Shaw as left backs in the press conference. Plus Clyne can also play on the left if needed.

10 kept free for Gaston Ramirez...

I agree, but if all fit he is likely to be behind Lallana, Schneiderlin and Davis for a starting spot in central midfield. Cork should still get a good amount of gametime though this season.

That only makes sense if you are currently selling out Fratton Park, you even struggled to do that in the Premier League. Pompey didn't sell out in their Premier League relegation season and some games had attendances of 14,000 home fans, Southampton averaged over 30,000 in their relegation season from the Premier League.

I doubt he would start for us even if fit. Midfield three in new formation will be Schneiderlin as holding midfielder with Davis and Lallana in front, with two wide players and one central striker.

There are direct quotes from the player saying... "It's the classic offer you can not refuse. I have 4 years of contract figures important. They give me so much money that I put in my life and the whole family." Sounds like personal terms already sorted to me.

Or he went on a family holiday with his wife and children in the school holidays. Now he is back and it's business time! [video=youtube;-GpTTf175aE] And Cortese means BUSINESS!

Correct.

I don't think THEVMAN works for Saints, doesn't he just know Lallana?

His loan ended and he went back to Spurs. Paulo Gazzaniga is a Spanish speaking, South American and only a year younger.

Biggest signing the club has made in 32 years since signing reigning European Footballer of the year Kevin Keegan and he still can't be happy!

Three cheers for Ramirez! [video=youtube;UpWUaRtZ-JU]

A little less crazy as it is about £15.7m.

Sets it up perfectly for HMRC's revenge after being screwed for £40+ million by the business.

They messed up season ticket payments big time this summer.
