http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2381585/Newcastle-0-Sunderland-9-Free-spending-Paolo-Di-Canio-leaves-Toon-fans-feeling-like-poor-relations.html sunderland have signed the most players nine practically a new team, saints near the bottom at two I'm sure we will come good and pull a unexpected quality signing out the sleeve.

Admittedly not the best of footballers but he scored some vital goals for saints and definitely did his bit to put us on the path to where we are now so calling him that is a little disrespectful

Im going for this too, do you think his record is gash so far then?

Yes Barcelona are clearly a clone of saints in every single way

Apolgies man enough to admit when I've jumped the gun wish the article had filled me in properly. And to the poster below I don't hate Ramirez I said he was talented just not using it well so far

why would we want someone at the club who can't even be arsed to turn up for pre season training on time?

Gaston has plenty of talent and I look forward to being proved wrong and am happy to eat my own words should he do so but I've never seen anyone more lightweight on the ball simply faling over at the faintest of tackles or running straight into trouble and losing posession he makes Lallana look strong and gave the ball away more than any other player

Gary hooper is looking much the more likely signing according to reports and would be a less expensive gamble not saying he's in the same class but look how Ricky turnt out

I personally don't want us to be a big generic club that's only supported because its fashionable and successful ie man united Chelsea etc there's a certain credibility about supporting your local club to me teams like man united represent the very worst they are the Simon cowell of the football world and dominate the market!

Think we should lay this one to rest now, he isn't signing well not for us anyway

Looks imminent bar a u turn by the player......... which isn't unheard of

Wasn't he deemed fit to play the celtic pre season?

careful we all know the last player this lot on here said that about! that said he looks leagues ahead of ramirez in terms of strength on the ball so maybe he can supply the ball to ramirez so he doesn't have to do any of the silly over complicated showboating stuff and can concentrate on what hes good at maybe we will see a different player!

So you've made up your mind already then?

what exactly have you seen?

agreed although I don't doubt either players commitment they always give 100% just the skill isn't quite there

Yoshida although its clear jos as much as I like him is too slow and error prone as well, like someone said yoshi might be alright alongside lovren maybe even the Norwegian will get a game

A 12 million bid for a player they brought for 900k they have to be happy with that surely? Wether it's wise on our part I'm not sure. Looks like he's built like boruc looks fat but can't be

True! Personally I think it's a pipe dream why would he come here? But the same was said about gaston and he signed because "they are paying me a lot of money!"

I knew that but isn't it moderated by wiki for accuracy?

Why does it say saints is his current club on wiki? Wishful thinking I think!

Good backup player if we are honest probably not quite good enough for the level a premiership defender has to be these days

32, from Salisbury, first game was around the earliy 90's as a nipper with my dad, it was a loss to Leeds i remember that much. Normally in the kingsland stand as im too boring for the northam! (behave before anyone says and this forum! )

and what do you look like?.......... tom hardy i'm assuming

dejan.......hes the mustard
