This, and they should welcome quality additions. This kind of stuff clearly gets talked about amonst the players - they must be buzzing about it.
-
He is obviously flying over today, would need a medical and then hopefully can sign later today. Work permit will be requested - hopefully come through in time for Wigan but who knows? Just really want to get this one wrapped up ASAP - its not done until its on the OS with quotes from Executive Chariman Nicola Cortese.

Ramirez is left footed an prefers playing advanced in the centre (ie where Lallana has been playing so far) or out on the right where he can cut inside. Don't think he has blistering pace (hopefully Phillips will provide that) but has effortless technique and drifts past players.

I know we have had some disagreements on here and I was hardly expecting transfers like this but fair play to you for admitting your concerns might be wrong. Hopefully we can get this deal over the line and then look forward to an exciting season.

Wonder if we would have another South American or Spanish player lined up to help Ramirez settle? -
Hopefully we can just get it over the line ASAP. Assume he will require a work permit too and that always takes ages.

Thats a bit heavy. It was a crass comment to generalise the behaviour of a nation on one person but I don't think it was racism.
-
Probably a sell on clause or something. Would hope now its out in the open that it is fairly well down the line and nobody else can step in.
-
Can only credit Cortese is this comes off. Great deal for a club like Saints.

In that case FFS Cortese, should have focused on more realistic targets...we missed out on Brian Howard whilst chasing Ramirez. -

For the last time....Agent ITK is a WUM and in no way ITK. -

Source? -
If this happens...wow. Even if he just uses us a stepping stone it would be a class signing.

Phillips is much more suited to our system, plus has the pace we crave more than Jarvis. -
That would be pretty awesome!

No way that Jarvis is worth 9m or anywhere near it. -
All in all Phillips is the almost perfect winger for our system and giving us that pace which we lack. He has also added goals in the last year or so. Plus he is still very young and has potential for further improvement. At the start of the summer, everyone on here would have been happy to sign him.

Oh Sunderland, getting desparate, Saha is passed it! -
Phillips the ideal signing for us despite what some might say. One of those you hate plahing against because of the pace and directness.

Like Clyne? Davis? -
Clearly Clyne. Should start most games.

I think everyone knows. As above, be patient, wait til end of window and assess then. That plus Im not sure what you really expected as I think our three main signings are good. When you posted a list of players you felt we should target instead it was largely ripped to shreds. Be patient a couple more weeks and if we still havent further improved the squad I will agree it was a poor summer. -

It also shows that loads of business is done late in the window and there is no point comparing other clubs business to ours until that point when the window shuts! -

That in comparison to other clubs we are doing ok and there isnt a major problem as you suggest. -
Decent Championship lineup that.
