Fair play Lineker

He's not, but you are.

But if he'd signed for Spurs or L'Pool they'd be lapping it up. Moaning about the price is lazy. Matt Jarvis for 11m. Or Ramirez for 11-12m? Err, exactly.

...

No where near PL quality. Hence why he doesn't play there.

Bevis added the no more then bit.

Broken our transfer record, twice, in one window. Impressive.

For a change, eh?

At least we potentially make double on him in 6 months. We signed him for around 1.6m. But I'm also a little sad, a great fella. A proper footballer who is hungry for goals. Will always remember his goals against the Skates! But the reality is our sights are set very high, and he's not really going to be at the level we're aspiring to be at.

Out injured for 7 months.

the best page, IMO, is page 5

But let's not forget Markus in all of this, it's his dream at the end of the day.

15...and 17? off the top of my head.

He is seen as a key player for us this season. Give him time.

That's happening.

There's no smoke.

Another classic thread.

At least it's just a loan. Good move for all I think. Kind of suggests, possibly, that we may be after another attacking player.

Been out of the loop all PM, where/how did he reference a winger? I'm lead to believe that's that. Great window.

talian football expert James Horncastle on Southampton signing Gaston Ramirez: "Negotiations have been complicated on account of the number of parties said to be claiming a stake in the player and the reported entitlement of former club Peñarol to a percentage of the transfer fee. "Everything has now been resolved. It's a considerable coup for Southampton considering Liverpool and Manchester City were said to be interested at one stage, as were Juventus and Inter Milan. The 21-year-old Uruguay international is a winger capable of playing behind the strikers. He lacks consistency, sure, but there's absolutely no doubting his potential. On some days his dribbling and other creative talents are worth the ticket price alone."

Up to £6m

If you could get hold of his official twitter, we will infest it.

Don't think we will see Phillips arriving.

As we said all along. This was never really in danger, it was all tosh from the Italian end.

Alpine will pop on later saying that he was conveniently at a prior engagement. His appearance will coincide with the transfer window closing, and us not signing a 2nd CB.
