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.

I think there is one short statement needed on this thread. Thank you Markus Liebherr. Gutted he's not here to see it.

Believe that's it. A great window.

It's so irritating. We've just made one of the most amazing transfers in years. A promoted club signing one of the most sought after players in world football. But they're more interested in talking about Richard Wright joining Man City, weird... never mind, we know what we have here - a huge statement, a huge signing and someone that will create a domino effect on this club and city. Sit back and enjoy it.

Ah good, Sky are back on the Fulham - Liverpool transfers, and Man City.

and so much for the ''can't keep anything silent'' brigade! we clearly can...

obviously a windup!

Nice to see Sky give us a passing mention, now they're back onto QPR and Spurs.

Exciting times Overall, he played for the Rossoblù on 60 occasions, finding the back of the net 15 times.

The epic thread reaches an epic conclusion. Thank you SFC for waiting until I'd come home from work.

Nah, helpmerhonda has.

My F5 key is broken.

lol if this is not Gaston.

TBF at the time they were 2 top players from the Championship. Both really, really highly rated. Didn't quite work out as well as we'd all hoped though.

Oh good, we're at Stoke again!!!!!! Breaking news - Tony Pulis has left the training ground. Excellent
