Will be sad to see him go. Never let us down, scored our first goal against Leeds on the first day of last season. Set the tone for the following 45-and-a-half matches.

13 hours for all involved parties to extract their thumbs from their arses....

I thought he signed yesterday and this was done-and-dusted ?

Not good to join a new club and immediately be in breach of contract....

Well, depending on how you view the exchange rate, the Ramirez fee has moved us up to 5th place.

Lawrenson is a c**t. That dismissal is a punchable offence.

Aw, come on you Dalek bashers. He's simply saying he's waiting for the OS to believe. Whatever we may think, its the safest way and has served us well for the past 2 or 3 years.

Wow, this is the first time I have been the focus of that pedant MLG getting on his high horse - its a very strange experience. I've admitted I am not a head trauma expert. I also agree that the nature of the injury isnt in the public domain. But the poor sod was on a life support machine with a "serious head injury" and he is in a profession where is head is going to take some pretty high kinetic energy impacts. Not just from a ball, there is always a risk of clashing heads. My intuition tells me that having had such an injury and with so little still known about the brain and head trauma, that going back into professional football is a bad idea that could end in tears. Marc Vivien Foe is one example of someone considered 100% fit suddenly dropping dead on the pitch, a feat Fabrice Muamba nearly repeated. Up until then both were considered to have perfectly normal functioning hearts. Once more, my gut feeling tells me Seaborne back in professional football is just so wrong...

Sounds good to me...

Twice, actually.

Does seem to be some momentum behind this now, I admit.

Huh ?

I have my doubts this will go through. But there is still 24hrs left.

He's signed when SFC say so, in my opinion.

I still reckon this wont happen.

I dont know why any Saints fan lets Lawrenson get to them. He's always had it in for us. Even back when we were in the Div1/PL before, he would predict us to be relegated every season. I must admit to being curious as to which issue has caused him to doubt our non-team management/ownership though.

Reckon 3 for Yoshida, 10 being kept for Ramirez, 15 first available number for Mayuka ?

14.3m quid. Ouch.

Thats a good question. Intuition, different perceptions of the positions/roles, likely difference in nationalities. I am not sure S. Americans have a good record of adapting to the English game, and our club in particular.

Would still like to see a LB or another CB. Reckon GK isnt going to happen. Anyones guess if Ramirez will happen on time. Reckon thats about it. Maybe one more.

What strange metaphors. Sorry, but I would rather we had a strong defence that a superstar who may or may not live up to expectations.

wtf ????

Yes, but another would be nice. If I had to choose between closing a second CB or Ramirez completing, I'd go for the CB to be honest.
