Saint Scott

On to page 36. I remember someone saying he'd sign on page 36. Must be a sign.

Slightly worrying or good that everything has been very quiet today?

Sky Sports are linking us with Biglia, imagine its him.

And the "where were you when you were ****" garbage Why do these medium sized, mid table teams sing ****e like that? Cheers.

I was expecting to see a post talking about Fox's performance. If you think Guly was poor then your a complete tool. He showed great work ethic considering he was isolated most of the game. I thought his hold up play was great.

Silva took it?

Clyne for me. Looked assured and was very neat and tidy with his play. Did a very good job against silva and co. tried to link up with Puncheon but he was really poor. The last 10 minutes wasn't scared to drive on to force an equaliser and looks a fantastic signing for us. Get Ramirez and we are laughing! Fantastic debut!

Very proud to be a saints fan but Adkins seriously needs to look at Fox and Kelvins displays. Both utterly terrible. Clyne, Guly and Lallana were fantastic. Bring on Wigan!

Any news if he is in the squad for their cup game this evening?

Barney scores!!

Missed out on Michu for £2million!!

16th. Get Ramirez, Phillips and a CB or too and I'll up it to 14th.

The worst part was when he asked who we had signed and didnt seem to recognise Nathaniel Clyne or Steven Davis' name.

Have already moved on from transfers to the club, atmosphere and optimism of the new season.

He doesnt sound too hopeful. Guys on talksport claiming could be a smokescreen.

Just a reminder Simon Peach ‏@SimonPeach Becoming a bit of a @talkSPORT regular at the moment. Going on to talk Gastón Ramírez to #SaintsFC at 11:45pm. Might be worth a listen.

Been trying to translate some information on Bologna's forum to see their interpretation on the deal. It is very long winded, but here is the opening post. http://bolognanelcuore.freeforumzone.leonardo.it/cartella.aspx?idc=700435

Simon Peach ‏@SimonPeach Lots of Ramirez questions. I honestly don't know what to make of Bologna's statements. It could be another Büttner, it could be nothing.

How did he lose the shot power challenge!?

They've now got a clip on SSN of Adkins interview. A bit more information compared to the audio clip earlier. You can tell we are in talks but he was acting very defensively and didn't let much slip. He also defended bologna in a way by saying we like to do things privately and Ramirez shouldn't of made any comments until he's signed on the dotted line.

Why the reports earlier then that Penarol were not happy with the fee but Bolonga were. If it was just a sell on clause they would not have a say and would get what their given.

Translation Im not quite sure where it got the valuations?

Quite a few people posting this link on twitter. They seem to think Penarol will keep the 30% stake in Ramirez with us owning 70%. Is that even allowed in England? http://www.campeonatoitaliano.com/blog/gaston-ramires-deixara-de-usar-a-camisa-10-do-bologna-e-ira-jogar-no-futebol-ingles/ Translation:

If they want €20mil then we should just pay it! The guy is an incredible talent. We'd be paying £15.7mil, not a huge amount more really.

He seemed fairly optimistic on Phillips too.
