Saint Scott

“@Paul_Gilmour: @Appy0911 will do! Cheers. Excited by Ramirez?” “@Appy0911: @Paul_Gilmour When its confirmed I will be! Need another CB though.” “@Paul_Gilmour: @Appy0911 only a matter of time! you in today? Did the as-live come in ok?”

Hopefully in London with NC sorting out international clearence and get back in time for the press conference at 2.

Oh good. At least we'll get some exposure on SSN today then.

Does anyone know if their is a SSN van and reporter outside SMS or Staplewood? Haven't seen anything on SSN about us yet.

He's going to FC Twente.

There was already a thread for this and most agreed on; Ramirez whoaaaaa Ramirez whoaaaaa He comes from Uruguay He's not the racist guy!

“@SimonPeach:#SaintsFC press conference scheduled for 2pm tomorrow with Adkins, Lallana & Clyne. Should be interesting.”

Can we make this thread a sticky and change the title to; "Gaston Ramirez signed on Official Twitter Page." I'm fed up keep coming on here and just seeing "gaston Ramirez"

That is Gastons official twitter account and the fact he's retweeted the tweet which states @GastonRamirezOK has signed for Southampton makes it pretty clear he's signed.

Babel has mutually terminated his contact at hoffenheim. Worth a free if we can afford the wages.

It's 14:40 in Uruguay at the moment I can see this going on until at least 5pm their time.

This is a forum people will speculate and post info they found however fact or fictional it's is. People are excited for Christ sake. People like you moaning and trying to put everything on a downer is unhelpful and pointless. If you don't like the banter then don't read the thread, simple.

How fitting for Dan to post a twitter link after this post.

Well the media reported that their president set a deadline for today do would make sense. If saints were in that position I'd rather it went through today rather than tomorrow. Otherwise you panic buy and end up spending £35mil on a big lump with a pony tail.

Read the full post... My next sentence explains why I think that.

Let's put it this way. If he doesn't sign today he probably won't sign for us. They want the money ASAP so they can finalise the deals for their replacement players. They will want at least a day for that. D-day for Ramirez I feel.

Tom Coull ‏@TomCoull Got up. Put shirt on. Still had the hanger in. #NeedMoreZzzzz Retweeted by Jordan Sibley Late night last night I assume.

Will be good to complete the deals for those two. Hopefully we might change our mind and have a little flurry on deadline day.

I think he only cost city £11million too which you have to take with a pinch of salt considering how much they get mugged off transfer fee wise. Kid looks good though saw a few Serie A games last year on ESPN and he looked on another level to most other defenders.

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subcontinent#_ Yes you are right to say India/Pakistan but I can't recall a single player from either country featuring in the top division of English football so in a sense they don't really count much like Antarctica.

My thoughts exactly. I missed Skrtel off that list too. They just seem to breed world class defenders in that part of Europe and are sold for next to nothing.

Yes when you put it in terms of 7 continents but when you take sub continents into account it is in fact set apart from North America. Have a look at a geographical text book and it will tell you that.

It's a sub continent. Not one of the main ones as is Eurasia and Afro-Eurasia.

Completely agree. Would rather spend that on an eastern European (obviously through the scouting network) and pick up the next Vidic/Ivanovic we lack that commanding type of centre half.

Mexico is classed in the continent of Central America
