Ramirezzz whoaaaaa Ramirezzz whoaaaaa He comes from Uruguay Hes not the racist guy May be jumping the gun, but I for one cannot wait to hear that echo around SMS.

I don't get it no deal with penerol, but now he's saying it's a 30% sell on clause? If that's true they don't have a say, right?

“@DL_corriere: Penarol 30% means that the club who sells ramirez pays 30% of its gain. Ok saints fans? ”

Whys that? Jarvis signed late Friday and played Saturday at 12.45.

If all these issues are resolved and he signs what is the chances of him getting a work permit in time for Sunday?

I thought a deal was already agreed with them and Bologna was the issue?

Wasnt sure if this has been posted. @pseudoxerox @TransferNewsCen: Gaston Ramirez will be in Rome today, to finalize his visa and immigration papers (Source: Sky Italia)

How reliable is this guy?

A player with his attributes has be playing in the middle pulling the strings. The hazard/silva roll is what he will do best. Lallana will have push back out wide and hopefully we bring in another flair winger with pace.

Game just finished, Chievo won 2-0. Hopefully he says something on the current situation. I imagine we'll see some tweets about it soon if he does.

Totally agree. The main question will be can he stay injury free? I suppose with a loan move you aren't risking as much.

J Cole---------Ramirez----------Lallana ------------J Rod/Lambert-------------- Is quite a mouth watering thought. Certainly would get the creativity, flair and pace we missed yesterday.

I'd like to see us take Joe Cole on, get him saints fit and he could thrive. Loan deal possible or cheap buy I would imagine. Doesn't seem to be getting a sniff at Liverpool, 17 year old sterling is starting ahead of him and second choice downing today.

That game really demonstrated our lack of flair and creative players coincided with our inability to play at different speeds. Lallana played well but you cant beat a PL team on your own. Chances like the one Fonte missed at 0-2 are unforgivable at this level and we were punished for not taking our chances today.

Pathetic display. Players are just walking around and look very sluggish. Need two centre backs in asap both not up to par at all, fonte trying 60 yard diagonal balls is just ridiculous.

Just found that too, not running very well.

The fact their chairman said he spoke with Cortese 2 days ago begs to differ.

In that way. Ie with him looking the bad guy.

Yes the picture proves nothing and really is of poor quality but as I have said before, i'm just passing on what i'm sent. The fact we have heard nothing since in regards to the media, saints or bologna makes me and I am sure everyone else unlikely to believe it.

I asked. He said he has finished his shift but his colleague took this earlier.

Thank you. Just to clear things up now I have spoken to the guy that initially contacted me re Ramirez and have a little more info. I received the call about half 1 from a friend of mine saying he was sure he'd seen Gaston coming through arrivals off of the 12.50 BA flight from Verona. He was supposedly with 3 other men in suits who were on the phone. According to my friend he was picked up by a car at roughly 2.30. That is all he knows and he has no access to any passenger details. As I said before I was passing on some minor info to forum users as I assume anyone else would in the same situation. Not once did I claim to be ITK or say it in a way to make it look like I was and was talking rubbish. I now understand why people that are potentially ITK like to keep their cards close to their chest as you immediatly get hounded accusing you of talking c**p.

Ok I won't post anymore potential news. I have not claimed to be ITK or any of that s**t! Just passed on some news I received if you don't like it don't read the thread. Knob.

We didn't go into details. As I say he is at work, he phoned me just stating he is pretty sure it was him and that he was with 3 other gents. I text him about 10 minutes after asking which flight it was and he text back Verona. That is all, I'll try and get some more info about it. I just thought it might be a change of pace if I posted some info i had received rather than people talk about nothing related to the deal on this thread.

Yes, it was the Verona flight.
