Fontas loaned out to Malaga after they qualified for the champions league. Biglia staying as Anderlecht can afford to keep him after also qualify for the champions league. I expect the only target we will have is either Curtis Davies or the Ajax defender who does not want to move. Going out? I expect Hammond for a loan spell, Chaplow a transfer alongside De Ridder. Rickie aint going NO WHERE.....!!!

Knowing our luck Ramirez will get knocked down by a stray aeroplane.

Ha ha very true.

Do I picture Cortese holding a gun to someone's head saying 'Sign it'

Get rich and do the opposite he says, he won me £300 last week as he said Saints would win 2 nil.

So I speculate that this is what's going to happen. Raminez is now making his way to the airport with Saints officials holding his registration form signed off by Bologna. In the mean time it will be all over Italian papers that he's on his way to Saints. He arrives at St Mary's about 9 tonight and then Jordan Sibley & co will prepare notes & photo's for the OS bit around 11 tonight. Perhaps Cortese will delay it until Friday afternoon once the players training is out the way and the worlds press have the chance to get down St Mary's? I predict 2-30 Friday afternoon it's confirmed.

I really don't think it did?

Page 128? Is this the biggest thread ever on the main Saints forum now?

A very good keeper takes so much pressure off the defence, perhaps we should of gone all out to get one instead of chasing Raminez? Just my thoughts.

If Raminez never spouted off we would not of known how difficult it was to capture a player from another club. Very often fans on forums talk about why it takes so long etc..... For all we know the club could possibly have another deal lined up for a CB/LB which is also as difficult as the Raminez one, perhaps it's time to give those that are setting up the deals more credit in future?

Yes I agree change it..... Sent from my big **** off yacht in Port Banus

I did pop down there recently and they don't have proper trees at the moment so I had to do the crawl in grass cuttings, ****ing stunk. Cant wait for the team to move into the main arena when it's all built as I heard they have special trees for ****s like me. :-)

That rules out Andy Carroll then.

Got out of bed too early, clearly not a problem correct! Cortese would pay wages of 100k + if he felt the player was right for us. Van Persie would be a great example if we was on the brink of champion league football. Our time will come at this rate. Back to subject - Raminez to sign at 2 with a full press exposure IMHO.

Problem is Cortese will not pay anyone silly wages & that's why we got Raminez because he will settle for 45k a week, cant see him paying 100k+ to the greedy has beens in the EPL. Bebatov Walcott Johnson to name a few.

I reckon I've spent a total of 2 hours on this thread and that's with a weeks holiday where I had no access, I bet some of you have done 10 hours plus?

Maybe this was an opportunity to let some clubs see our 2nd string who are available for transfers. They have 3 days to get their bids in now.

Saints ram eight past Liverpool at Anfield.

Probably true but 25 goals and 45 million pounds later he may want to leave in 2 years. We could do a swap deal with some Arsenal players.

I saw him training once, not sure he is what we need as Messi went past him like he was not there.

The reason why I mentioned him is because he has not really added anything that we all know, he just confirmed that the staff have met him & he did stay in Lyndhurst. If its a big problem then a mod can delete the last page then.

I don't blame the guy as he just wants to play football, a strange decision by Adkins so far. I personally would swing Lallana back in left midfield and put J Rod in behind a front two.

Championship football or Premiership with a 750k sign on fee & 15k more in wages a week? No brainer on this one I'm afraid.

The latest I have on the Raminez is he has met the staff and did stay in Lyndhurst for a while and is currently waiting for Saints to sort out the deal with his club. We are holding tight as Bologna has to sell up and they are waiting desperately for someone else to come in or take our offer before the deadline.

If he walked past me I would not have a clue it would be him, do people believe he walks around in a shirt that has his name and number on the back?
