AVFCforever1991 Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 who's Gaston Ramirez? Big talent, plays for Bologna .. Played for Uruguay at the olympics, scored a stunning free kick. the type of player we should have been looking at. Spurs and Liverpool were interested.

Amo69 Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I think it's highly likely that Ramírez will flop in this league, especially at a team like Southampton. I wouldn't get too jealous. Why is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattyp_avfc Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 tbh Ramirez wont flop.... he's played at the top level in Serie A.... he's young and the lad can look after himself... he gets kicked to shreads in Serie A!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I think it's highly likely that Ramírez will flop in this league, especially at a team like Southampton. I wouldn't get too jealous. Why is it? Ok 'highly' is maybe a bit too far. I just think there's always a big risk attached to players like Ramírez. He hasn't had a huge amount of caps for Uruguay, he has only had two seasons in Italian football. Also, the Italian league isn't exactly strong any more. So he's hardly a top, proven player. There's no guarantee that he'll do well, Southampton know that they've taken a big gamble given the money spent on him. It's certainly not a signing that I'm looking at and thinking 'I wish' that was us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 QPR close to signing Bosingwa. Their wage bill must be through the roof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaAlex Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 How have so many people saw Ramirez a player who plays for Bologna who are barely ever televised and a player who rarely starts for Uruguay (who I follow). He's not good enough to start for Tottenham/Liverpool and although its a coup for Southampton there is no guarantee he will succeed. He's very lightweight and and gets kicked about enough in Serie A it seems, let alone in England. From what I've seen of him for Uruguay and the odd game for Bologna he's not even half the player someone like Suarez is and for £12m you can get better players. Fair play to Southampton though, an ambitious but risky move, something we can't really afford (not that they can either). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted August 17, 2012 Moderator Share Posted August 17, 2012 Southampton signing Ramirez. That club is fur coat no knickers. They need to balance better. It reminds me of Middlesbrough having Juninho in the same side as Phil Stamp; and they went down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Ramirez could go like Viana, Anderson, Postiga even Lucas(was a brilliant playmaker before being moved back) as a top young talent who arived in Premier LEague too early. His stats of 8 goals and 4 assists last season isnt that impressive if he tore up Serie A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Yep, could well be yet another South American hype-job that will look out of his depth in a proper league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
