Southampton complete the record signing of Bologna playmaker Gaston Ramirez

Gaston Ramirez Gaston Ramirez

Saints have finally completed the club record signing of Bologna playmaker Gaston Ramirez.

The 21-year-old forward has agreed a four-year contract at St Mary’s, joining for a fee thought to be about £12m.

The deal for the Uruguay international smashes the previous record of £7m that Saints paid for Burnley striker Jay Rodriguez earlier this summer.

The transfer was a complicated and troublesome one that ended up going right down to the wire, with the club even requiring a successful work permit appeal.

Despite Ramirez having agreed to the terms offered to him by Saints two weeks ago, the club struggled to settle on an appropriate fee and payment structure with Bologna.

The matter was complicated further as Ramirez’s former club, Penarol, owned 30 per cent of his registration, meaning negotiations had to be conducted with them too.

The move turned into a protracted on-off saga, but all the differences were finally settled this week, with the formalities being wrapped up today.

Ramirez certainly represents one of the most exciting signings the club has made.

The 21-year-old arrives with a big reputation, which was enhanced as he starred for Uruguay in the Olympic Games this summer.

Ramirez started his career at Penarol, in Uruguay, but was snapped up by Bologna two years ago for €2.5m.

He went on to score 12 goals in 58 appearances for the Serie A side and won nine caps for Uruguay.

Thanks Tom, I am slightly concerned we are lacking depth especially at the back - guess NA is relying on youth as back up

Defence is still abit of a worry, but with our new attacking options I think we will be playing lots of exciting football with our attacking options swapping positions often and creating problems for any opposition.

Fantastic signing but still concerned about the wage structure problems this may cause. Please sign another defender tonight. Arsenal will not have a clue on our team selection next week but i think Utd wont have a problem on sunday. Unless they are wearing Grey.

I think the majority of posters on here didn't want big wage signings of journeymen and mercenaries. We have youth, hunger, talent and have scouted players who will play for the shirt. The players and contracts this week refelect signings from the last couple of seasons and fit with the plan. If memory serves Lee and Sharp were signed in January and fitness and injury contributed to it not working (although we won promotion of course) and at that point I doubt these kind of funds were available.

Possibly the best transfer window ever. Now we can play some really positive stuff from any angle, plus these new boys (Mayuka, Ramirez, Yoshida) will not be phased by this leagues reputations. No fear, Saints are on the up and up 0:)

Well done Nicola Cortese,he apparently is the man that has trouble negotiating contracts !!!!! NOT.
This signing not only raises our profile as a club but is a massive statement of intent.
Ooh Nigel Adkins you lucky man.
We now have pace,another midfield wizard,the other being lallana,and have gone some way to addressing the defensive problems.
All in all a very productive transfer window.
And its not over yet........

TREVOR Birch has given the two rivals to take over Pompey two more weeks because he says neither of them are ready.

This evening the administrator and PKF partner issued a statement saying his firm will work with the two groups while they finalise their offers.

Mr Birch said: ‘We have held detailed discussions with both Portpin and the Pompey Supporters’ Trust over the past week.

‘As neither party is currently in a position to complete a deal we have been unable to make an informed decision as to which offer is in the best interests of creditors.

‘We have therefore decided to give both parties two weeks to finalise terms to acquire Portsmouth Football Club.

‘We will now work with Portpin and the Trust as they finalise their plans and seek to satisfy the Football League and the Professional Footballers’ Association of their respective abilities to sustain the club in the future.

‘We will also use this opportunity to request a review of the points deduction that is being held in abeyance on the club by the Football League.’

I just do not get it South Americans do not have a good record in the UK and we desperately need defenders. maybe Marcus did leave us £40mil in his will but we seem to be wasting it sorry to be so negative... I thought 7 mil on second rate championship striker was weird but this takes the biscuit. I so hope I am wrong and we storm this league and make a Euro spot but its just not convincing me.

I hope you are wrong as well.
I'd also rather read posts from Southampton fans that are excited about the success that our new signings ,who by the way are all proven internationals, could bring to our club.
I say give them a chance and get behind the team which includes the great work being done behind the scenes by NC, NA and all the staff and scouts etc before you p1ss on everyones fire.
Who knows some of these players may go on to be world beaters and we may one day be competeing for major European trophies.
If we stay positive it may just happen.

hey fork wit..we have a dressing room, a ground, an academy, a squad, and a board... what have you got .... sweet FA, except a manager who deserves better than what he is dealing with in the Fratton swamp.
Leave the poor Pompey boy alone!
He obviously has 1 of 2 problems, either:
a) He doesn't understand a club actually having 70k to pay a player.
or
b) Is upset because 70k could save their club, buy fratton park and add a player or 2 from Eastleigh FC's squad.

Obviously doesn't realise that our wage structure was "limited" only by our financial limitations.
On 2nd thoughts, probably doesn't understand the phrase "financial limitations", either.

Anyone fancy a career (or at least a lucrative six months) in professional football? Then simply barge your way through the door at Loftus Road and someone will offer you a contract. That club is amazing - they're like me at four o'clock on Christmas Eve, staggering around the shops half cut and buying any old sh1t in the mistaken belief it'll do.

Apparently it's because when he was at Brighton and Jimmy Case was at Saints our Jimmy used to batter the living daylights out of him and he still harbours a grudge. The best thing MOTD could do would be to get rid of him and Hansen.

Because these kind of players would not go to a Championship club!! Also, we would not have had the budget to spend that kind of money in the Championship. Saints will spend what is within their financial planning, obviously this is much improved with promotion to the Premier League.

Aye, it was stated from day one that spending would make us competitive in whichever division we were in. We've never once been let down. I mean, it seems a bargain now, but we spent a million quid on Rickie when we were bottom of League One. That was massive.

As a lifelong fan of Southampton, I too remember the signing of Keegan. I think that this indeed does at least match that. It proves the club means business. I wish Gaston all the luck in the world in the future years as a Saint.
This latest signing is an unbelievable statement of our intent, and no mistake.

However, this is no match for the Keegan signing.
Keegan was a European Cup winner, European player of the year (twice?),
and a household name.
I was at junior school when we signed Keegan and when it happened our headmaster at the time did a tour of the school announcing the signing to each and every class. I don't think a similar scenario would have occurred today if the signing had been made during term time.

We welcome Gaston to our great club and city, and truly hope that whilst he's with us he emulates Keegan by becoming the best player in Europe and assists us in winning the greatest club competition.

Happy days.
The future's bright.

It is funny how all the pundits and people in the know are saying this is a massive coup for Southampton. When you look at all the deals going through in this window there are players who are far less talented being sold for similar money.

I have seen a few games with this lad and I never dreamed we would ever be signing him.

If I am wrong then I will hold my hands up, but I think we have made some real gem signings in this window.

His pathetic club lays in tatters,bending all the rules just to stay in the league and we are out there spending millions on one player, and because we dont have to rob and cheat to pay for the player it tears their brains to bits.

Man, that's good. They should translate that into Latin and lay it in a wreath in the middle of Fratton Park.

Strasbourg Saint says...
11:04pm Fri 31 Aug 12

So, let's reflect:
1. Cody Cropper - free
2. Paulo Gazzaniga - £1m
3. Nat Clyne - £2m
4. Maya Yoshida £??m
5. Steve Davies - Nominal (£2m?)
6. Manu Mayuka £??m
7. Jay Rodriguez - £8m
8. Gaston Ramirez - £12m

Not sure what the REAL total is when you include all the signing on fees etc. and don't know what sort of dent it makes in wages, but THIS is a statement, not only in the quality (something we coudn't have dreampt of a couple of years ago) but more importantly in that it builds on what we have. It's not just throwing money at anyone who comes along a la QPR.

So, without wishing to be (too) smug, where are all the moaners who doubted NA could attract top players? Where are all the moaners who said we needed to invest? Where are all the moaners who have been saying throughout this transfer window that not enough was happening?

AND the No. 3 shirt is still up for grabs.
AND we have a crop of promising youngsters, some who might just force their way into contention in the coming months and years.
AND we put out a near-reserve team on Tuesay and spanked a decent lower league side.

The times they are a changing!



Still no No. 3

All professionals want to do their best so as long as the results come eveyone will be happy. We needed more pace and another centre half so it is job done in that respect. On hopes that the left back will not be so exposed. It is now up to these players to deliver,fight for every point and survive what seems likley to be a relegation battle. One query is why make these signings now - were they not available before the season started?

i think we have brought well this window. for all those calling for a left back dont forget luke shaw is waiting in the wings.

Harsh. Everyone ad a right to a view on this one. Remember delgado? Or tat little Argentinian dude we loaned last year from 'arry?

Obviously we all hope this guy will be a big hit. But if he takes time to settle, there will be a clock ticking that we can't ignore.

You are right, but to be quite honest there is a huge gap in class between Ramirez and the two you mention (Delgado & Falque). Whilst Delgado did arrive with a fanfare and a nice 3 minute video of his goals, as fans we had never actually seen him play before and he didn't quite command the same worldwide respect that Ramirez has.

Falque, well I don't think he ever arrived with any kind of expectation.

I think with all the players we have signed, due to the amount of TV coverage we can all enjoy in these times I think we all have quite a good understanding of the players we have signed, especially in no small part to some of the Olympic football.

But generally when you look at what we have signed, the players are on a different level to Delgado and Falque.

As a lifelong fan of Southampton, I too remember the signing of Keegan. I think that this indeed does at least match that. It proves the club means business. I wish Gaston all the luck in the world in the future years as a Saint.
Me too mate.
I am 52 and remember Kevin Keegan paying for Saints but being out injured. When it was announced he was returning from injury and would play in a evening reserve match at the Dell I went along to see him for the first time. The Dell was packed out. I think it may be a record attendance for a reserve match at the Dell. He was a different class.

It seems that at long last we have a player that can score goals from outside of the penalty area.
I would like to congratulate our management team on all of the time and effort they must have put into the signing of these players.

In the context of your 'shorter' response, I can understand Skin's point, but this 'longer' more considered reply is absolutely spot on. It's a great list. Go to Boro and Juninho's a legend, go to Newcastle or, nowadays, Hartlepool and the same's true for Nobby. Likewise Ossie at Spurs.

A lot of mention on this thread of Delgado and Lawrenson.

I totally agree about Lawrenson. Total 4rse, who has never had anything but bile for Saints.

I always thought Delgado was a tad unlucky. He arrived injured, got fit and looked the part. (Remember the win against Arsenal or the goal at Anfield?) But Strachan became manager and seemed to take an instant dislike to him; presumably because he wasn't his signing. So, in short, we never got the best out of him. Pity!

Finally, those knocking Hammond, get real. He was never good enough for the Prem (possibly not even the Championship) but he always gave his best and, lest we forget, was our captain during a remarkable period. Peter Rodregues and Bobby Stokes weren't the greatest players ever to wear the shirt but, rightly, we'll always adore them.

i`d never looked either, but just have and am very excited about seeing him in a saints shirt.
i cant help but think after seeing him that if he were brazilian or spanish, is price would be double what it was and saints wouldnt have had a chance of signing him.
as for lawo, the sooner that guy is off of the tv the better. he is a useless commentator who makes jokes that just are not funny, and when they put him on motd hes just as bad.

look at QPR 2 managers and 2 owners in 2 years have brought in 2 different squads, mark hughes this summer brought in rob green on a free as 1st choice keeper, then yesterday he goes and gets Julio Cesar as first choice keeper! now he is saying green can leave in the jan window. greens only been there a few weeks, what has hughes seen with him that makes him change his mind so quickly? green is meant to be Englands no.2 .

Totally agree.

How does anyone know what the wage and bonus structure is at the club. Do we see what they pay out each week, no, we don't

Who knows who got what last year when we got up, I'd imagine they all did very well at the end of the year and all got a bump in pay.

Do you know how much workers where you work are get paid? I doubt it.

Agreed. The few interviews he's given show cortese to be quietly determined and full of vision. More importantly he sets big targets and hits them.

I'm sure there is a wage hierarchy to reflect ability, doubt you can pay a £12 million player £20k a week. He'll be the top earner and rightly so, none of the current squad could command that money. That's my opinion anyway, what is fact is that two and a half years ago I was stood on a cold terrace at Wycombe watching a very poor 0 - 0 draw in league one. I would say, on balance, NC and NA have done a reasonable job!!!!!!

For anyone that has not read this article,makes interesting reading.


Ramirez flies in...

The star of the Uruguayan olympic team, Ramirez really is a coup for Saints, and as Nigel Adkins so succinctly put it "What we have got is one of the most exciting prospects in world football coming to St Mary’s."

One of the best sources for info on the protracted deal was Italian journalist Daniele Labanti of the Corriere di Bologna, the Corriere della Sera local issue. I was delighted when he agreed to answer some questions on Ramirez.

After a long drawn out transfer, Saints fans will be hoping Ramirez is worth the wait. What did you make of the transfer?

DL:- "It was a very difficult deal because too many parts were involved. Saints, Bologna, Penarol and agents all tried to get the best from the deal. Bologna needed the money and when the club understood Ramirez wanted to go, the Italian club decided to sell him. The first trouble was a interview Ramirez did with Gazzetta dello Sport, talking as a ‘Saint’, just after the agreement with Southampton: Bologna were still in talks with the Saints and the Chairman was very upset with that interview. But then all details were managed and the deal was completed."

Many Saints fans will have only seen him at the Olympics, what are his strengths and weaknesses?

DL:- "Ramirez is a great young player. As a comparison, he had more impact in Italy than Pastore had in Palermo before they sold him to PSG for €43 million. So we can say Southampton completed a good deal for ‘just’ €14 million. Ramirez can dribble, kick with both feet, is quite speedy and has good stamina. He has to improve his mentality, stop (trash) talking with opponents and referee first."

He was a big hit at Bologna, do you think he can translate his play to the English game?

DL:- "I definitely believe he could be a star in the Premier League. The English game has more ‘spacing’ than the Italian one and Gaston is quite unstoppable if he can run."

What other players would you liken him to?

DL:- "I don’t want to be irreverent, but the best case is a sort of Zinedine Zidane."

Were you surprised to see him end up at a club like Southampton?

DL:- "Yes I was. Rumours told of interest from Liverpool and Tottenham and it was supposed he would join a Champions League/Europa League team. But the Saints offer was so rich and Gaston decided to not wait for a ‘big club’ anymore."

Many thanks to Daniele for answering these questions and getting me even more excited than I already was!

Gaston Ramirez. You're Our Guy.

it was almost a drawer apart from our 6 goals
If we'd have scored 6 Fewer would we not have won? Blimey, we shouldn't run things so close!
mind you on the pre match warm up they did score 4.but i suppose these will be own goals or maybe not, needs confuscious to clarify

Me too, mate. When our second went in I made a sound like the combined total of every childbirth in human history (but in a happy way, obv.) and now I sound like Nick Cave.

But the banter with City fans was fun. With the United fans we need to really, really rip the p1ss. They're in the same position as Liverpool fans were 20 years ago and face a long, long spell without winning anything. Which is a shame, as this is the only reason 99% of their fans support them.

Agreed. The only possible reason for anyone to get twitchy on board would be for his contacts book, but it doesn't look as though Nicola has much trouble bringing players in.

Totally agree.
Second.
Agreed. The few interviews he's given show cortese to be quietly determined and full of vision. More importantly he sets big targets and hits them.
Agreed to all the above.

I to am a relative whipper-snapper myself at 38, I must say I never thought I would see the day when we have a transfer window like this.

I love our club through thick and thin, but finally it seems like we have leadership with a clear vision and I for one am loving it.

WOOOOHOOOO!!! I was getting bored waiting for another Pompey no-mark to drop in here with a bit of football wisdom, and at last, one of them finally shows up. Have to admit to being a bit miffed at only spotting the usual drivel a bit late in the day, but nonetheless, it did bring a cheeky grin to my face, So anyway, enough prevaricating... "Flashin the pan" (which I assume is something to do with toilet behaviour by the KrapNottarf few) continues to amuse in much the same way that Pompey Phyliss and her two chums do. I must say, I owe them a debt of gratitude (if they know what that means) for giving me so much to laugh at for so many months now. Please, please, continue to venture forth with such wisdom whenever you feel like it. These days we could all do with something to put a smile on our faces. Thank you and keep up the good work girls!!

Oh come on guys! Leave the poor thing alone. It is getting to look cruel. A blood sport. It really is quite sad that the only thing the poor devils have left to bolster their (false) pride at being the best of all possible fans is that a few saints fans sometimes leave the ground a few minutes before the end of a game in order to get a good start on their homeward journeys. Talk about clutching at straws. Give the lad a break. I mean, they are only getting 12k crowds compared to our 29-35K. He is too thick to realise just how pathetic he is. Have some sympathy. Don't leave him floundering on the shore flapping about the poor legless beastie. Chuck him back. Better still; use the priest and put him out of his misery.

Hope the new signings have pacified some of the doom and gloom contributors to this sight , the signing of Ramirez is not far off being as sensational as the deal to bring king Kev to the Dell . Mayaku and Yoshida , along with gaston are experienced internationals who will give NA options both defensively and attacking alongside the fact that Lee looked sharp on Tuesday means he has 4 more options for the coming season . Unlike most of the clubs around us we have paid fees for these players , how many of you feel the same as me that premiership clubs should not be able to loan players to other premiership clubs , west ham for instance have loaned a player who they would not of been willing to pay 30 million for cos they have not got that sort of money but his goals could relegate a club who were prepared to invest in their squad ?

I agree with this. I think loaning players to other EPL clubs is wrong. I have never been a great fan of loaning players, although it works well for us loaning out, but that is to lower league clubs.

I am delighted that the players we signed are our players and not a player that we are borrowing in order to increase the sell on value on behalf of the owner. Our philosophy shows long term planning for the club.

Massive game for us today.
Our season needs to start.

It's a pity we will be unable to play our new signings but never mind.

Today is the day that those players who are selected need to step up to the plate.

No slacking,100% concentration.

Prove to all the doubters we are not here just for the ride.

We now have massive competition for places and that is how it should be.

We owe Man U big time.
Remember the relegation game from the Prem and the delight that certain Man U players got from that.

Remember all of the hurt we have had to endure since that time.

Remember the continuous mocking from our neighbours down the road.

Come on you Saints this now needs to be treated as the first cup final of the remaining 36 cup finals this season and we will WIN.

WE NEED TO SHOUT OUR SELVES HOARSE TODAY, GIVE OUR PLAYERS THE RESPECT THAT THEY DESERVE AFTER DRIVING THIS CLUB TO THE PINNICAL OF FOOTBALL IN THIS COUNTRY.

Ha,ha keep your bitter comments coming Phil :-D yours and the rest of your fans jealousy is getting to much and your fragile eggshell minds are cracking up :-) if we get stuffed by Man Utd today at least we have the pleasure of watching decent football in our premier league standard ground :-) I would rather that then watch the Pompey Pub Team play crap like Crawley and Oldham in your rundown embarrassment of a shed that still looks like something from the dark ages :-) keep the comments coming we love them!
What I said above. Skunts clutching at straws and the kindest thing to do would be to put em all down.

It seems their minds are self destructing like their club is :-) it's funny how the only people willing to save the "best fans in the world" is their own fans and some business man who is only in it to recoup his own funds! And neither have the money to do it, do its no wonder they are green with envy at us buying players for 12 million :-) Just think back to West Brom when we went down and all the skunts that come up to sit in the stands and laugh at us :-) KARMA is a **** when it bites ha,ha

you poor deluded fool, whilst your manager is out with a begging bowl (no shame) and whislt your disgraceful club is self destructing around you, you feel the need to try wind up the proper fans of a more successful well run club!
it hasnt yet and it wont work! we dont care what you say, we are premier league. we are playing the best teams in the country. whilst you are playing the likes of oldham (lost) and crawley (will lose) with players you cant afford, we are playing manure with a £12mill player watching from the stands! the stands in a state of the art stadium that will be full today. when you and your fishy friends comments about plastic fans you really should look closer to home, your shed only holds 21000 and yet only 12650 were there yesterday! so thats around 9000 plastic fans then! keep your idiotic posts coming and we will keep making you look a complete fool!
