Gianluca Di Marzio reports that we have signed Gaston Ramirez: White smoke. Gaston Ramirez signed with Southampton, the decisive step. Now, for the official, missing only the exchange of documents between Bologna and the English club. Then, Ramirez parties can finally go in the Premier ... http://www.gianlucadimarzio.com/calciomercato/southampton-ramirez-ha-firmato/
If he does sign and is registered before 12:00pm tomorrow he can technically play against Man United... whether he will or not is different.
Daniele Labanti of Corriere di Bologna: #ramirez inked a 4 years contract with #southampton done deal
I was the first one to change my Avatar to Ramirez on the Friday the Sky Sports article was made. 2 weeks tomorrow. Have always believed he is going to sign and it seems he has.
On MOTD3 (the online extra discussion bit, had Colin Murray, Lawro and Jason Roberts this week) they discussed the ten biggest transfer rumours (stuff like De Rossi to City, Damiao to Spurs) and Colin Murray said "I'm sure you'll both agree, I really, really want to see him go to Southampton" when Lawro interrupted with a very blunt "He won't go to Southampton."
Lawrenson said with disdain that Ramirez would never sign for Southampton. Only counted half my chickens...will leave rest till tomorrow.
