He'd only have 2 days to train with the squad I'd imagine.

So? Players have been thrown into matches before, and Adkins might feel he needs reinforcements for United.

Would be surprised if no new recruits were in the squad, and even if they aren't, if they want Adkins to have the choice, they need to be registered.

Well he hasn't gelled properly, English isn't his first language and he has no idea of the formations or tactics.

I think if it was a weaker team Adkins may have risked it, but not against united when defending will be the most important thing along with solid tactics.
 
Imagine if you supported a team like Northampton and you were waiting to see what players were being signed. Doesn't compare really does it?

I don't think it matters. If we're 1 down with 20 minutes to go, he could provide the creativity we need to grab an equaliser. At that point we'll be pressing forward and defensive discipline is not such an issue. If I was Adkins I'd want him available.

Agree, but this is all irrelevant if he doesn't register before noon!
 
Italian football expert James Horncastle: "La Gazzetta dello Sport claim the prospective transfer of 21-year-old Uruguay international winger Gaston Ramirez from Bologna to Southampton is in its final stages. The pink paper reports that only a few details need ironing out before a move said to be worth €14m is made official. This deal has been long and complicated so, with that in mind, treat this with caution as more bureaucratic problems certainly aren't beyond the realm of possibility.
