I think bruceys mind will be made up in the next 8 games
Ramirez was a revelation to me yesterday. Prior to the Chelsea game I thought he was expendable. But he had a major impact on the game and showed a level of skill, stamina, and innovation that transformed our attacking play. His combination with Hernandez and N'Doye was brilliant. If he can continue to play at that level through the end of the season we should definitely try to sign him at a reasonable price IMO.
As someone mentioned the other day, we brought him in when Snodgrass got injured, when Snodgrass returns he's unlikely to get in the team.
He's miles better than Snodgrass. I'd rather we kept Gaston and sold Snodgrass, but my preferences dont come into it.
He signed a four year contract with Southampton in 2012 for 12 MILLION QUID! He MUST have the same agent as Hernandez and Shane Long.
Ramirez is too lightweight for this League (imo) and how much do you reckon Southampton will want for him?
There has to be better options.
Well to be fair he was brilliant in his last season before Saints signed him and £12m was about the right fee. You could argue he's gone to the wrong league and he might be better in Spain or South America, but he's a fantastic player and much better than Long and Abel.
I would agree with that but he is lost at this level for me. My guess is that Southampton will off-load him and he will move to Europe.
