True, plus for him it'll be a nice sentiment that a club now appreciates what a good player he is/(seems to be) and has backed it up with wages he deserves.
Saint Gaston!

I'm sat here hoping his dad doesn't ruin this by demanding we pay for an oyster card.
Come on Gaston, sign on the line!

We'll have to wait until he arrives in the country first! Hopefully he'll be in the air by now.
If you watch the free kick he scored for Uruguay at the olympics you'll see he's left footed so if we play him at right mid he'll cut in. 
Think there maybe a large amount of cash in a top quality, Italian, beige envelope though to go with the wage.
2 million euros equates to around £30k per week, so not too crazy. I believe we pay out a fair bit in incentives rather than basic wages to maintain precedents for incoming players. It's wages rather than one off payments that are the real financial killer. Great deal Saints and well done Cortese!
Brilliant! I'll celebrate with a beer when it's on OS, seen this before with a certain Swansea player.....
IF is true, I get the feeling that him and Ricky will get on like a house on fire; after all, he's from a place called Fray Bentos... who ate all the pies, who ate the pies?! 
"Who made all the pies, Who made all the pies, Saint Ramirez, Saint Ramirez, he made all the pies"!!

All you need to know about Ramirez and why he is going to be "an absolute superstar".

Firstly, I believe nothing until it's on the OS. All the article on Sky (dubious in my opinion) says is we've agreed a deal with Bologna. If Spurs and Liverpool ARE interested, this could be when they move.
Secondly, who is this guy (seriously, not knocking him, but i'd never heard of him until a few days ago), and don't reply with a you tube video. Also why isn't he a centre back?

One of the best young players in europe... dubbed the Uruguayan kaka? The article on sky has direct quotes from the player himself which is usually a good sign. Why not watch a video of him it gives you a taste of his style but obviously not the full picture.
I read the article DTLW helpfully posted. Sounds like most of what we are (allegedly) paying for is very good potential. The article paints a picture of somebody who can flit in and out of games, may be unsure about his best position and has a languid style that may not fit into the English style. However, he could be that luxury player who could do something special in a game and create a goal.
That's a rather pessimistic view! If you want to be reassured go read some other teams boards, Kumb spurs and liverpool. Before they knew we were in for him they were VERY complimentary about him. (I put kumb in because it's funny watching them squabble).
I was around when Sainst signed Keegan and I have to say that I am as stunned now as I was then....
