Gastón Ramírez al Southampton, equipo recién ascendido a la Premier.

Care to translate?

[Red_Polo]

Ramirez to Soton who recently came up into the Prem.

Or such like.

[BobTheCharmer]

talking of soton, any ideas on why they have that **** kit instead of traditional red & white stripes with black shorts?

[Leyton388]

Would you want to play in the same kit as a club like stoke?

stoke don't have black shorts.

I see you don't like Stoke. I like the fact their crowd are so loud and agressive and have no problems with the way they play. What a boring place it would be if we all played like swansea.

Thats a fair point but i think the Southampton board just wanted too be sure they wouldn't get mixed up with the hoof kings of british football.

God i hate stoke FC and tony ****ing pulis. He makes fat sam's team look like Barca

[Gibbo]

Apparently City are quite close to signing Matija Nastasic.

This could hopefully mean that they aren't going after Agger anymore.

Spurs stepping up their efforts to sign Lloris (don't rate him) and Dembele (do rate him but doesn't score or assist).

[Pablo]

You rate him even though he never scores or assists?

I think he's a nice player to watch, but as he's not productive I don't really rate him that much.

Similar to Modric in a way, as his goal and assist rate isn't that impressive either. Not doubting his ability though, he's an excellent player.

Exactly this. Modric hardly scored and hardly assisted, but he's fantastic. Dembele obviously isn't at that level but he's a cracking player.

[Gingawaria]

Xabi's assist rate wasn't exactly amazing either.

There's more to football than goals and assists.
