Gaston Ramirez Joins Hull City
Monday, 1st Sep 2014 22:30

Shock of the day for Saints is that Gaston Ramirez has left the club for the delights of Hull City.

The words coming from Ronald Koeman in the past few days seemed to be saying that Gaston Ramirez might have a chance to re boot his career at the club, however that has been turned on its head with the breaking news that the Uruguayan has joined Hull City on a season long loan.

That means that Saints will have two of their biggest signings playing no part fro the club for the rest of the season with Ramirez at £12 million and Osvaldo at £15 million now both out on loan, although it is likely that Saints will still be paying a big chunk of both their wages.

WestSussexSaint added 00:11 - Sep 2 With the Mane deal Gastons match time would probably be limited again so a good deal for the player and hopefully he will get a decent run in the hull team to build his confidence and give us an option for next season.

Gaston is an enigma. Stunning v Newcastle at home in our first PL season, flashes of brilliance afterwards but generally a damp squib for the money we paid.
Weird that he gets "this will be his season" from the fans yet other players are condemned after a game or so.
Very high wage earner with little end product (thus far).
We have no (actual) constraints under FFP re his wages, It is a question of "value for money" and parity with the rest of the squad, if wages are a factor in him being loaned out for a season.

corkcitysaint added 10:42 - Sep 2 Surprised like many to hear this and I am disappointed by it I must admit. I thought this would be a good season for him. True that he never did fulfill his potential but then he never had a regular run in the side. I thought we could do with his passing ability at the moment, in and around the box.

Knees-up Mother Brown #24 by wessex_exile

After another weekend break to spend a very enjoyable afternoon with Spireite Craig watching the U’s get a well-deserved point at runaway leader Mansfield Town, followed by promotion back to the EFL for Chesterfield, the matchday Saturdays left before the end of the season are running out. So, given I’m away again next Saturday again to join 9,000+ for the visit of Planet Hollywood, I’m going to slip in a Good Friday special ahead of what will undoubtedly be two extremely important fixtures in deciding the fate of Colchester United. On Monday the family are arriving for their traditional Easter Egg Hunt (and obligatory roast dinner), so here goes for the visit of t’other Exiles to the JobServe. Come on Col U!

Following a disappointing result at Holker Street, exacerbated by yet more poor refereeing to deny us a clear penalty in the first half and award a non-existent free-kick to give the Bluebirds a first half lead (albeit the free-kick was an absolute blinder), and the inevitable postponement of the Donny game on Tuesday, the U’s now find themselves in the relegation zone. It is what it is, and with seven of our remaining 11 games at home, our destiny is still very much in our own hands – but everyone has to do their job, both on and off the (repurposed) pitch.

Thanks to a combination of postponements and a trip to Sutton following the U’s, it has been three weeks since the last blog, as the U’s prepare to face a very tricky opponent in Barrow AFC. Since they were voted out of the football league in 1972 (arguably thanks to Ronnie Radford’s screamer against Newcastle in the Edgar Street mud), the Bluebirds spent 48 years in the non-league wilderness before their return following the Covid-19 curtailment to the 2019/20 season. Some are surprised at how well they’re doing this season, but probably shouldn’t be – under new manager Pete Wild they finished a very respectable 9th last season and are clearly aiming to improve on that this time around. Mind you, we’ve got our own new management team in place too, and whilst wins are proving elusive right now, we’re certainly making ourselves a team hard to beat.

Bill Shankly once said that form is temporary, class is permanent. He was of course correct, but let’s hope never more so than today’s visit to Wetherby Road to take on the form side of League 2, Harrogate Town. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to say the Sulfurites have defied the expectations of most pundits, many tipping them to be in another relegation scrap this season. But, long-standing manager (and former player) Simon Weaver has turned things around, and they currently sit just two places and two points outside the play-offs. Weaver was rightly awarded the Sky Bet League 2 Manager of the Month for January – hope he looks after it, because it’ll be Danny’s soon.

February, and the U’s enter the most pivotal month of the season. Six games in just four weeks, with four of them against sides also in the bottom six. By March we should be either well clear of danger, or even deeper in the sh*t. With Danny Cowley’s U’s still unbeaten, and looking stronger game on game, I’m sure it’ll be the former, but first we have to do our bit to consign Steve ‘Sour Grapes’ Cotterill’s FGR back to non-league. After our shambolic 5-0 defeat at New Lawn, nothing would give me greater pleasure, even if it meant losing one of my closest awaydays in the process. What’s the excuse going to be today Steve – shocking pitch, faking head injuries, Mexican banditry or some other bit of sour-grapery bullsh*t?
