Gaston Ramirez on loan?
- Thread starter Hyperion
- Start date
If CH has no confidence in his current back ups in a 4-4-2 formation (Ince, JFC, Crofts, Holla) the club desperately needs back up, and very very soon.

I like Ramirez, he'd give us a different option and I think we'd all rather he was the option to come in rather than JFC - no offence to him but he's not the creative spark we do still lack.

No secret that Koeman wants Ramirez off the wage bill and this article suggests a loan move to a Championship club isn't out of the question.... he's a talented player, definitely different to what we have at mo but he's faced criticism for being inconsistent and also that his talents aren't suited to the Premiership due to his physicality

I'm not sure it's "desperate" quite yet. Would be nice, but "desperately" needed??
5 of there 19 tweets are about us, no scoops to speak of as yet.
With suspensions round the corner and if CH doesn't feel he has adequate cover then the situation is certainly edging that way.

With all four of those you mentioned starting a match, we'd be in trouble. It would be last season all over again.
But one or two of them getting a game now & again to cover injury, Kayal's inevitable suspensions etc, I'd hope we'd get away with. Crofts, once match fit, and Ince should slot in just fine (Ince has done a job when he's come on towards the end of matches recently- in fact I'd say he's added something to the side as his mobility and energy have lifted a flagging team more than once).

I'm certainly not against us adding to the squad if quality players are available, by the way. I just didn't think we were in a desperate position quite yet

That's what I think of when I hear his name too
There are some links at the end of the video to videos shot as Disneyland where the Gaston guy is brilliant - in one some guy challenge him to a push up competition that he wins with amusing ease - it's great.

In the event that we actually signed Gaston (can't see it, but you never know), I would sell my own Granny to hear the North Stand singing that song in his honour
Obviously, the fact that it has lots of long words in it and doesn't feature the line "your support is ****ing shit" means it would never happen (also: I don't have any grannies left
), but it would have been a great moment :thumb:In the event that we actually signed Gaston (can't see it, but you never know), I would sell my own Granny to hear the North Stand singing that song in his honour

It would be quite something to hear the north stand sing the line "[he's] especially good at expectorating"
Have any of them been used in the 4-4-2 system?
Ince is definitely Mr 4-5-1, the Rumbelows Cup formation.
JFC replaced Stephens at Fulham inside the last 5 minutes, and sadly it'll be a brave manager who relies on Crofts.

It's ok, I said that in the knowledge that, unfortunately, both of mine are long departed from this realm

Phew thats a relief.....erm not that they've departed
Stat are you going through the male menopause perchance ? For the past few months you just come over all flustered and stuck in a downward spiral of footballing doubt. Kayal and Stephens seemed to have really gelled this season, but we do have three other good options. I feel confident that a match fit Crofts can pick up a few important goals coming on for the last 20 minutes with Bobby Z, once our core four have run the legs off the opposition. Unless we start picking up long term injuries, there is no need to panic.
