Ramos flying in to Luton Tonight and not a moment to soon

 

[TheChosenOne]

I'm only 25 mins from Luton

I would pick him up but my motor is a "Pajero" - This means "wanker" in Spanish.

 

[Tequila]

live in bedford might go down there and warn him about zok before he signs.

 

[roomer]

TBH since this story broke on 17th August I have been waiting in anticipation for Ramos to arrive. I fully accept JOL has done a wonderful job but we need to be taken on to the next level and I believe Ramos is the Man.

What do you mean by that? Ramos knows about Zokora's qualities, and wanted to sign him to Sevilla.

 

[RickyVilla]

Just out of interest what has this Ramos geezer done during his career? I know very little about him apart from Sevilla having a great season last time around. Any info is appreciated peeps

there are other things too, like getting small/rubbish teams into Europe who probably had no business being in the top flight.

I see him as a cross between Wenger and Allardyce. Either way, I think the general consensus is that he has a history of getting the best out of potential (Reyes, Baptista, Alves, Kanoute among others)

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

Luton eh?

With Easyjet?

 

[C0YS]

please no I dont want spurs to play like bolton/newcastle

 

[nicdic]

Not in playing style.

You'd rather we play like QPR?

For fuck sake, do you want us to be shit or do you want us to get some success? Anyway, have you seen Sevilla play? it's quick, fluid and consistent at the back.

 

[PT]

They knocked us out of a cup with our name on it last season...

That's more the point. Good football from a solid defense. All groovy!

And with Seville; there are two giant clubs in Spain, Real and Barca, after that there is Valencia after which, and way down, are maybe deportivo and posibly celta vigo or real sociadad and bilbao. Somewhere behind all these and others on a level of expectations, their last cup win was in 1948, you will find Sevilla so 5 cups in 2 years and CL qualification is quite some achievement.

Your probably one of the pricks that wanted to warn him about Kanoute as well eh.

and to be fair the reason they doing not so well this season is because of the uncertainty regarding Ramos' future. Ever since the whole Ramos affair started in August they haven't been doing well. If you saw them just before that they played Real Madrid at the Bernabue and beat them 5-2.
