Southampton's Ramirez ruled out for up to 6 weeks

Southampton have been dealt a huge blow by hearing that their all-time most expensive player, Gaston Ramirez, is set to miss the next six weeks due to injury.

The 21-year old, who looks like a mix between Lionel Messi and West Brom’s Zoltan Gera *shudder*, has been unavailable due to a dead leg and Saints boss Nigel Adkins has confirmed that he will be without the  Uruguayan for approximately 6 weeks.

Doctors have said that the pressure and expectancy that has occurred from his substantial transfer fee has proved too heavy for Ramirez to carry and that his legs have crumbled under the weight*.

*Not strictly true.
