Gaston Ramirez season has been ended with a hamstring injury at Hull City, but where does he go from here in terms of his career ?

Gaston Ramirez will be returning from Humberside to Southampton with Hull City feeling that they never really got any value from his loan spell, indeed in the last couple of months of the season as Hull slipped towards the relegation zone, Ramirez has only managed 50 minutes of action as he struggled with this recurrent hamstring problem.

However Ramirez has never really impressed at the Tigers and has started only 11 league games and if he wasn't available through injury then he was not exactly first name on the team sheet either.

The local paper in Hull is reporting that it is unlikely that Hull City will be making an offer for Ramirez despite Saints being open for offers, a £70k a week wage plus Saints looking to recoup as much as the £12 million paid for the Uruguayan as they can it is unlikely that many sides in the Premier league would be willing to risk signing the injury prone Ramirez.

So it looks like next season, the last in his Saints contract will see Saints trying to offload him again on loan and as they have for his spell at Hull, having to pay a sizeable chunk of his wages themselves to make such a move affordable and attractive to any prospective clubto loan him.

Of course with only a year left the player himself might opt for a pay cut and a permanent move in order to try and kick start his career, yet another injury has seen him dropped from Uruguay's squad for this summer's Copa America and although there are rumours that the likes of Inter Milan are interested in signing him, the reality for both Saints and the player is that these are more than likely rumours fuelled by his agent looking to try and engineer a move that would be both acceptable to the player and of course Saints.

davenbennett added 09:21 - May 13 I think he is just not strong enough for the premiership. I thought he could be the player to push Saints forward with goals from MF and assists with defence splitting passes. He can't do that if always injured. With Osvaldo, I think he has burnt his boats. I voted for Fonte as player of the year, and can't see him wanting to play with Osvaldo again. It is a great pity about both, as I think Osvaldo was out most expensive player, and Ram, third most expensive Both failures and we will lose a lot of money on them.

ItchenNorth added 13:07 - May 13 In also referring to the last article; I'd far sooner see Gaston back on-board than Elia signed up. Maybe transfer fee and wages cloud minds a little but Gaston has something about him I like. Djuricic perhaps is the only other player in our squad that could operate in at number 10 role, which is really Gastons natural position.

DPeps added 13:25 - May 13 Technically Gaston is quality: dribbling and passing are excellent. As said above, however, he isn't physically strong enough for PL at the moment and has never really improved this aspect of his game since arriving. Main problem for him is that he's not really a MoPo or RoKo player. It's not his game to chase down opposition for 90mins
