    All we need now is left-handed Roberto and the nipple sweat guy and we're heading for another Saint Gaston!

    Southampton have raised their bid for Gabbiadini to 18m€. Tweet from Tancredi Palmeri 15 mins ago.

    Darren Lewis in the Mirror saying Gabbiadini has agreed a contract, the clubs have agreed structured payments and Saints are confident of getting the deal done before deadline day.

    Well we've only got 48 hours of this left, hopeful we can get 3 signings in in that time

    Why is it so hard to negotiate with Italian clubs? Well for Southampton anyway?

    DiMarzio : Big meeting today. If nothing can be sorted we will walk away.

    As far as I'm aware the back-up for Gabbiadini is the young guy from Real Madrid B.

    I'm no good with translation or reading between the lines, but it seems that the president has thrown a strop because he has not yet sparked a bidding war to raise the price... so infuriated that while he could've used Gabbiadini to get a result, he chose not to and then realised, if he accepted the money quietly, people would focus on Saints and Gabbiadini and not him and his ego.

    Therefore he has demanded a showdown meeting (where Les will get exactly his way, or he will set the boys on him-this basically means a nice massage and a cup of earl grey)...

    Precisely this type of saga that frustrates me when people moan about Les not conducting business at the beginning of the window, why have x club signed someone when we have not etc etc. Transfers are just not that easy to get across the line - particularly when dealing with nutters.

    99% of Italian websites are trash like ours. That's why you have so many different stories.

    It's all becoming rather farcical. Feels like a lot of time has been wasted, if the deal falls through the club really haven't got much time to arrange a replacement, although they may already be working on a contingency plan. Still fully expect it to go ahead.

    We had the same thing with Ramirez and Osvaldo. It's a Italian thing.
