    My source indicates we've signed a Dutch centre-back, Men Koncou.

    From La Gazzetta Dello Sport:

    "Situazione Ramirez. Ore decisive per la cessione di Gaston Ramirez. Il presidente del Bologna, Guaraldi, ha interrotto le vacanze in Sardegna ed è volato in compagnia del d.g. Zanzi a Southampton, dove i due ritroveranno l’agente dell’uruguaiano, Bentancourt. Per chiudere il club inglese deve sborsare subito 15 milioni oppure pagare una maxirata e dilazionare nel tempo altri 5-7 milioni. La trattativa dovrebbe andare a buon fine, al giocatore 10 milioni in 4 anni. (Nicola Zanarini)"


    Roughly:


    "Situation Ramirez: Decision time for the sale of Gaston Ramirez. The President of Bologna, Guaraldi, interrupted his holidays in Sardinia to fly to Southampton with [delegate] Zanzi, where they met the player's Uruguayan agent, Bentancourt. To close the deal the English club must immediately pay €15 million or pay a balloon payment and then another €5-7 million within a specified time. The negotiations should be successful, the player will earn €10 million over four years. (Nicola Zanarini)"

    Sounds dead to me, Rupert Lowe would have brought him by now. But if it does pay off, can we play him CB as I heard he is fast?

    Tancredi Palmeri has tweeted about this deal again:

    Ramirez: deal was basically done,but his interview drove mad Bologna mgmt. Today Southampton and Bologna on meeting in England.

    What still missing? 3 more millions for Bologna and payment of 50% of the total within 2012. Percentage of success: 90%.

    The situation could be dead but how did you arrive at that from that post. If the Bologna Chairman is willing to interrupt his holiday, all parties must be serious. The problem will be either it is too hot for us or another club step in and turn his head.

    It does make you wonder why football negotiations take so long. Surely you could thrash this out with a 15 minute phone call?

    What's the odds Cortese takes the Bologna president out tonight, wines and dines him, schmoozes him like all Italian businessmen and clinches the deal soon?

    exactly what i was saying to my mate yesterday, surely if they know what the deal is, it can be easily sorted....... provided we agree with it. The fact they have flown over today I assume its either going to happen very quick or not at all. cant see them flying over here to sort if it isnt literally a done deal !!!! No way they would then go all the way back to Italy to then mull over emails and phone calls !!!
