i mean if ali has mentioned it, has to be pretty close right?

He rarely sticks his neck out like this unless it's close yeah. During the Bale saga last year, he stayed non-committal even as the smoke started to build and only confirmed we were close when he clearly got the nod from the club. Would be surprised if we hadn't basically tied these deals up.

History tends to suggest this

They way things are going regarding incoming Italian signings I am seriously thinking of telling my Father I have resigned and offer my services to Daniel and Fabio as an interpreter (y). Has to pay more than I am currently earning ;)

Get him in so we can have at least a couple of hours without logging on to SC or Twitter and readin about how our club is 'finished' because we're not spending money every second of the transfer window being opened.

Romero is insane. You all know he was Serie A defender of the season, and he did it in a ultra-attacking and often defensively exposed team. Sturdy base, a really strong leaper and hard to move. He’s not rapid, but not slow either. Aggressive on and off the ball. On the ball, he loves to move forward, but I’m not sure how much of that is Gasperini’s system and how much is his nature. Judging by his Argentina time and Genoa time, it’s probably a bit of both. Very good on the ball though.

Back 3 or 4, he’s great in either. His standout attribute is his defensive instincts and his base and adjustment of positioning. It is truly elite. Right place, right time, all the time. His body shape and positioning in every defensive scenario is fantastic. Great reader of danger and team defender too.

A warrior. Played in the Copa final with leg injections after being almost a certainty to miss out. And was a top performer in the match. Young yet experienced on the big stage. I’d guess roughly 40 mil, but for a player of his profile, he’ll be a bargain if his development continues.

As naturally talented as Lacroix, more talented (and better last season) than Skriniar, and very close talent-wise to Kounde. But as a pure defender he’s at least on par with the Sevilla man. This would basically be the best CB signing we could make when considering cost, potential, ability, youth, and experience. Exciting.

Not sure why but I read this as we are signing Gollini and Cristiano Ronaldo!!

Romero would be absolutely class if we can get him!
