Vergini, borini and Alonso all close to signing

It's what I'll say to my boss this morning, when he asks me how that report I'm working on is progressing. I'll say close, but in reality, he knows I've probably only started the outline, and I'll be scrabbling around to get it over the line on deadline day.
 
Don't see the point in signing Alonso now we have van Aanholt. We need a versatile player to cover fullback positions.
Barry was a left sided defender that developed into a competent midfielder (at least MoN, even, Fabio, Martinez and mancini thought)....maybe there's a possibility Alonso could do something similar

To be fair, Gus said we're not after Alonso anymore after getting Paddy van Aanholt, so he may have been close last week but certainly isn't now.
i think he said if the deal was right he'd still take him
 
so you believe its safc's fault re borini not signing? You wont wear the possibility maybe Liverpool may have reneged on a contractual matter out of our control?
Borini himself is the deciding factor to this transfer either happening or not, what his reasons are I haven't got a clue.

He also said he'd still take him, if the opportunity arose.

Think you're being wildly optimistic there. Can't see it myself.
 
...has been the word of choice to describe our transfer dealings. Most recently used about Alonso, Vergini and (interestingly) Borini.

But what does 'close' mean in these circumstances? Is it a case of everything being agreed except for one detail which needs to fall into place for the deal to happen? Does it just mean we have had a bid accepted?

The Borini one in particular seems weird.
Clammy and uncomfortable.

Summer does that
