If you can't translate:

It basically says that Saints have continued to negotiate with Damaio and trying to sign him

Again its paper talk but its hope we can cling onto :)

Wow I really do like it when people back up their rumours with links :). I would love this to be true but in the same breath Tutto were the ones who were sure Ramirez was leaving to Inter? So I do wonder who their sources are.

"New contacts, the objective remains Leandro Damiao. The Southampton strong tip sull'attaccante Internacional, is the first choice and remains so. Possible concrete developments within 4-5 days, President Cortese in the last hours has positive feelings. Even if you have to address to shave a few important details, because the agreement between the parties is not there yet. The Southampton continues to work, because Damiao is the first name on the list of satisfaction. More than Oswald and the other strikers who were matched to the squad. Meanwhile, Mauricio Pochettino stated that it will greatly player Internacional de Porto Alegre. " this the translation In full by me, nah jokes google translate lol. kinda seems like it could happen for us then :0 basically what this is saying is that Saints are in poll postion and remain the main contenders for his signature and that something is expected to happen in the next 4-5 days because an agreement isn't quite there yet and they are basically still in talks about the money how it will be paid. and that LD is our top target higher than Osvaldo. personally I would take Osvaldo but. LD seems more fitted to our club in that I think he would fit in with the lads and not cause problems, kinda what I got from it

Don't be surprised if this is a ruse to attract a bigger club. We do all the work, squeeze him on terms, then one of Europes elite swoop in and match it. I understand Liverpool tried to do this last-minute with Ramires last season.

Liverpool didn't get him though and they aren't quite elite in Europe anymore.
But still it could happen.

Liverpool have real difficulties straightening out multi owner contracts-we have NC as the ace on this one!

Saint Martin

Some people may remember that I stated we were going back in for Damiao a week or so ago after the deal was apparently dead. I was also told I was talking rubbish.

Guess what? we are back in for him, and he is seen as the signing Saints want.
From what I hear we are fairly close to getting our man, but it is going to be a tricky signing to pull off.
