So, that'll be this afternoon then. FA have a minimum 2 hour lunch I think, especially on deadline day when they are required to actually do something. Maybe they'll extend the deadline by 15 mins too later if it coincides with tea and biccys.

Anyway, enough grumbling. Lads ours. Cue the 'Jose wants him ready for summer hence why Inter didn't bid' rumours :)

Don't think he'll be flying anywhere, SSN resident rag James Cooper said the medical etc will probably be completed in Italy this afternoon as it would be bit too much of a rush job to start jumping on planes now.
