According to a quote from Poyet in today's Northern Echo that was last week!

...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.

It means it's close mate, which is better than not close

Don't see the point in signing Alonso now we have van Aanholt. We need a versatile player to cover fullback positions.

'Close' in transfer parlance means for most teams, 'close'. For us it means 'far away'.

It also means it hasn't been done,which is better for PR than saying it hasn't been done.
