yeah, here is what they had on gazzetta:
Laporta, Barca president just confirmed that Dinho and Etoo will stay at Barca next year too - he wants it, the coach wants it and the players want it too, in his words:
Quote:
Calcio, Laporta: "Ronaldinho e Eto'o non si muovono"
Indice Ultim'ora
BARCELLONA - Ronaldinho e Samuel Eto'o resteranno al Barcellona. A due giorni dalla cocente delusione subita nella Liga, il presidente blaugrana Joan Laporta fa il punto sul mercato e blinda i suoi gioielli. "Le cessioni sono praticamente decise - ha detto Laporta - Il club vuole che Ronaldinho ed Eto'o restino qui e il tecnico e' d'accordo. Me lo hanno confermato personalmente sia Samuel che Ronaldinho". (Agr)

it's on ultim'ora (lastminute news) on gazzetta.
I still think that Dinho could end up leaving - mostly for dressing room problems - but it would take some extra-special circumstances and offer for that to happen, otherwise he and etoo will not be put openly on the market.
I would guess that's what made Galliani act on Suazo - he probably made an official inquiry for etoo and dinho and received a no from both club and player and decided to look for the next best thing, so to speak ... with the added bonus of slapping Moratti in the face.
I consider EToo history for us given the Suazo transfer, so if we can't get Dinho, I think we'd be in place with this attack we have as I still want RO to be given another chance ... if not, maybe Quagliarella in for RO would be great given that the Italian can play as attacking mid too and that would come in handy.
The thing is that there is a ceratin deadline for the situation of co-owned players like Quagliarella to be cleared up between the two clubs - Udinese and Samp in his case - and if no agreement is reached, there is a blind auction where both clubs make bids and the higher bid take all the 100% of the players rights.
For such transfers, I believe the deadline is coming very soon - like 20th or 25th of June or something like that.
I personally wouldn't mind securing Quagliarella now and keeping him at Samp for another year while giving RO another chance.
