Just spoke to a first teamer who says that he thinks Dramani is signing on loan BUT Dramani hasn't trained for the past couple of days so he isn't quite sure what is happening. Seems a bit up in the air doesn't it?!

yeah, i was quite surprised when he approached me telling me dramani was signing before i had chance to mention it, said his brother had phoned him to tell him. Then last night he told me that he had gone back to Ghana and will be returning Saturday, there is no way this guy would make anything up, so suppose we will just have to wait and see what happens now! oh and yes no stepping out of line Mr Knowlesy

Doesn't sound like the Lokomotiv President has even informed Stoke about his apparent change of heart re Dramani.
Sentinel says the club are "investigating the validity of comments from Moscow that seemed to spell the end of their hopes of immediately signing Dramani".

Haminu hopes for Stoke deal Ghanaian eager to play in the Premier League By Giscard Gourizro Last updated: 22nd August 2008
Haminu Dramani is hoping Lokomotiv Moscow will not block his loan move to Stoke City.
The Premier League new boys had revealed a six-month loan deal has been agreed to bring Dramani to the Britannia Stadium.
However, Lokomotiv have responded by saying they will not sanction the Ghana international's move until the end of the Russian domestic season in November.
Dramani is eager to link up with the Potters and is anxious for Lokomotiv to not ruin his 'dream' of playing in the Premier League.
Best league "It is news to me," Dramani told skysports.com in response to reports Lokomotiv will not allow him to leave.
"I am looking forward to my debut, hopefully the clubs will reach an agreement.
"I have dreamed about this moment of joining a Premier League club. This is the best league in the world.
"No disrespect to the Russian league, but all the best players play their football here.
"I hope the two clubs can agree. I love the Premier League and, though the Russians gave me a chance to be in Europe, hopefully they will reach an agreement."

Knowlesy, has he been at the club before over the summer? Is it the guy in white? If so Im pretty sure I saw him waiting outside the club shop with a youngster after the final whistle.

Seems at bit strange if they will block a move now when Lokomotiv Moscow has allowed him to train with us, has allowed him to go home to Ghana, while Lokomotive played a league game yesterday. Doesn't seem like they need him so badly. Lokomotive Moscow is also in the middle of their league, so it doesn't seem like they're fighting for the championship or against relegation. Europe is of course still a possibility.

Not sure about him. Don't want to dis' a player before he's signed for us nevermind kicked a ball for us but I don't like the way he's transfixed on the number 5 in the picture a few posts above. Something not right there.

This is one of the more confusing transfer chases in recent times.
Schols still seemed pretty confident on Friday in his Sky interview, but following the comments from Russia, and his apparent appearance on the Lokomotiv bench, it isn't sounding very good, is it?
It looked nailed-on with talk of a medical last midweek, but it's entered the black hole of confusion that seems to surround a large percentage of our moves in the transfer market.

Looks like it, and then there wasn't true he was back in Ghana this weekend. And if my Russian is good he has just played 3 league games ( 159 minutes) this season, and probably 45 min in a cup competition ( This as i know he just played in 3 games last year) So it doesn't seem like he's playing a big part in their season.

If he hasn't been playing much for them it makes it all the more odd if they are refusing to let him go until the end of their season.

The Russian league is pretty strong these days, look what Zenit St Petersburg did in the Cup winners cup, and the Russians in Euro 2008 with all but one home based players. Could be their game as much as his quality. I know some other good foreigners have struggled there.
