Rapinha drama seems to be continuing even though Chelsea are actually closer to getting him, I think the competition between chelsea and barcelona to get Rapinha will actually confuse Deco who is a former barcelona and chelsea player who is also Rapinha agent right now 
, now it seems like it will be difficult to predict where Rapinha is going will continue his career because in terms of money it is clear that Chelsea are more able to buy Rapinha from Leeds united while for interest in playing it seems that Rapinha really prefers Barcelona as his team next season, so for now we can only see how the drama will end later.

Because you just know that if you take too long, another team (or teams) will get involved, and you may end up not being able to get your man.
There's a lot to be said for the Aston Villa approach, they made a couple of great signings right at the start of the summer, before any other club had even woken up. You just know if they were trying to sign Kamara and Diego Carlos now they'd have no chance, both players would get picked up by bigger clubs.
