Yeh I just found the comment... "And there's something else that may be being worked on - not a striker. Waiting to see how that one develops this afternoon."

Last year he did a piece and dropped names like Rak-Sakyi nearly happening as part of his review. Guessing it was probably a midfielder in the Meffert mould.

Well I for one am saying TGIF. At least tonight I can go to bed without during the middle of the night checking my phone to see if we have signed someone. I do know thats a really bad thing to do and feel ashamed of myself and should really sign up to the equivalent of AA for Transfer News Addicted Football Fans.

Apparently Hamburg wanted 1.5M euros for Meffert but we only offered £300K

We got €2 million for Tufan who’s a similar age and also had a year left on his contract and some of us (myself included) thought that was on the low side. €1.5 million seems reasonable for Meffert. £300k is just taking the piss on our part.
 
We bid £300k nearly two weeks ago and don’t improve the offer until deadline day, by which point Hamburg can’t find a replacement and decide to keep him.

We played chicken and lost.
Maybe we learnt a thing or 2 about how you handle your best players
