We don't do business that way anymore , in the old days Dick Knight would have said we needed 5 players in and signed a no hoper to make the numbers up (Shane McFaul , 1 sub appearance and released less than 4 months later)
At least we haven't adopted the scatter-gun approach by our friends up the road putting bids for 250 players and then find out they've recruited too many.
Huddersfield turned down the bid , not surprising as they know we need a midfielder to replace Crofts for the rest of the season. The club doesn't need to get into a panic buy scenario.
