Could well be the case, my point was to say to BG that the nature of the transfer process will often mean last minute deals particularly in Jan; AK was exception rather than rule.
How do you know this is not the case? We did well with AK as clearly the only club that made an offer and/or Standard Liege missed a trick in not hawking him round more; other clubs may want to hang on to get best deal. Or, alternatively we are keeping options open. Could be many reasons...
