A lot can change.

with those players and at their clubs between now and the summer.

But yeah, it seems like we may well go back to them.

We do seem with other players to have looked at them and had them on the spreadsheet, as it were, across multiple windows.

So, including with Caballero, you know, it sounds like we were looking at him in the summer.

So, as I say, it's a sensible way to do things, isn't it?

If you miss out on somebody once, it doesn't mean you have to give up on it altogether.

Yes, there's another piece out today from Neil Allen saying that he was a plan B before.

It didn't all happen on the final day.

He was another one on the list and they kind of made sure of what their chances were of getting him.

and what they would need to do and how the logistics would work out on deadline day if we didn't get Graham I think they must have known that they perhaps weren't going to get Graham and therefore wanted a fairly solid backup plan and it seems like this it does end up being a bit last minute doesn't it if you're doing it on the final day so I think he had his medical in Oslo

which is fine, you know, you don't have to have the medical at the club where you're signing, as long as the club are happy that it's been done properly and they can trust it.

So it was all done in Oslo and the deal was done.

It just shows, doesn't it?

A lot of work goes into things behind the scenes for any of these deals to happen, especially when, you know, so many of these

Player deals now are international, aren't they?

They're players coming here from abroad or going in the other direction.

That's more and more the case, certainly with Pumpy, you know, you look at who we've signed and where we've signed people from in recent years, that's the way of it.

So you have to have a good network of people in place, not just here but elsewhere, who can do some of the legwork for you.

but no he sounds another good addition doesn't he don't think we're going to see him for a week or two but six foot four I think you know comes comes back to your your thing of always needing you a couple of six foot four six foot five players are always handy especially in the championship everybody else has got more than us yeah there was a there was a moment in the West Brom game on Saturday where
