It’s hypothetical and irrelevant of course, but a deal could have been done earlier under such circumstances. |  |

I would guess he wasn’t above Hackney on our wish list. |  | |  |

We can't know for certain. However, its not a panic buy. It feels a pretty astute piece of business. Edit...not implying you were saying it was a panic buy [Post edited 27 Aug 22:20]

Maybe not but Hackney turned us down didn’t he! |  | |  |

Yep, likely. Nothing wrong with that, but I don’t see a reason why we have to pretend he wasn’t first (or even second) choice. We’ve made the most of his contract situation and that could have happened at the start of the window. None of that means he’s a bad signing. He could well be what we’re missing.
