As the "deadline day frenzy" is in full swing today, I got thinking about if we have actually ever signed a player on deadline day?

 

The only one I can remember off the top of my head was Idiakez. Are there any more?

Surley that still counts as a signing?

 

It does, but it isn't subject to the same deadlines so it doesn't. Hope that clears things up. :)

Higginbotham and Prutton one year, quite a while ago now though obviously.

 

I remember being well pleased with that bit of business, Prutton was Under 21 skipper and Higginbotham was just off the back of a brilliant spell at Derby and they were gutted to loose him. The club had a really positive feel around it in those days little did we know how soon it would all fall apart!

Eight years ago now. I remember that day well, was doing a project in the labs at Uni and saw this come through on the computer I was using. Such happy days, Premiership mainstays, just embarking on a run to the cup final and 18 years old. What a time it was!

Thought I saw a headline on the OS on Tues saying 'Adkins - we will not panic buy'. Can't see it there now - any significance? As at 5pm it seems we haven't panic bought so far......
