Have you heard anything about a move for Andrija Zivkovic Ed? I thought he was Benfica bound to replace Gaitan. This would be another incredible piece of business if we pulled it off.

{Ed007's Note - I thought he was going to Benfica too until I seen your post. What a signing he'd be but I just can't see it happening. I don't know why the Benfica move didn't happen but here's what we've got on him:

Andrija Zivkovic has been of sustained interest to Atletico Madrid and Chelsea with Real Madrid, Valencia, Liverpool, Manchester City, Arsenal, Spurs, Benfica and Cagliari all watching the player. Chelsea were looking to sign Zivkovic last summer and send him on loan, and Real Madrid has made similar advances that were also rebuffed. But it was Atletico who were probably best placed to complete a January deal - but could not get by complex ownership issues involving Pini Zahivi needing to be resolved first. He has recently popped up on Arsenal’s list of youngsters again.}

Has his deal fell through with Benfica?

{Ed007's Note - I've no idea, I thought it was done and dusted.}

I thought it was done and dusted too but read an article earlier which mentioned that the Serbian press have linked us with him in the last few days. Doubt it will happen but its the type of signing we should be trying to make. Sometimes feel we are scared of being turned down so don't even attempt to sign players who might actually be within our reach. Hopefully today is a sign of things to come.

LM67, I've sensed that fear of rejection for quite a long time. My dad always told me you're not a loser for failing, but you're a loser for fear of trying. This is the type of signing we should have been making all along. Every window there seems to be deals where I scratch my head thinking, 'why weren't we in there early for a piece if that? ' Well now there are a few clubs that will be looking at us kicking thenselves. By the sound of what the lad has to say as well, he didn't need to be dragged up to Glasgow. Just goes to show.
