I remember us going after John Murphy. Usual story, interest, crap offer, interest

increased crap offer.

Didn't sign him

Parker though. I remember at the time Curbishley lent us him on the strict deal that he was only coming to us to get matches. It was heavilly implied that they knew just how good he was, and he was in line to be Kinsella's replacement/being primed to play along side him

The only other, obvious time I've seen this happen, was Ashley Cole's loan to Palace, under the same circumstances
