It has emerged that Coventry City had arranged to take Liverpool's young Spanish striker Dani Pacheco ton loans for the season, but Liverpool have now decided against the move.
Pacheco was on loan at Norwich last season and scored one of their goals in the 2-2 with Coventry in the last game of last season, but Liverpool rate the player so highly they might decide to use him in their own squad during the coming season.
Andy Thorn, though disappointed in losing out on such a highly rated young player has now turned his attention elsewhere in his search for a replacement for Marlon King.
Thorn revealed to the CT:“We were very close on Dani and got knocked back. We thought we had him in the bag but these things happen, but that’s the type of quality we are looking at and now we are waiting on another player, well there’s a couple, from Premiership clubs but we will have to wait another ten or 12 days before we get answers as to whether we can take them on loan."
“There’s no urgency at the moment but I don’t want to bring anyone in who isn’t better than what we have got. But we will bring a body, or bodies, in but it has to be at the right time."
“Whoever comes in will also have to fit into the group because we have got a buzz going now. I know it’s frustrating for the supporters but we are trying to bring people in, but we are waiting on a couple of phone calls because being Premiership clubs they start back a little later than us and we are waiting to see if they will be used in their squads.”
