Today it is generally confirmed by all that Everton were the Transfer Deadline Day winners but it could have been even better, Pranjic was the one that got away.
Danijel Pranjic (Danny to his mates) claims he came close to joining Everton yesterday, only for Bayern Munich to dash his dreams of making a move to Goodison
The Croatia international is out of favour at the Allianz Arena and was open to the prospect of moving to Everton and lining up alongside his mate Jelly. Everton were apparently prepared to offer him a route out of Bayern.
Pranjic, who can operate in defence or in midfield, saw Bayern block his path, though, with their unrealistic demands causing talks to break down.
Danny said: 'I had an agreement with Everton for two-and-a-half years.'
'I was ready to board a plane and I was really happy because I knew that Everton were serious and that they had big plans for me.'
'But now it is all over and this is a catastrophe. I can't describe the negative feelings I have. Bayern wanted so much money that everybody knew that Everton would not pay.'
'I'm so unhappy because I was sure that I would be leaving Bayern. I don't play and now the opportunity to play in the Premier League has gone. I'm so unhappy.'
