Fulham upped their offer for Kyle Lafferty to £3million but were still rebuffed by Burnley on transfer deadline day.
The Clarets also retained the services of James O'Connor, despite interest from Championship rivals Leicester City and Stoke City.
Martin Allen was ready to line up an offer for the midfielder before the Foxes boss left the club by mutual consent last Wednesday.
And, as I understand it, the transfer window closed too early for Stoke boss Tony Pulis to attempt to take the Dubliner back to the Britannia Stadium on a permanent basis.
