Owen Coyle's bid to sign exciting Argentina Under 20 wide man Marcelo Carrusca on loan from Galatasary has hit a major stumbling block and looks unlikely to go ahead.

A discrepancy with the Istanbul side appear too difficult to overcome before tonight's midnight deadline.

However, Coyle hopes to resurrect the transfer in the summer.

"I'm disappointed the Carrusca thing hasn't come off, because that would have been an exciting one for us and the supporters to get an Argentinian international who cost $7m US dollars," the Burnely boss said.

"But that was an uncontrollable, as they say, from our point of view.

"We did our very best, that's the bottom line.

"So we move on, and come back stronger for the disappointment."

He added: "I've been chasing that one for five weeks, and you think everything has been overcome until the last hurdle.

"It's not a straight-forward transfer between two English clubs, Argentinian lawyers and a Turkish club are involved, so it was never going to be straight-forward.

"You prepare yourself, at any given point, for it to fall down, and that's what's happened.

"It is probably something we would like to do in the summer."
