Steve Morison has revealed why Cardiff's loan move for Sam Surridge fell through.
Cardiff were enquiring about strikers as Kieffer Moore headed down to Bournemouth, with Nahki Wells at Bristol City and Surridge at Stoke City on the radar.
The Robins rejected Cardiff's advances, insisting on a permanent deal if the striker departed.
However, Surridge looked like a viable option until Nottingham Forest came in at the 11th hour to sign the player on a permanent deal worth about £2m.
And Morison explained the circumstances surrounding Surridge ahead of the signing of Uche Ikpeazu.
STEVE MORISON:
"We made enquiries for a lot of people in different positions," the manager added.
"It’s amazing how quickly people think you make an enquiry and then it’s a done deal. A heck of a lot goes on after that.
"People like to talk and push this stuff through to people.
"People who know me know that when I tell them something it’s about to happen.
"There were lots of names linked but we got the ones we wanted.
"We weren’t doing anything permanently. We asked about Surridge, we asked about a loan but they wanted a permanent.
"That was that done and we moved on. We were relaxed. I was still in bed by 10pm so I was happy!"
