No he didn't.
After the match against Chelsea, he got asked a very direct question - will anyone be coming in to Goodison this month - and he gave a one word, very definitive answer - "no".
He was asked was he close to signing anyone on loan this Jan mate? Could be wrong like, i was corrected in the Pub in the last night by a mate who reckoned he just said we wernt close, didnt push it because i didnt see it.
