However, sealing the transfer proved anything but straightforward."Probably early August I get a call, or my agent calls me and says 'Roy said that if they can do a deal with Fulham, he wants to take you to Liverpool'," Konchesky revealed on the Under the Cosh podcast. Mark Hughes was the [Fulham] manager [and said] you're not going anywhere, we haven't got anyone to take your place.

You've had this opportunity, I've never had it... it's never going to happen in my lifetime again'," Konchesky added."He said, 'you're not going anywhere, if we don't get anyone you're not going anywhere, so you're just going to be here until the end of the transfer window'. It wasn't until the dying moments of the month that a ray of hope emerged, though even then the deal almost collapsed."August 30, my agent's phoned and been like, 'We've been told we can go and have a medical and talk to them but you're not allowed to sign because they've still not got their player they want'.

So I had my medical in Liverpool - just in the hotel, really - and that night that deal fell through and [I got told] I had to go back."I said 'I'm not going back, f*** that, I'm not going'. My medical's done and my terms are agreed, all I had to do is sign."It's the 31st and it got to about midday and my agent went 'They're going to call us by 2pm', so by 3pm it was done.
