Crewe boss Dario Gradi has revealed that he's had a bid to lure Chris Lucketti to Gresty Road knocked back by the veteran defender.
Lucketti has made just one appearance for Sheffield United in the Premiership this season and Gradi was hoping to renew acquaintances with the versatile 35-year-old defender.
"I knew that Chris had turned down a couple of loan opportunities already, but out of courtesy I rang Neil (Warnock) to see if there was a chance that he may have been interested in coming here," Gradi told the club's official website.
"I've known Chris for a number of years because he was once here as a kid when I first arrived at Crewe.
"Neil told me that Chris had passed on his regards, but he didn't want to do anything until after Christmas which is fine.
"It could be a possibility then, but it will depend on our situation and how we are fitness wise."
