If he can get in the Spain team, as he should be, he could be the main player in the World Cup. He's that good.

I thought Forest's bid was quite close to his true value. The closer I get to the window closing, the more I start to panic.

We've just got to work with what we've got at the moment, and everybody gave their best and that's all you can ask.

In fairness to him the lad can play. He's got pace and he can score goals but he needs to concentrate on his game rather than falling over every time he's touched.

Both players will add a great deal to our squad.

I thought we deserved the draw.

It's nice to win one-nil, I get that from me old manager. I'd rather win one-nil than win three-two.
