Still Presser....
Feel as if we have had same conversation since start of pre season (transfers)
Stuff being worked on, taking longer than all hoped
We are trying to unlock things, to make things happen
ignoring the speculation, only focusing on players that are here and who want to win games
Let people upstairs crack on with transfers, I can't control that
There will be players leaving, should see that be end of week
There are a load of situations happening.
National team managers telling players they need to be in top 5 leagues
We are working on it, there is activity going on
Championship is equal to some of the top leagues
We have spoken to Kabore, I have worked well with City, it is an option, we are negotiating
He is a good player, has a few qualities
There is a new name every week, the list is long, we want good players in the right conditions
Finn scores goals, and is a good player. Slow progress with Eduard.
There are agendas here, and other seem to struggle with negotiations
No idea if Eze moving will open up the market. I read it the same moment as everyone else
Tyler is fine, he has trained really well, he is relaxed just like Matty
They will both be involved, 100%. We have 24 players fit but we can only select 18
We will have to make choices, and it will be footballing choices not around the speculations
Mark Robbins is good, would love to have his experience. What he did at Cov was very good.
He is turning Stoke into a very good team, it will be a big test on Sat
We have watched them, we know what to expect. We need to be at very high levels to get anything
Rome was not built in a day, it takes time. Stoke are getting it right, and that is football
We have done well, but we need to take away the mistakes that led to goals, that is being hypercritical
We are still progressing and working on it, glimpses are there
We are going to stand up, be accountable, be solid and have a right go
Got to pick up points, keep winning, be demanding and eradicate the mistakes - we are getting there
I think the lads said it better, we are getting there as 3 months ago we lose by 3 or 4 when going down 1-0 early
This week has been vital on the training ground with no midweek game
yesterday we hit really high numbers in training, players have not done this before
we are getting the as fit as possible, been a good week.
Then it cuts for the ridiculous 1030pm watershed
