Hughes Presser....
Was a typical last day of window, deal drifted away previously then came back to us
we thought that it would not get done but all fell into place and we are delighted
very pleased with our window, we have strengthened every area of the pitch
Ings is on loan initially, it was why the negotiation took so long
both clubs had to be comfortable with the deal, win/win for both clubs
Danny wanted to come here and he has a point to prove
as manager, kept away from the mechanics of signing a player
I have the final say on players that get presented and it has worked very well this window
I have to give the final nod and every player presented were good enough to play for us
met Danny last night, the staff were in for meetings, including Mr Gao. Danny met everyone
Danny said from the off that he feels part of this club and really wanted to join
Danny is fit and available to play. we will see how he trains. He has had a good pre season already
We had to improve goal scoring. We have brought in Armstrong, Mo is going to be a real talent
Ings will complement what we have
we are in a better position now, definitely
Now the window is shut, all clubs know pretty much what they have. Obviously, there will be some outgoings on loan perhaps.
2-3 weeks of nonsense has now gone
Cedric has been back since monday. He was ill last week.
He is fit, played at the world cup, he will play we feel if he is ready and he is honest about his recovery
everyone else is fully fit and ready to play
there we go.
