“You never know if it is true or not. It's strange that they do things like that. They had planned it for several months. He was a little bit shocked when he realized it was a set-up, but now it's okay. He has spoken to them [the players] and he's rather relaxed about the media. It's no problem at the moment.”
“When I came back I told Sven he was a player to watch out for. He's special. His touch is excellent and he can beat people with pace and technique. He has the attributes necessary in today's football. We wanted to see him in a first team and he's done very well for Southampton. The next thing is to see him in the Premiership. He's perhaps even ready to play in the under-21s.”
“He's been very sharp in every training session he's played with us, but particularly over the last couple of days. I hope that he can take that into the game now.”
