ahead aware fantastic far guarantee happen kid might past planning six talent
I don't know what will happen tomorrow. I might not be here myself, who knows? I won't guarantee anything, but as far as I'm aware nothing has changed. We're planning ahead with Theo at the club. He's done very well for us and we want to keep him for as long as possible. He's a fantastic talent. When you've got a talent like that there is always going to be speculation but the kid handles it well - he's experienced it for the past six months.

Saul did well in the first couple of matches of the season but he knows there is competition for places now,

Every point is important. It's very difficult to say but I think you've got to look at 50 points to be totally safe.

We have spoken to Paul and his agent and are getting closer. He's a smashing player and a great character in the dressing room too. He simply enjoys his football.
