"There are too many players who would be happy to sit back and pick up their money, but he's not one. He wants to play first-team football and he's at a stage where he has to play. We will have to see what comes up for him."

"There is a buzz around the place. There has been a lot of nonsense going on, but the one thing that has remained solid is the dressing room. They are a good group and it is important to be focused - then we might just get there."
