00:00 there wasn't anyone happier than me when we got him. I was delighted. And to be fair,
00:05 I've even sort of, I wouldn't say surprised, but I've enjoyed the footballer I've got.
00:14 And just the way he's embraced the whole club, where he's at in his life, he really wants
00:19 to be the person who is that creative force for us. And he's embraced every part of our
00:28 sort of football model. He works hard, wins the ball back for us, he presses, it's not
00:33 like he's out there and just come to life and we've got the ball. But he's had a disrupted
00:39 week, he only had one session with us, but for him to put on a performance like that
00:44 is a credit to him. And I think there's more to come. I think once we get more understanding,
00:49 he gets more understanding with his teammates, particularly the forward players, and they
00:54 get a better understanding from him, I think he's going to keep improving. I'm delighted
01:01 we've got him. If we got him in the bargain bin, mate, whatever you want to call it, that's
01:06 great for us.
