00:00Would you like him a fielder before Monday? Is it something you can do, do you think?

00:04No, as I said, you'd always like one, but liking one, affording one, getting one is totally different.

00:12But you say that for every position, but as I said, we did our business early, what we needed to do.

00:17One, of course, like I said, what's the point in waiting till the end and wasting games?

00:22Two, we've got two players who are desperate to come here and fit into what we're about, which is great.

00:28So now we've got that balance, we've got the squad that we need, but we have to be ready.

00:35So at the drop of that, something happens or an opportunity is created, either way, then we have to be ready.

00:41I read yesterday, apparently, Biv's gone in for a tickle at Wigan. Any truth in that, anything you can say?

00:46No, I think you've asked me these questions often enough to know what the answer is going to be.

00:53It's the same all the time and sometimes you laugh, sometimes it's mischief on other people's part,

00:59sometimes it's agents looking to help their players.

01:04But as I said before, we're looking at so many players, so many players we've got.

01:09We want to be in a position that come the summer, we know we're making good decisions on our own players.

01:16We know with the lone players we're losing or people who want to leave here,

01:20that we've got a number of realistic targets that we can go and get.

01:27And do you know what? We could have a list of one to five for every position we think we might need.

01:32And you never get your plan A, never.

01:35So there'll be many of them lists for what position, where there's none on that five come

01:39and you have to adapt and roll with it and get someone else.

01:42So, yeah, that's always ongoing.

01:45But I'm never going to say yes or no to any names you mention.
