00:00On the contracts, I think you've mentioned going right to the end with the obviously tidy defenders now.

00:04Do you anticipate anything more soon or do you think it'll be a case of right at the end with the rest of them?

00:10Yeah, probably the end simply because the centre-backs are five now.

00:15You can't go out and recruit five centre-backs in a window.

00:20Liam, Jordan, Yuzi.

00:24So I'm looking at when we're about how we perform.

00:28We've had moments where one or two players have been like that throughout the season.

00:31We may be that team and we may have those players and that's how we perform,

00:35but we also then amongst them, we need six, seven, eight every week who we know what we're going to get

00:41and the centre-backs are performing well.

00:45So for us to tie those three down, we've added Lewis.

00:48We've always got Jack and Pat in there.

00:50We've sort of boxed off centre-back positions

00:56so we can forget about that for the summer, which is great.

01:00Other positions, we've got players under contract in those positions.

01:05And like I said, when we're not flush in terms, we're not a team that's going to go out and spend transfer fees

01:10and split £20 million amongst 10 players.

01:13That's not us, so my money's in the building, if you get what I mean.

01:17So we have to make sure that we have the most flexibility we can have come the summer.
