00:00If you're going to strengthen the squad, you have to go and sign someone that's going to come into the start 11

00:04because that naturally improves the squad where, say, they did sign right wing, had Jacob Murphy then become a squad player.

00:10I mean, probably with PSR and stuff, you have to be a bit more savvy in terms of players that you're buying.

00:14Maybe you do have to look to buy squad players rather than starters,

00:18but the right-hand forward position is a position that they absolutely need to sign a starter for.

00:22And that's no knock on Jacob Murphy because I do think, to say to be in this position he is now,

00:27you know, ask me when the Saudis first came in, who would be one of the first players out of the door and he would have been first.

00:32Yeah, he was like your 24th, 25th man, wasn't he?

00:35It was him, like the Javier Mankios of the world who are no longer here, Paul Dummett, Matt Ritchie, he was in that group.

00:42I remember having that conversation, he was probably in that group.

00:45But he, like several others, Undidy Howe has grown with the team and has been a very, very important squad player

00:52and now a first-team player.
