absolutely anything because if you can look at a player who went on trial to Manchester United when he was six years of age and subsequently left that day they'll still fit it in former Manchester United trainee on the verge of signing for such and such and this is just the way it goes I think it's look maybe I'm just being as optimistic as I possibly can be but when it comes to a window especially when you saw what happened last summer with how late Sesco was acquired I think it's best to judge how successful a window has been when it's going to close

Sam PilcherGUEST
And when we're impatient and with all my experience and how many transfer windows I have seen, you know, we get a bit brattish and a bit impatient and going, oh, why haven't we signed, you know, three world-class players already? And we go into the season already and, you know, they all turn up first day of pre-season.

Sam PilcherGUEST
It doesn't work like that because, of course, the transfer market, and we have to acknowledge as well, if you look across the whole Premier League, it's been strangely quiet.

Sam PilcherGUEST
players can't be spoken to or got or, you know, waiting to see their values might go up or down based on it.

Sam PilcherGUEST
But it is a jigsaw for the whole of European football and you just have to wait your turn.
