area break coming confident decisions fit forward hopefully itself manager picking push ready season squad table team tough
We've got the international break coming up, though, so hopefully all but Luque will be ready after that. I'll look forward to that because as a manager you want to have tough decisions to make. The team has been picking itself this season but with a fully fit squad then I'll be confident we can push up the table and get to an area in the table where we want to be.

To say I am suicidal about the current state of affairs is not far off the mark,

We have shown an interest in him; we have made an inquiry. He has the most incredible scoring record in Dutch football. Many people have described him as a young Alan Shearer, but whether that's true or not I don't know.

We'll see what happens over the next six months but I certainly wouldn't close any doors.
certainly close enjoying enormous ground happened happens last next pack player playing ready recent since six training year
We'll see what happens over the next six months, but I certainly wouldn't close any doors. It would have to come from him, but if he's still playing like he has in recent weeks, he has an enormous part to play. I said last year that I do not see a player on the training ground who is ready to pack in and there's nothing that's happened since which suggests that has changed. It's like everything - if you're enjoying it, why stop?
club situation
I don't think we'll be the only club who are monitoring Michael's situation at Real Madrid.
brought club football good players sticking terms unlucky
I don't think I've done anything wrong. I know that I've brought some very good players to this football club and I know that we've been desperately unlucky in terms of injuries, but I'm sticking at it.

Fortunately for England, he will be fine. By about Wednesday or Thursday, he should be okay.
