Few more bits.....
Says going away for 4 days on a training camp in between friendlies - did not say where they were going.
Wants 24/25 players with a few versatile players/young ones as part of that - impressed with a few young uns but says some will be going to conference and need toughening up in mans football. Wants a fairly tight knit group.
Nothing in the Tafaozili link. Says agents throw players out there. Seems to suggest he is not a player he is interested in. Did not seem to be playing his cards close to his chest. Just seemed to dismiss it.
Linked with so many players but wont say anything till they are over the line.
Asked if any of transfer listed players have a chance to work way back in - says in an ideal world they would move on but if not they are contracted and the door is never shut. He says really they need to go and play somewhere else and wont be part of long term future - suggestion is we wont see any/many of them for SUFC again - he seemed quite steadfast on that
Left footed central midfield player needed - likes balance but admitted defence is priority at moment
Wants three centre backs in as he says he had not got any (Basham can play there - likes young Semple in the u21s but says he is 6 months off). CW says Basham is a central midfield player - says he is not someone who is going to kill you with passing but he has good energy and can get around. He wants a midfielder to be competent in all areas. Likes Whiteman and says he was impressed in the u21 final. He says Basham had a decent season but sees him first and foremost as a central midfielder but can do a job elsewhere
Discussed McNulty and says he is a goalscorer - told him if he wants a guaranteed place then he needs to move on but says he wants him to fight for his place. Says he is a good age and his types are priceless.
Duffy a player that has really impressed him. Says he is a player he has always liked. Can do job both ways but can create and score.
