00:00Osmeich has been a few links to European clubs, has there been any offer?

00:05No, you guys do that linking, haven't you? I told you.

00:07You have to stuff your life, nonsense.

00:09See something written in Spain and so you publish it.

00:12What do you think, seriously, with two years left he'd command fee-wise?

00:16Obviously you don't want to sell him, he started great, he's scoring goals.

00:19Have you seen what some of the players have lost for?

00:22He's not for sale, no one's going to give us that, so he's not for sale.

00:26I mean, yeah, so two weeks left of the win there, there's absolutely no way you'd...

00:30Don't forget, you pick a number, we've got to go and then find a player better than Millie, haven't we?

00:36So, if you're asking me, you know, it's...

00:40How do you compare the Osmeich you inherited a year ago, I think Tuesday or Wednesday was you being here a year?

00:46Yeah, well I remember that day, I remember seeing him run about in there,

00:50it was a reserve game, yeah, and he was pressing everywhere,

00:53making thousands of runs in behind, but not really complaining if the ball didn't come to him,

00:58so you could see what, straight away I could see what he was as a player and as a striker

01:02and how he could use him.

01:07Yeah, two things probably.

01:09More coachable than I was led to believe when I came in,

01:13and also speaks better English than I was led to believe when he came in.

01:17So, yeah, great character, good lad, and I think I said straight away, didn't he?

01:22He'll score goals, he'll score goals, and he works hard and he's got a joy about scoring goals as well.

01:29Yeah, I think he got eight first year in the league, nine last year, do you think he can be pushing double that?

01:34Yeah, for me he's a 20 goal a season striker, playing in the championship, definitely 20 plus, that's how I see him.

01:43He thinks he should have already had more goals now, which you'd say, do you know what I mean?

01:46The good thing is he's getting the chances, which is great.

01:49So, yeah, I think he is, I think he is, I've said that before, and obviously how we start the season,

01:56he's just reinforcing that, he's not going to change my mind.

01:59Do you know when he's here it is, or not, something in the background that people would like to put clarity on?

02:03I think it's next month.

02:04Next month sometime?

02:05I think so, yeah.

02:06Some form of clarity would be good on that, won't it? It's just there, or are you not really thinking about it?

02:13It's dragged on, isn't it?

02:14Yeah, listen, I would love it to have been done and dealt with, but it's not, so we can't, yeah, what can we do about it?

02:21We've got to go through the process, an idea to the process, and then, yeah, deal with the outcome afterwards.
