00:00 Can I get your reaction to the fact that Harry Maguire is not now joining West Ham?
00:03 From your perspective, what happened to ensure that that deal didn't go through?
00:07 The process, that's what I don't know.
00:13 Only Harry is a player for us, he's a well-credited player for us.
00:18 I'm happy he's here.
00:20 So we need a good squad.
00:22 We have four good centre-halves, even with Luke Shaw, if you count him, we have five.
00:27 We need that because we go in to play 50, 60 games this season.
00:33 All the players are internationals, so we have a lot of load to cover.
00:40 So I'm very happy Harry Maguire is here.
00:43 He has to fight for his position, as everyone in the squad.
00:47 So we construct a squad with double positions, but we need it.
00:53 When you say he has to fight for his place,
00:54 realistically what do you think he can expect in terms of game time?
00:58 What opportunities will there be for him?
01:00 It's up to him.
01:01 What does he have to show you?
01:04 He knows what I expect from him.
