00:00I don't think anything's been officially done at this present moment in terms of signing.
00:06I think there's something there for sure.
00:08I think this is a player that we see as a development player and a project in that sense.
00:14But I think as of right now, that paperwork's not been signed.
00:18But yeah, there's definitely something in that for sure.
00:21Yeah, it probably can excite. I get the excitement around it.
00:24I think it would be really unfair to heap a huge amount of pressure on a young boy.
00:30Obviously, he's coming here in that sense and knowing why he's coming here in that sense
00:35in terms of development and how we see it.
00:37So I wouldn't want to heap any more pressure that's probably already on him.
00:41Of course, I get the excitement around it with the links to obviously his father.
00:47But I think we probably just need to dampen that down a little bit
00:51just in terms of there's a young 20-year-old boy here who hopefully comes in
00:57but has got a lot to do in that sense.
00:59Different culture, different way of working, no doubt.
01:02Different lifestyle. So yeah, probably just dampen that down a little bit.
