00:00How satisfied are you with the business you've been able to do this week,
00:03Chiesa and Mamadou Ashvili,
00:05and what chance is there of maybe another signing on deadline day?
00:09Again, a lot of questions in one question.
00:12Of course we're happy with the ones we signed,
00:14because I said many times that it's difficult for us to make the team even stronger,
00:19because we already have a very strong team,
00:21and if we then find them, of course we're very happy with that.
00:25Chiesa is someone who can help us for the short term,
00:28and Mamadou Ashvili, I think I pronounced it really well,
00:35is one of the examples where this club did very well in the past,
00:40that we look also at the long-term future of the club,
00:44and that's why we signed him.
00:47Any chance of...?
00:49Oh, yeah, that was your last question.
00:52I'm not expecting anything, but again,
00:55it's no different than all the days before,
00:58if we see an opportunity we could act, but I'm not expecting anything.
01:02I just wanted to ask you about Kelleher with Mamadou Ashvili coming in next summer,
01:05and his long-term future.
01:07How do you see it, because you've got two years left on this contract,
01:09but obviously it's going to be a different competition for places,
01:12with Mamadou Ashvili coming in,
01:14so at his age I'd imagine he's got a decision to make on his future, hasn't he?
01:17Maybe, but we have to make decisions as well, it's not only the player.
01:22I think if you work at a club like Liverpool you need competition
01:26and we need a lot of good players,
01:28and like I said, Ashvili is someone for the long future of the club,
01:32and I'm really, really happy with the goalkeepers we have at the moment.
01:36Kweef is one of them, like Fita and Ali,
01:41so we're in a good place when it comes to goalkeepers for now and for the long term.
