00:00Exchange lasted sort of conversation messages over a couple of hours and I felt
00:07If I kept him on the phone long enough, I'd wear him down and
00:11He's falling asleep at the end. I think so
00:13I've got a sense pretty early on that
00:15Yeah, there was a connection there and he was hearing what he wanted to hear. I said, it's a big decision
00:19He's a 19 year old man at a fantastic football club
00:23They would be quite happy to sort of keep him there. I'm sure
00:27But he also knew that he needs to play but not just play, play where he's going to develop
00:32I think it's a credit to him then rather than just sort of jump at whatever came to him
00:36He was really thorough in the way he made his decision
