We were looking for a very good keeper, who has the ambition to play, but also knows Paul Robinson is in front of him,

He was keen to return home and, although we rate him highly here, we did not like to see him unhappy.

We do have to buy players like Real Madrid and AC Milan so we can't say our philosophy is just to use young players, ... We will bring players in from outside and inside but it is up to me and the academy to make sure the players are good enough.

It is an excellent deal for us because Pedro gives us more options in midfield and brings with him experience in European competition.

Our target is to find an academy player and bring him through to the first team in two years' time.

That's not my area,
