When the technical director at Valencia decided to sign him I gave him every support.
It is important for the manager to be able to say to players they want to sign that they will be playing in the Champions League.
Who else I sign depends on the market, maybe one, maybe two more,
We tried until the very end to sign Michael. We even made phone calls early yesterday morning. In the end, it was impossible.
As I keep saying I want to sign a central defender and not a forward.
There is now a lot of money in football and teams want to sign the best players.
It's not easy. The top sides like to sign managers with experience, maybe in another country, so it's always a vicious circle.
