I never wanted to sell him but there is a good player in Germany who I would have liked to have signed on loan but that isn't going to happen now by the look of it.

Brian knows that he was robbed in Germany but I believe that is all behind him now and he's ready to put on a good show,

We had a very good first half, got careless in the second, but in fairness to Portsmouth they never gave in.

When Milan spoke with me and told me about this guy, I never asked for any assurances. The chairman just said 'I'm looking to do something with someone Harry. It's going to be good for the club, they desperately want you this that and the other', so I said 'that's fine'. It sounds as if he will be exciting for the club.

As soon as anyone interferes with what I do I'll be out of here,

The boy is really an influential playmaker, and you can't have too many of those. This is a massive signing.
