I will now spend a short period of time to rest, recharge my batteries before contemplating my future

Players don't need rest. If someone is injured and needs time to recuperate, that's one thing. But players need to go out and play. One of the things that can happen if you take a player off the field is that he loses his edge by standing on the sidelines.

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.
