00:00yeah lucas uh i got a message sunday morning which shows how late in the day it was before any of
00:06this became knowledge you know leads were agonizingly close really to getting their first
00:11deal of the summer done and announced without without word coming out in the media um and then
00:18you know spoke to leads and leads confirmed and said yep we'll be doing this one very soon um
00:23you know even at that stage whilst i knew he was in the country to sign i didn't realize that the
00:28announcement would come quite so soon um and it was all done and dusted by you know mid-afternoon
00:34um first signing through the door big and functional in your words um obviously quite experienced now
00:42he's been around the block a little bit uh he's had his fair share of injuries in recent times
00:47but he was out of contract at wolfsburg and uh i think the two-year deal probably reflects
00:54a lot about how leads see this deal they see him as a squad player they see him as a player that yes
00:58he comes with a bit of a an injury cv as farco would say um but he's a player that they think
01:06can help and uh it's an interesting one because it has ramifications doesn't it you know there's
01:12a natural question that comes with this transfer when you see a player who's probably going to be
01:17on the bench probably coming on late in games to maybe try and change things maybe being brought on to
01:23try and see games out or to try and rescue a point or go for a win that's what patrick bamford was doing
01:31last season
