00:00I think if you look at the middle of the park we've got three really young players at the moment
00:05Sidi, Alex and Digi. Tom Davies has had his issues from an injury point of view as well
00:13an availability point of view and Oliad Blaster's 21-22 so you know incredibly inexperienced
00:21group of players there for a really important part of the pitch so you know I've gone on record
00:31saying that you know that needs bulking up and I think everybody recognises that and then with
00:39with the inexperience you don't sometimes get the consistency so I think there was six or seven
00:48things that we looked at from Jai's point of view. One was his availability, two was his experience,
01:00three was his quality, four he was at Palace for six or seven years you don't play at a Premier League
01:11club or being in around a Premier League club not to be a good player and one of them was obviously
01:20the injury situation there and the other one was the inexperience of the department and the seventh
01:28was his character which as you understand from my point of view is incredibly important the feedback
01:34that we got off people that we got some decent connections down at Palace still we're trying to
01:40help us out some closet chef well not closet chef United fans but we are we know where they are
01:45gave glowing references and the boy wanted to come as well which aren't you know we we had that we did
01:50see a few years ago it wasn't a trial you know he was he didn't have a club and a couple of moves that
01:59he was proposing to to make didn't materialise and and he and he wanted to come up and he's done everything
02:08right and um and we're delighted obviously the only one is his match minutes but he's a fit guy
02:15looked up for himself so we're looking forward to working with him
