00:00I've had numerous conversations with Cole
00:03and he seems very, very happy to be here.
00:06He is very, very happy to be here.
00:07He's a huge part of our plans in the long term.
00:10He's an outstanding player.
00:12Every player goes through difficult moments in their careers
00:14in terms of injury.
00:15I don't think it's any reflection on his quality.
00:17He's an outstanding footballer.
00:19But my job and the club's job is to get him in a place
00:23where he can consistently perform at the level that he wants to.
00:27And there was frustration in the Brentford game,
00:29not because he wasn't happy here,
00:31just because he couldn't perform.
00:33He was in pain.
00:33He couldn't perform to the level he wanted to do for the club.
00:36He's a great kid and he's an outstanding player.
00:39But we have to make sure that we look after him in the right way.
00:42That's why I haven't involved him in the last game.
