00:00I've had numerous conversations with Cole
00:03and he seems very, very happy to be here.
00:05He is very, very happy to be here.
00:07He's a huge part of our plans in the long term.
00:09He's an outstanding player.
00:11Every player goes through difficult moments in their careers in terms of injury.
00:14I don't think it's any reflection on his qualities.
00:16He's an outstanding footballer.
00:18But my job and the club's job is to get him in a place
00:22where he can consistently perform at the level that he wants to.
00:26And there was frustration in the Brentford game,
00:28not because he wasn't happy here, just because he couldn't perform.
00:32He was in pain.
00:33He couldn't perform to the level he wanted to do for the club.
00:35He's a great kid and he's an outstanding player.
00:38But we have to make sure that we look after him in the right way.
00:41That's why I haven't involved him in the last game.
