We spoke about lapses of concentration and things which he had to put right and, in this match, he put it all in. I’m delighted he’s taken it on board. I can’t consider sending him out on loan again. I’ve got a squad of players who are still in the cup and have some important league matches coming up. I can understand his concerns. With a World Cup in the summer he needs to impress his manager but, on that performance against Fulham, he can definitely do that. — Bryan Robson
I wouldn’t have wanted to come here unless we were definitely pushing for a European spot. I think we’re definitely capable of that, given the squad we’ve got. — Jermaine Jenas
