What they're saying

"
The three we currently have at the club are not of Premier League quality, so it is important to bring in a player with proven ability, so strengthen in this position. Ian: Get Gustavo Hamer's deal done. It will be a good squad player, and then we need a left-back and a centre-forward will be essential.
