00:00Yeah, I'm not really sure where the uncertain future comes from, not from my behalf. I mean,
00:06when he was fit last year, he played all the time and he played well, you know, but it
00:10was quite evident that when he was missing, we were, you know, we had to play Sonny in
00:13there and we had to sort of cover areas. So, this is not about sort of, you know, replacing
00:20Richie or, you know, for us, it's about adding to our squad. We want to get stronger out
00:26of every transfer window we've had and, you know, from my perspective, I've seen Richie
00:32as part of what we're trying to build here and, like I said, last year when he played,
00:36he was very, very good for us.
00:39Do you think that he can still thrive if there's another, say, you know, big number nine like
00:43the profiles that are being discussed out there at the moment?
00:47I don't see why that would hamper. I'd like to think that, you know, us being stronger
00:52as a team, I think every player who's here would want us to get better. So, you know,
00:58I think if you want to be a club that challenges for trophies, you need to have a strong squad
01:03and that means having, you know, good quality players all over the park and I certainly,
01:10as I said, there was plenty of evidence last year to show that, you know, our absence has
01:17cost us a fair bit last year and I want to try and mitigate that.
