00:00Alastair Lloren is a player that I've wanted to sign for probably the last two and a half years, really, and never...
00:06When I was at Bournemouth, I was in touching distance of signing him, but it didn't materialise.
00:12I'm very pleased that I managed to get that sort of player. He's always a player that's hugely respected in terms of his quality,
00:20physical attributes, what he is as a driver in those moments. I'm pleased to have him in.
00:25Coming back to his old stadium was obviously maybe a little bit risky for me, and it certainly crossed my mind, a player coming back,
00:31the emotion of that, how one maybe tries too hard, but he was first-class today.
