โI think the template of what we did last summer will be replicated.
โYou always go into a window and you don't know how you're going to come out of it, but you have to be really prepared.
โYou have to have a clear plan, you have to know exactly what positions you're looking to strengthen and you also have to be prepared for any eventuality.
โThere could be exits we're not expecting, there could be opportunities in the market that perhaps weren't there at the beginning of the window.
โSo, we have to be ready, we have to be agile and flexible. But we have a clear plan. Jason Wilcox and his team are very well set up to execute that plan.
โI do think what we saw last season is a good way forward for us, which is we want a mix of experience and youth, we want a mix of players who have demonstrated they can perform in the Premier League and perhaps also players who are doing very well outside the Premier League.
โBut we will always do it within our terms, ensuring that whatever decision we take is not just for the short term, but also for the long term.โ

โWe believe that we have the right coach, the right players and the right Setup to be able to compete in the Champions League, get closer to competing to win the Premier League and to also do well in the domestic cups.โ

"We had to make tough decisions, but the worst is now behind us.
โWe are in a much better position to continue growing and investing to bring the club where it belongs."

โI actually think that Ruben deserves a lot of credit for many things.
He went through a very difficult season last year. He was put under difficult circumstances, but he did help raise the standards in the dressing room.
โI do think that he's going to be a successful coach and I wish him all the best.
โBut, we did feel that we needed to make a change and in the end, it's worked out with Michael Carrickโ

โWe have to be really disciplined, it's simple. We have a plan, we know what we can Invest in and we have to stick to that.
โIn some cases, we may decide to make an investment knowing it's the right thing for not just the next two or three years, but the next 10 Years. But clearly, we need to stay very focused on what we're trying to achieve.
โIt's very important that you don't let the market or the agents dictate what we should be doing.
โWhen I look at the football leadership team, plus the investment we've made in Michael Sansoni director of Datal's team on the data side, we're in pretty good shape and I think the quality of the decisions will continue to improve as the team settles and we continue investing in those areas.โ

โThe four senior signings that we made last year have worked out really well. They've all played an important part in the success we've had.
โThey're all very different. Senne is way more mature beyond his years, Cunha is a very charismatic player and we've seen that on the pitch.
โBryan is a bit more quiet but as soon as he steps on the pitch he becomes a leader and Sesko has shown a hunger to improve every day he has been here and we've seen the results over the last few months.
โSo, I think we're very happy with the four senior signings we made, now we want to continue on that track, without forgetting that we have a squad that is hungry for winning and for success.โ

โOne of the goals that we've set out is to win the Premier League, the 21st title before 2028.
โSo, ideally, we do it next season and if not, then the following season.
โI think we're in a good place. Weโve seen some really good progress on the pitch this season.
We're going to continue building on that. Investment will be made in different areas of the club.โ
