want’unhappy’players next season.”I would like to have the players we have today all season, I would enjoy it. I don’t have any grievances about the behaviour of the

players, “he stated.”However they will be unhappy, they will be unfortunate. They will be disappointed, I don’t desire that.”It’s not an issue for me, I can have more players to choose from– but I do not like having 5, 6 or seven players in the house if there’s no injuries.

“I don’t do it for me, it’s for them. That’s why we need to see what occurs, we still have a long time until the transfer window is closed and we’ll see what takes place
