All the stuff about being a drinking club, or having players who were not good enough, I treat as rubbish.
Paul was part of our game plan and he was probably our best player today. We switched off as soon as he went off. Just before that I could tell that Rooney was getting frustrated because Paul was getting to him.
We have still got a couple of things to iron out regarding personal terms. But we are hopeful that Ugo will be an Albion player very soon.
If we played like that every week, we wouldn't be so inconsistent.
The team shouldn't miss one player. Kieran Richardson was a great influence on us because he had a lot of pace and was an aggressive lad, ... But I should be able to find one player in my squad who can match his qualities even if maybe they are not as good.
Almeyda is a player I thought would have done a good job for us. But he has decided to stay in Argentina because of family problems and we have to respect his decision and move on.
