@pnefc 💬LB on new contract: “I’ve had some good, positive conversations yesterday and this morning, so we’re nearly there. Just one or two small adjustments and we’re there. It’s positive and I’m pleased with what I’m hearing.” #cafc

@pnefc 💬LB: “The most important thing for me is to concentrate on the game, so that’s the priority over the next few days. Once the small things are sorted out, then we’ll get it sorted.” #cafc

@pnefc 💬LB: “Regarding Maddison, I don’t think it’s fair to talk about him because he plays for Peterborough. I think he’s an excellent player, but I don’t think it’s fair to talk about anything other than that.” #cafc

@pnefc 💬LB: “Me and Steve Gallen have worked hard to put a list together. We have to have targets because we want to move the club forward. We’re all working hard to bring players in, we all recognise that the squad needs strengthening.” #cafc

@pnefc 💬LB: “January is tough because people move the goalposts. They have to be the right type of player, we can’t just jump in. They have to strengthen us, otherwise it’s just wasting money.” #cafc

@pnefc 💬LB on Gallagher: “It’s a big blow. Conor has been one of our best players and it’s obvious for everyone to see. I think he would have got better and better. No one expected him to do what he did and it just shows the job that we do here.” #cafc

@pnefc 💬LB: “That’s why it hurt me. Because I wanted to keep working with Conor and keep improving him. But he is Chelsea’s player.” #cafc

@pnefc 💬LB: “Conor’s gone and we have to move on. One player doesn’t make a squad of players. I trust the players that I have in this building.” #cafc

@pnefc 💬LB: “Jonny Williams is back in the fold as is Tomer Hemed and Jake Forster-Caskey. Oztumer has trained this week and Josh Cullen trains with us for the first time today.” #cafc

@pnefc 💬LB: “Chuks Aneke will be playing with the U23s. Fitness-wise he’s too far off it, so he’ll be playing for the U23s on Saturday. Macauley Bonne will still be out for the next few weeks.” #cafc

@pnefc 💬LB on Lyle Taylor: “It’s all guesswork. If you ask my honest opinion, I don’t think he’ll go. But I didn’t think Conor would go, so sometimes you can’t control it.” #cafc
