Episode 2: Yusuf Meets...George Saville

We filmed a lot. So much got edited out. Great bloke and clearly loves playing for us.
Comes across really well. It’s nice to hear that players are happy to be here. Funny about you saying he missed three sitters!! He’s defo got it in him to be in the right place and put em away. He’s done much better than some of the strikers we’ve had tbh. I like George Saville and think he probably gets more stick than he deserves. Both from digging out the team and doing the dirty work which doesn’t look pretty and in terms of missing chances that others haven’t been in a position to create. More chance of scoring from three chances than.. none.

Who’ve you got lined up for the next one?

Got to be brutally honest with him. They also cut the part when we discussed his price tag and I basically said we spent a huge amount in a position we needed strengthening the least as we had Howson, Clayton, Besic, McNair, Leadbitter and Wing there at the time. He took it well and even admitted he had a shocking first season but also put it down to playing in different positions.

Theres a week break from the series so wont film this week. Will film next week and they havent told me yet

Did my question about the captaincy make the rough cut?
 
I hope there is a part 2. The club selected the questions and dont think yours came up this time. Sorry
No worries, I bet there’s TONS to go at! Loving the style/format, loads of clubs try to put together interesting engaging content and it very rarely works.

Thanks mate this is the only way i can deliver it. Wouldnt have done it if they wanted to be a typical media interview we see.
 
Liked the bit about shoving the two dogs in the kitchen to get a bit of peace - but not so with a six-month old daughter! ;@))
 
Really good watch that. You both came across really well and I like the way you introduce a bit of humour and speak to them as a fan. Beats a "proper" media interview if you know what I mean. The players opon up more and there is less of the staged, cliche answers.
