Transfer Update
“Morgan Schneiderlin, if he is linked with other clubs, it is not important to me.
“Morgan is part of our squad. When I finished the squad last Thursday, he will be here until the end, until January, with all of them.
“We have Morgan and JP [Gbamin] for that position.
“It is not the position to talk about Kevin and Niasse. You know my opinion on them. The market is open and it is possible something could happen.”
Iwobi Latest
“Now it’s a matter for us to put him in the best physical condition possible.
“He’s working really hard and well. It’s up to me whether I put Alex in the squad tomorrow.”
Stronger Squad?
“It’s a different squad. I have not said it is stronger or better. We have to prove that during the season.
“We signed good, important players but lost a very important player.
“We are not comparing one squad with the other.”
Fortress Goodison
“It’s important for us to play at Goodison. It’s really important for us to make Goodison our fortress.
“We finished last season playing really well with a fantastic connection with our fans.
“They play a key part during the game and was a big part of our season. In our best moments they were there and in other moments also. We did well together.”
On Watford
“What they try, I think all the teams try also, to get stronger and sign important players.
“Their style of play will not change in my opinion. It is clear what they tried to do.
“They already had a strong XI last season and it will be the same tomorrow.”
