Nick price

Overall the fundamentals seem to be there and he's obviously got a very mature head on his shoulders. He's got a kind of presence.

He's got everything. He' not a great player yet because he hasn't won any major championships, but it's a matter of time. He's an outstanding talent. I didn't realize how tall he is.

When you get into that kind of studio money, there's a price on everything. And I haven't been willing to pay that price.

What is the price of experience? Do men buy it for a song? Or wisdom for a dance in the street? No, it is bought with the price of all the man hath, his house, his wife, his children.

We've asked again but with the price they're asking, it's silly money as they don't want to sell him. I understand that. Just because we're doing well and because the chairman (Dave Whelan) has got a few quid, I'm not going to pay too far over the odds for players, and at that price we won't be interested.
