They're all young lads, some at a very young age, some at the best age and some where we can really use their experience."Everything is good. I enjoy working with these guys. I don't compare how old you are. "If you start really early, you have a long time to have a career. I think in this moment we are the right club for boys to develop and improve and get the best player they can get. "They are involved in all our plans, not only the three lads now. I don't know when you stop being a young player; 22, 23 is still young."We need to give them a situation where they can come through and they're ready when we use them. "A few ups and downs, but as long as you are under the right circumstances and at the right club, we have no doubt about the potential of these boys."A little bit of luck, right attitude, [then] we have a decent player I think."</blockquote>
