'Yes, I love this player but the last league was a long time ago and last assist was 40 games ago. You have to show you are switched on and fully focused. With all respect, with these statistics, let’s be honest I could have played Grant Hanley or Christoph Zimmermann up front and they wouldn’t assist less situations.'
'If you are there with such statistics, you have to show that you are ready to improve and that you are ready to work for this club, that you are fully focused and switched on.
'If you want a coach who just picks a team by potential, or name, or that he has to somehow be grateful that this player plays for Norwich City, I will just pick players who are desperate and willing to work their socks off and know the responsibility to play for this club. I don’t think this club owes the player anything, it is the other way round. This club makes sure that they can live such a privileged life.'
'I don’t blame them, I’m not angry with them, I know we are all human beings but I hope this bloody transfer window will close soon.'
'I think some players are capable to deal with it (transfer speculation) Max Aarons is a role model in how to deal with it but some players are affected. Of course you would wish that they put this to the side and know their responsibility but obviously some players can’t do this, I do not blame them, they are human beings and this is perhaps natural.
So it sounds like Cantwell head has gone be sure of the Leeds link.
'I am not letting my level drop and for this I don’t mind if there are rumours or speculation or whatever.'
Asked if any offer had come in
'We need their quality, I got the feeling that Emi Buendia should be the outstanding offensive player in this league and Todd Cantwell should be the outstanding midfield player in this league. I made it clear several times that I would not even sell them for £50million, not even £100million, because we need their quality in order to reach our claims. When there is a crazy offer then it is up to the key people in our club to make a decision, without any doubt I am not naive, we are a self-funded club, we have to deal with this.'
So if players leave it's not up to DF. He wouldn't sell for lower than 50 million.
'But all I know so far is no offer is in for them , no player and for that I expect as long as nothing happens that they are fully switched on and know their responsibilities to pay back - this is what I expect and not one percent less.'
