“He’s an outstanding young goalkeeper, someone I tried to get in the summer but I couldn’t get him – he was going to be their number two.
“The opportunity came up, I ran it past my boss, it was financially a very good deal for us.
“It’s my job, always, to try and improve the team, I have to do that.
“But Shwan has been really, really good in training, he’s bounced back. I had a really good chat with him, it’s certainly not the end of him.”
