I\u2019ve seen some impressive stuff from Andy Coleman, he\u2019s not got his feet up I\u2019ll put it that way.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think if you have a previous relationship with that player then these deals get done quickly because the player will say \u2018I want to play with that person\u2019. But if a player is moving to a club and he has options and doesn\u2019t know any of the clubs or people at the clubs and just making this big leap of faith, I think they try to weigh up everything and then we have to do our best to be the most attractive proposition at the end of it all.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt looks like it\u2019s going to be a late flurry, so let\u2019s see what happens. What I would say is even if it\u2019s not what everyone was hoping for, it won\u2019t be for the want of trying.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;what I think would be the second-worst thing is to bring people in that we don\u2019t think are top-drawer, and then say \u2018oh but we\u2019ve done something\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think that would also be a problem, we\u2019d just be kicking the can down the road so we have to get the right ones and make them feel like this is the place for them to come and play.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"getty aligncenter\"><a id='0gFxwtzQR7hcH1qVdCCQog' class='gie-single' href='http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1940263508' target='_blank' style='color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;'>Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'0gFxwtzQR7hcH1qVdCCQog',sig:'B5hezmlQUpHdDsN29Yqlaudf6qVnPqSc9iOR8cpxFx8=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1940263508',caption: false ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/div>\n<p>Williams spoke after the weekend defeat to Southampton about discussions to confirm a longer term deal for Yannick Bolaise and whilst he remains hopeful that he secures his signature he was candid as to exactly what is causing the delay adding that there was more to it than just the player being uncertain \u201cIt\u2019s something along those lines,&#8221; the boss said.\u00a0 &#8220;It\u2019s a little bit more complicated but if I talk more it\u2019s probably unfair.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s not a kid, he\u2019s an experienced guy, he has other options in his life. The first thing you have to know is that he\u2019s training really well, he\u2019s so focused and he\u2019s really great in the building so this isn\u2019t a commitment thing, he\u2019s in a different stage of his career where these guys have to think about things more deeply. We\u2019re trying (to get him to stay).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOf course we\u2019ve all seen a lot of Yannick over the years because he\u2019s been a top player, so I\u2019ve got a good impression of him anyway.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Luke Williams may be focused on the FA Cup tie at Bournemouth this evening but he still took some time out yesterday afternoon to address the latest questions on the January transfer which has now just a week to run until its closure.
