So I went to Newcastle airport, he came to pick me up in his Range Rover, we went to Sunderland and he took me to lunch to Pizza Express.I was very surprised that he didnt talk to me much.Normally you get a player for lunch, you try to talk to him and try to convince him to sign for your club, but he didnt talk much, he was just very quiet. I knew straight away that me and him, we could not work together, we would end up fighting. He was talking to me and looking at the ceilingI knew straight away that it would not work.
