"I have this big thing in football, this is not just something in the past week; we've become obsessed with who we're going to sign, who we would like to sign, who we do not have.

"This obsession with players who are not at the club in football is something I find very hard to get used to. Maybe I'm a traditionalist, but I believe you can improve what you have, work with what you have.
"We have three young boys training with us today, travelling with us, what about them? They've come up from the academy, shall I just forget them? Just sign some new players?
"That's not the way I want football to be. I don't believe Valencia should be that way. It's important that message comes across."FIFA statement after Ireland/England World Cup game abandoned after alleged racism
