“We don’t have that right now, so we are not saying goodbye to him yet. We will sit down and look at the season, and then we will see what the transfer window brings. That applies to Mathias and all the other players.”

“He is an interesting player for the five major leagues. It is not without reason that he was named Player of the Year, and there are many things that bigger clubs in the five major leagues could be interested in. I will answer the phone when they call, and then we will see.”
