00:00How do you think Magomar's doing and finding the experience of being out on loan here?
00:04Yeah, good. So, I've been really pleased with him. He's had a little dip in terms of the energy that comes naturally,
00:11the excitement of coming, and he's 18 and he was aware of it and felt it, we speak about it.
00:16But yeah, really pleased. I'm pleased when he came on again the other night, everyone could see how he defends really well 1v1.
00:24He'll be so much better for the experience and the conversation with him yesterday was about that.
00:31When he goes back, I want him to play as many minutes as he can between now and the end of the season, that's his challenge.
00:36But when he goes back, understanding what he's taken from it, different professionalism in terms of preparing for games week on week,
00:46when you're expected to play rather than just a young lad in the squad.
00:50Things like managing his body, when he's done his ankle, that type of thing.
00:54So yeah, lots of things that for his first taste of it, 18-year-old, he'll be much, much more better for it.
01:01Is it too early to say whether you think he might go back out on loan next season?
01:05Whereas Kane, you think he might have surpassed this with how he's played, whereas Magomar's really early.
01:10What do you mean? Will Brentford send him back out?
01:12Yeah, potentially.
01:13I wouldn't have a clue, I wouldn't know. I know they think really highly of him.
01:18They've had a lot of problems, full-back areas this season.
01:20We couldn't get him to Rico, Henry was back and then Rico had a bit of a relapse.
01:25So I wouldn't have a clue what Brentford's plans are.
01:28But certainly, I know Jadon's personality, he wants to play, he wants to be playing first-team football now.
01:35And again, when you've had a taste of it and you go back, it's hard not to keep wanting that.
