“We have drawn a red line,” he said. “It is very difficult. I got asked last week, ‘Will he be here at the end of the window’. It was an impossible question to answer, really. But I am working to try and put a squad together.

“There absolutely has to come a time where we understand what the squad is going to be, especially a player of the level of Anthony.

“I have to know he is going be here and the good thing is here at the club, myself and everybody involved upstairs has the same kind of thinking.

“I won’t say where it (the cut-off point) is, but I think you understand I am getting very close to it.”
