I want players who want to be here and players who want to fight for this club. Mendez-Laing obviously thinks he can get a better deal elsewhere so let him do that. He's turned down Newport due to wages which to be honest it completely sums up the lad. He will train with the youth team and reserves until he can get a transfer out of here".
