The number of players we sign isn’t important, the quality is- Aboubakar Ouattara

“The number I need, it’s not very important. It is the quality of the player and the position that I need. If I say I need 10 players, which place (position) are these 10 players going to play. I have my targets, first choice, second and the third according to the price on the market.”

“I take the goalkeeping department, I need two in that position.”
