Speaking in the Yorkshire Post, Warne admitted; “I am not going to get a finished article but, realistically, the targets I get must have something and must have something missing. That is the same with all clubs, but if he was the finished article, he’d be at Manchester United. So I have to accept the fact that a player maybe has not played for a little bit of time or has been injured or maybe he’s out of favour as he’s a bit of a rough diamond."
“I appreciate that but we are trying to get players who are good for Rotherham for the short and long term. It is hard and difficult. I am also hoping that QPR and Blackburn don’t go out and sign significantly better players and improve. They are in the same predicament as us and are aiming for the same players. We have to dig deep to find little jewels.” he added.
