Therein lies the issue though you aren't trying to replace with quality so if you were going to market for someone to replace ISA you'd be looking a a prospect or a utility who can expect game time only when injuries are heavy

So that's why its all down to wage, if he's on a first team wage then its a shocker of a call, if hes on what a 18/19 year old prospect earns then i guess its an option

Still for me you have a player who's steady at best playing into a year when even the great players have struggled like DaveO said if lockers cant make an impact at that age being one of the best to do it then it doesnt bode well for ISA. Roby is great example of how time catches quick and he again one of the very very best this year hes been a shadow

How do you know we haven’t already used that with an existing player to enable the signings we’ve made ?

Of course Willie is on a first team salary, why would he not be? However, we have seen a glimpse of lthe future tonight. Junior was my man of the match, irrespective of Abbas’s try haul. We still need to adopt a ruthless mentality.
