I don't know if it's true or not, as I said, I can't remember who told me. Whoever it was suggested that at least two of the summer signings were Stephenson's call, and given that Poyet subsequently fell out with Stephenson, perhaps it's inevitable that players viewed as not his own might be less favoured. Hoskins was definitely one of the players mentioned, I can't recall who the other one was. It wasn't CMS, I know that.
Could be getting my dates wrong but apparently we were interested in Hoskins last January - so people have said on this very thread etc. I'm sure Stephenson wasn't with us then? If both of those statements are true then it suggests the Stephenson-Hoskins thing isn't true?
