And prey tell where you are gonna find a better back up player for less than paying about £5m for ?
He is no where near getting a start or even a place on the bench other than maybe the FA Cup to shop window him. As for a replacement, as others have said, it's not crucial bearing in mind how far down the pecking order he is. In fact, I'd even put Rosenior ahead of him for getting round the back of the defence and putting in an effective cross.
