Yes and of the two Butcher picked, Hastings is unlikely to fit the personality of the team Powell is building.
Also it isn't a one player question.
Trueman and Lino are clearly a good partnership. The real Xfactor is Trueman but he's also the vulnerable one.
If we replace Lino we could just end up back in the same place.
If I'm spending big money I'd have to assess how likely Trueman is to stay fit. He might be the one to replace. But I hope not.
If you keep them both we need a capable backup. Not sure Russell is it yet but we'll see.
I think this season is the season we really find out about all 3. There's no real rush to go marquee straight away.
Think you make a good point about Truman ,we do not know how fit he is Looked good against Leeds was missing the next game injured .Pundits on Sky were saying he had missed the last six weeks.One game now and again is no good for such a important position on the park .Think he as got to be in the team for rest of season or to me it is a waste of time keeping him He is class but he as got to prove he is worth the money
