Was just asking this on twitter but might as well put it to thread.
Does this mean Merrick sees Riera as a starting XI player? He was pretty clear early on that was the only thing import slots should be used for.
So is Lia shit out of luck in terms of a starting spot now? Manny? Or have we just used an import slot on cover?
I think he looks good from what little I have seen him play but thought the international status meant he was going to be out of luck.
