LBS should definitely be telling Greenie he wants to start on that right 10 position all pre-season and pushing to do it.
I don’t mind a slightly unsettled starting 11 if it’s competition between good players, in a healthy team environment.
The other possibility, if we can sign enough local players and Walker is back etc, is that we hold an import spot for a January impact signing, when we can see what we need to push us over the line or fingers crossed to cover any form or injury issues.
He will be 18. I imagine if Sander leaves they will get an experienced foreign attacking midfielder soon. Also only so many from Aus want to be here. Players like Matt Grimaldi or Denis Genreau are rusted on Melbourne/Sydney types that will never play here. & most other NZ players still here, in those spaces, aren't A League level.
