Appears we have declined the option to buy Salas.
He added good depth to the squad but as a visa player, you need more than that.
That's a shame. Don't think he really had enough time to show his skills.
He was really only in the squad for 6 weeks, not really enough time to settle in and push for starting spots. Given a full preseason andtime to learn the language I reckon he could easily push Payne for the starting RB spot as well as push Pennington for the CM role.
