I am more disappointed that we appear to have wasted yet more money on someone who is not going to be used. We seem to be quite good at that a la Rakip, Jach and to a lesser extent Meyer, McArthy and Sorloth. Roy is clearly a manager who likes his favourites and doesn’t move far down his available list with his selections.

Unless we get some serious injury problems or Camarasa does something seriously impressive in training I doubt we will see him. It’s a rotation battle in midfield for Milivojevic, McArthur, Kouyate, Townsend, Zaha, Schlupp and occasionally Meyer and McArthy

Hodgson's methods mean that his '' favourites '' are the players that can operate within his team set up.

Which saved us from certain relegation, took us to our highest PL points tally and, so far, has us in sixth place with fifteen points from ten games

The manager will play him if and when, he thinks he is ready.
