Agree.
However on reflection, is he better option than Godden now, yes. Will he offer impact, yes. Will he be happy to be 2nd fiddle - guess so - that’s key.
would have liked someone with more growth - but more I’ve thought , more makes sense.
Of course in Robins et al we trust. Just don't see much further development in him. 25 yo now, championship his level at best. Rather try and pluck someone with bigger upside. But look I think he is a better option that Godden now.
Let's all be clear, it would be fantastic to keep him. We want good players, you can't have enough of them. Genuinely think he's better off staying, have a Stella season, see what that brings. It would enhance our chances if he stayed.
