He's good mate but he's not in the Webster class IMHO, few are. If he can stay fit, I think he's a great player but he's seemingly always injured / suspended. I would hope he's grown out of the 'charge' mentality by now but maybe that's why I / we like watching him.
We'll miss AW certainly but...
If the up front fee is £24.5M :£ Tom, you've got £2.1M coming your way as we only paid £3.5M up front as I remember it. Most of the clauses which would have taken it to £8M were promotion linked I think.

We were only down in L1 for a few years and the difference between the Championship we left...
We tried doing the same when we came up Ken, it didn't work. Luckily, we realised just in time and stayed up. That's the battle you should be aiming to win this season WTGR, just survive as this is a brutal league and a major step up from L1 with all respect to that division.
