With the pending signing of Adama and even Praet, yes it is. Also, Sanchez was Westwoods only real competition last year, now we can add Gueye and Veretout to the list of players who can fill that role.
I will defer to Trents appearance tally, but how many of those was as a sub and how many was he subbed off...
With all this said, i am pleased with the extension, and hope he plays so consistently well that some of,the new boys cant get a league start...i just am not convinced he will be a regular starter once Gueye and Veretout settle in.
