He does. But he also says that he'd heard the lad didn't want to play in League 1...

but that if you're phone didn't ring then maybe you weren't at the level you thought you were.

Its a tough one. I'd rather we didn't keep Russell. I think we've more than enough in Hughes, Smith, Adeyemi and OTJ (he'll come good) for the 2 CM spots. Bringing Russell back in complicates things I think. He might flourish alongside one of the youngsters (as long as he doesn't teach them his control) but can't start ahead of Hughes.
