Quote: rhinoms "Eastwood isn't replaced by another player in the "elite" top 20 though but Donald clearly is hence the only notable departure because he will be replaced from outside the club.'"
Let's wait and see which number Clarkson is given for next season first shall we.
It appears, judging by frequency of selection, that he has moved well ahead of the player allocated number 20 for the 2010 season. That player I imagine would also not be universally regarded as 'elite' even within our own supporter base.
