I think you are right... i was mistaken... it was the league cup he was a sub in according to the Sheff UTD site.
We don't know when exactly he was signed, we know when it was announced but not when the deal was confirmed. He isn't cup tied and according to our site he's going straight into the squad.
It's probably an issue of fitness. In his interview on the official site he says that he is not fit. Better that he works on that for the league campaign than struggle and get injured 2moro.
Not confusing at all. He hasn't played in the FA.Cup = not cup tied. He's fit and Hoskins is cup tied = he's in the squad.
He's fit enough to play for 30 minutes, I bet. He'll probably be on the bench. So who partners Henderson at the start ? Ashikodi or Priskin ?
