Yeah i agree.i dont think payne was ever recruited as a break glass example , i think the recruitment team genuinely see payne as a longer term project. Pink was a break glass recruitment who has shown reasonable flexibility but on present form isnt a starting 22 in a contending team, but ok depth and saves a spot on the list given he can be deployed forward or in defence.
And that's why Pink had a ten game trigger imo. Because if he played that many games there may be a need for him in the following year as well (or he shows he's good enough to demand a spot, but I don't think that's the case so far.)
