“He’s part of what we’re doing,” Cooper said today. “It’s on everybody to play their way into the right side of decisions. We really like Will. He’s a good young player.
"We have a strong programme for him. It might have included a loan for him, but if it did, it had to be right for him. I’d rather him stay with us than go on a loan that I didn’t think would be right for him.
"We’ll continue to work with him, and he can work himself into the right side of decisions. It’s the same for everybody.”
