Not sure about "never" but I'd agree he shouldn't be #1 for us, but I would have him as #1 instead of Howard
Again, I think neither is the answer but Joel is the better option of the two IMO

Will we have the funds?

Thinking about the cup games we have in January, expect Joel to start next in the 2 cup games we have coming up, one thing that is a shame is the FA cup comes after the City game, when we go up against one of the best sides in the league, with a deadly striker, Joel wont have played for a month, then have 2 games in 4 days. The way the fixtures line up in my opinion gives him better match practice and preperation for the easier tie.
With the busy fixture list we have over Christmas Martinez, should find at least one league game to start Joel to prepare him for City, not for the point of dropping Howard, but to help Joel and the club. Be poor management from Roberto if he cant do that, be almost as bad as his one player for the cup and one for the league exclusive philosophy.

The sad thing is that if we reach a cup final I'm absolutely convinced Martinez would bring Howard in for it even if he hadn't played in any round previously. Give us some nonsense about wanting "strong characters on the pitch" or something like that.
Joel is not exactly a young kid anymore even by goalkeeper's standards. At 25 you'd think a player would be wanting to have a settled place at a club, not be constantly told he has a bright future and needs to be patient. If he asks to leave in January then I wouldn't blame him, he's been treated shoddily.

Think he will play FA cup game, but have a feeling he will put Howard in for the semi final.

Doubt it. He had the bottle to play robles in a FA cup final. I can't see a league cup semi being any different .
Al Habsi was not fully fit and struggling, he would have played him if fit.

Didn't know that tbf.
Tims struggling and he is supposed to be fit!
Fit for nothing.

Imagine if Robles performed superbly in the semi final to get us through, only for Howard to be back in goal for the final and gift the RS the winning goal.
Wouldn't happen at any other club, but wouldn't put it past us.

Bit it's not though, the Semi final Al Habsi was in goal. After that game he does his shoulder in, Robles starts a league game for the first time because of it.
