S**t happens. We were incredibly lucky last season to get a full squad before pre season and that DS/BK struck up a fantastic working relationship on DS return from injury. These things don't happen too often and don't last long when they do. Forget last season, we have to move on, quickly.
I think we have to face the reality of DS/BK duo ruling midfield is finished. Even if DS stays I doubt he will be as effective as last season. These magical combinations have a short shelf life, this one ended after 60 minutes at Riverside. We have to move on and find a new supremo.
Probably, but if we wish to cash in whatever, we would have done so already. This is classic Lizard poker playing with transfer market. I don't think he will go unless we get a quality replacement. Remember Buckley?
