We were rubbish for 44 minutes. The best thing that could happen to us was that we were booed off. I hoped and prayed that we would be otherwise we would have been kidding ourselves.
We're not in the habit of selling our best players, we also want to plan for the future and he's a big part of that.
Every player at every club probably has their price but there is always a right time to sell. It has got to be right for everybody when one of your best players leave.
During the transfer window the media speculated that our best players were expected to leave, but we have managed to secure deals with two key players and that shows the commitment of the chairman and the board to the future potential of this club.
It's more than just the three points today. What better team to do it against than the champions of the country and the best team in the country.
