What else was discussed?

I sincerely hope Murphy stays, but lets get one thing clear, I would much rather see a good team effort than a star winger having to pull us out of the mire time after time. Wingers like Murphy and Johnstone are great to watch and have both (the former many times more) been matchwinners but we shouldn't have to rely on their efforts to constantly win games for us.
The Kershaws of this world will do that with the right centre service, and good team effort.
If he stays great nobody more pleased than me - if not we move on as we always do.
