Well I was one of the fans who very much wanted us to get Parker, as I'm big on the idea that you need a very good squad to win a trophy as well as get top 4, which is what I (realistically) hope for. I never expected Parker to be as good as he has been, but to me it was obvious he could do a job for us.
I was and still am content that Parker and Sandro can play together, so I never saw the idea that he would necessarily block Sandro's progress. Obviously if the manager didn't think they could play together then that block would happen, but until we have both of them fully fit and available at the same time, we won't know the answer to that one.
