Failing an injury to AC I fear we won't see a Sakho/Valencia pairing anytime soon.

The last thing BFS needs is another rip roaring victorious performance from those two.

This would leads to mass demands they become our first choice strike force, leaving Carroll gathering dust on the bench.

Sam's ego would never allow that.

I'm about 80% of the way along this viewpoint.  Valencia/Sakho was real greased lightning, Sandra Dee, and I miss it badly.

Breadstick-boned Andy Carroll goes straight from long-term rehab to seven starts in a month?  Super weird, Daddy-o.
