However, talk of a possible fairy tale return stemmed from Donald's admission on BBC Newcastle - revealing he made an "cheeky" approach for the 36-year-old in the summer.

"I asked in the summer if we could and the answer came we couldn’t," said Donald.

"I was wondering if they might contribute to his wages."

"He’s a very important player for a host of different reasons."

Anthony Gray: "I'd give him a piggy back up from Bournemouth!"

Michael Staines: "Please please let this happen"

Billy Robinson: "That will never happen, we can dream"

David Harris: "He'll come back next season in the Championship..."
