Sad that we’ve had 2 players - Ledley and Moose - who would have been acknowledged as world class but for injuries.Just coming in to post that Jenas article as it’s the best one I’ve read on Dembele. It shows why he frustrates me so much. Since he’s joined us he’s only completed 90 minutes in 25% of the games he’s played for us. That’s seriously bad. He is such a good player on his day that it’s been allowed to go on. Once he’s retired it will be interesting to see if he speaks about his injuries. I’d love to know what the real problem has been in his career.

That’s kind of a double edged blade though. If they had been fit and able to play all games, they maybe would have moved on to one of the BIG teams.. I’d like think Ledley wouldn’t have, but you have to remember that he played for us when we were generally pretty awful. Only the arrival of Santini saw the change for us getting better.
The best thing about Santini was him leaving and promoting BMJ!Yeah we were great under santini.
Yeah we were great under santini.
Yeah we were great under santini.
This. No need for the sarcasm @Lilbaz Sanitini didnt last long enough to have any effect, but our fortunes changed and we started to move where we are now when he, Jol and Arsenen (spelling) came on boardI didn’t say that.. When Santini came in, was when we started to change tho.

We coceded more goals than in any premier league start and were shit under him no matter how short his reign was. Giving him any benefit for our improvement is unjustified.
That the season Phil Ifil started and got MOTM against Liverpool (?), or did well anyway.
Then we parked the bus.
He crammed quite a lot into his 6 games!
Ifil ended up playing for kennington i think.
Or could it be that we had injuries to some of these "best" players while also dealing with European competitions while the winners both years had few injuries and no europe to deal with?If Dembele does that better than anyone, and Kane is the best striker and TA is the best CB, and up until last year, according to everyone on here we had the best RB in the world, the best LB in the league, why didn't we win the league the last two seasons ?
Could it be that some of those statements are in fact a little bit exaggerated football fan bias ?

You’re missing the point of what I said though. Never mind.
If you'd have said when jol and arnesen joined i'd totaly agreed with you. Sorry as i said i don't want to give santini any credit.
