I think players like Dier, Winks and Sanchez kept getting 2nd chances because we failed to buy replacements, not because any of our previous managers especially thought they could rejuvenate them. Conte and Jose made positive comments about Dier but I'm sure they would've upgraded on him in a heartbeat given the chance. Alli strikes me as the one that successive managers thought they could rehabilitate into a top talent and failed.
I imagine he's more talking about Ndombele and maybe Lo Celso, GIl, Reguilon, etc. Players that might suit a more technical, possession minded coach but were poor fits for our last few managers.
