Busquets too; one of the best.Defensive midfield's all about energy, timing and positioning, not brute force.
Kante, best defensive midfielder of his generation, and a wisp of a man. Makelele and Deschamps, who pretty much defined the role, were hardly giants, either.
slightly off topic but the way we have got to where we are today from SISU, Slade etc. is really important. No gaming administration or FFP loopholes, no sugar day oligarch throwing money at it, just canny trading, improving players for value, cup runs, good attacking football, loyal support through thick and thin and now selling out the CBS. We'll have earnt promotion as a club and as a fanbase when we get there.And Hamer's £15m
I think Dave Bennett beats most of those with exception of Oggy..maybe him & CyrillInteresting suggestions.
In my time watching I’d pick out:
Regis, Gallacher, Robson, Dublin, Ogrizovic, Leon Clarke, McNulty, Kelly
Surely if you have been watching over that time Dave Bennett & Darren Huckerby are ahead of Clarke McNulty & Kelly.Interesting suggestions.

I must admit I wasn't that enamoured with him particularly at the start of his time with us.McAllister was garbage for the majority of his time here.
It could be argued the signing of Robbie Keane (or more to the point the reasons behind it) was one of the most disastrous signings the club has made.Not even close I'm afraid . Great signing but others have been more important. Keane , McAllister , Gyokeres , Hamer McFadz and Doyle in recent times to name a few
I wouldn't class Keane as an important signing. Class player, but didn't even play a whole season for us! Hes not even near the top 50 of important players the club have signedNot even close I'm afraid . Great signing but others have been more important. Keane , McAllister , Gyokeres , Hamer McFadz and Doyle in recent times to name a few
With his rather severe downturn in form, I was thinking back to that issue he seemed to have at Southampton where it looked like his boot got stuck in the turf. Since then I don’t think he’s looked anywhere near the same - now that may be coincidental but it almost tallies with our loss of form. Weird one.

Digging up an old positive thread to rag on the latest boo boy is a stone cold SBT classic
Why have you kept it so long ?I've watched Grimes lately, aswell as Torp. Both came to us as the "messiahs". Not been impressed with either of them. Same goes for Wright. He really needs to up his game.Really impressed with the loanee, Esse. Looks a handful.
Anyway, what do I know?
A 73 year old fart!
I think it is Franks formation. He won't change it. We have been poor since end of November. Even Leicester and Millwall.

Torp was poor v Norwich on the ball and his shooting has been off a bit
Grimes is still excellent he’s being overrun and pressured when on the ball and I think he’s not being as brave but he’s still excellent. I do wonder if he’s lost a bit of pace but think he’s just having to cover everywhere
Wright has been okay"excellent" is pushing it. He has now scored 2 in 17, I believe. Simms 10 in 12 starts, or thereabouts.I thought wright has been excellent the last 3

Grimes has been ok recently imo perhaps not quite up to his very best... just having to do way too much on his own, needs some help in that area, not missed a league game, he must be knackered tbhI thought wright has been excellent the last 3
