Recently, Bridcutt.
We can try to convince ourselves that Ince is a natural replacement, or that he wasn't this, or wasn't that, but truth is the whole shape of the team changed without him. Gone was the holding midfielder taking out from the keeper, with CBs going wide, and full backs pushing on. To have a player sufficiently comfortable in possession to bring the ball out like that, with composure on the ball. They are pretty rare at the level we buy talent.
All-time. Ward, I was gutted but I was expecting it, (and Bridcutt, I guess) but Dean Saunders I really wasn't. Was so obviously class, and with TC and Fash, we looked like we had everything up front. The ther two though, you could replace, but Saunders was the sort of gen you rarely unearth. Richard Tiltman eh, where is he now?
