Bringing in Edu and Parlour to explain why circumstances were ideal for Kolo is a bit strange. You could argue Kolo, Sol and Cole made corcumstances ideal for Edu and Parlour to come in and perform at a level that kept us unbeaten.
Also Paddy missing 2 months of a 9 month season is almost a quarter of the season. Gilberto missed a similar number of games. In any case the argument that Toure (whilst starting almost every game) was one of the weaker player in the team being carried by others rather than being a key player whose involvement contributed to our season is wild to me. But each to their own I guess. I feel he more than held his own alongside the generally accepted World Class players we had that season.
