I love that people hold him in some romantic notion like he is santa or something.
It's very odd. When you consider who we brought in, the last two seasons Dein was here: Hleb, Diaby, Adebayor, Theo, Baptista, Gallas and Rosicky. You've got to wonder if it would really be that much different now. I'm not saying all of those players were crap because they aren't and I had spent enough time defending them on GW 1.0 but it is fair to say for whatever reason, the majority of them did not succeed.
