How do these vary so much between sites? We’re always clearly the most fudged though whichever one you look at.

Yet another player who suffered a chronic knee injury whilst playing for Tottenham…
www.nytimes.com
“I played my best football at Southampton and Spurs, especially the season we were unbeaten at home,” he says. “I was cruising but some things you can’t escape. What happened, happened.
“I did play all the (Chelsea) game but when I went out, I felt like I couldn’t move my knee. It was so stiff and from there they diagnosed the issue. Cartilage defect.”
Does he view that match as a before-and-after moment in his playing career?
“I can say yes,” says Wanyama, who was fleetingly one of British football’s outstanding midfield enforcers for Celtic, Southampton and Spurs.
“I would say before the injury, I was cruising. After, it restricted me. I was changing my game.
“I wanted to play every game but I was cautious, I didn’t want to go into tackles 100 per cent. I wanted to be fit, available for the next games. That wasn’t good for me. Sometimes I had to skip training, ice the knee so much, and do a lot of rehab.
“I couldn’t play back-to-back games. I had to skip games. I wasn’t training because I was rehabbing the knee. It was a really tough time.”

A deep review of this has to be done by club.
No matter who we buy, what wages we pay, won't make a fudge of a difference if 9-13 players are consistently out.
Ground, player data, medical decisions and staff, full works, preferably by outside audit. And should be done now to have changes for new season.

Yep. Seems we tried to bring him back too soon, he had a setback and is now out for the rest of the season. There was talk that he needed surgery but I last I saw was something to the effect that he was holding off on that to see if he could get fit for the world cup without going under the knife.
