True but still think he would have been a better signing than Tel, Simons and Kolo Muani though although that’s a very low bar admittedly
Honestly don't think so, given how anonymous he was against us over two legs
Good job Lange didn’t panic in January because players would be returning from injuryWith one or two notable exceptions, you could almost pick a team from this list that would trounce the currently available list!

The best bit is that some of them returned and then got injured again

I think with the exception of four months (Aug, Sept, Oct, and a few weeks in Nov and April), we've been at double figures injured for the entire season.
According to TransferMarkt, before joining Spurs, Solanke had missed a total of 40 matches with injuries in his entire career. He has missed far more than that since he joined us. Up to 9 Jan he had missed 45 of our matches.
To be fair even when he plays it still feels like he misses matches too.
Do they? Are you qualified to make such a judgement? ACL injuries have been on the increase everywhere in recent years. While our outcome is well above average it doesn't look significantly worse than expected as far as I can see.
If you were on the Board how would you choose the medical team and monitor their performance? Both these things are going to be harder than picking a coach as there won't be much data.
I’d probably raise an eyebrow knowing my medical “expert” decided to spray Simons’ knee with ice spray only to find out the lad done his ACL.
I obviously know Jack **** about injuries or the signs of things other than an obvious leg break but I’d like to think someone who’s trained and gotten qualifications in the field would be able to perhaps evaluate the situation a bit better than that. Then there’s also the fact Ange would’ve been told Kulu was relatively fine hence his infamous “just a knock” comment only to then see Kulu miss about 14 months of football (so far!).
Injuries are part and parcel of the game but I do think our medical department, just like our DoF, are very much in the bracket of saying to themselves “how the hell did I end up here”. It’s like those chancers in job interviews that apply for managerial roles knowing full well they’ve got no experience yet somehow blagging it and getting the job for a few weeks/ months before being fired - I actually know someone who’s done this too
Have you seen kolo Muani and tel this season?
One can’t be arsed, the other works hard but doesn’t have end product.
Lookman couldn’t do much worse
Doesn’t look worse than expected?
The last 2-3 years have been a disaster. It’s not down to luck.
You have no analysis to support your final sentence. Random events make much bigger differences than people imagine. For example the difference between worst case and best case refereeing decisions is more than 20 points assuming no bias. If the average number of serious injuries a season is 5 per team, there is almost bound to be one team with 10.
It’s not random though.
We’re not all imagining it. What’s happening at Spurs with injuries is worrying.
So you’d just leave things as they are and hope the last 2-3 years of injury after injury will magically fix itself?
That might well be true but it could still be unavoidable. I am sure we took advice before we hired our senior medical staff but that advice is going to be based on very little hard data and if there is a persuasive charlatan in the mix then some club will likely appoint him or her in good faith. Anyway I thought we already changed them recently.I’d probably raise an eyebrow knowing my medical “expert” decided to spray Simons’ knee with ice spray only to find out the lad done his ACL.

There are mathematical tests that tell you if things are likely. I don't think our injury outcome is significantly unlikely although the maths is quite hard to do. There are two sources of positive feedback...players injured once are more likely to be injured again and once injuries reach a certain level they affect the uninjured players by causing them more playing time and being played out of position.
That doesn't mean that I wouldn't be searching for other causes though but blaming someone without evidence is wrong.
Here's the problem with the retractable pitch truthers and their parroting the phrase "cumulative load" endlessly: if the cumulative load was the issue, why have the ACL injuries happened to players who have been with us 2-3 years tops and not those who played on the pitch significantly longer such as Son, Kane, Dier, Davies etc?
At this point they may as well be claiming that Matty Cash's studs are made out of the turf

The ‘evidence’ for me is the sheer amount of injuries.
Apparently Kudus has gone against club advice with his latest injury recovery and didn’t Romero use Argentina medical staff instead of Spurs too?
The whole department needs overhauling by the sounds of it. The injuries in the last few seasons have cost Spurs massively.
