We don’t often get talked about or the attention in foreign media about something positive, and for that we are glad. This squad fully deserves the recognition. But saying they are rejects is something I find pretty offensive. I understand some of them did not fit in some teams or perhaps they were expected better and did not find their place in that moment in time, but rejects goes too far.
Tadic was never bad in PL. He wanted to leave for Ajax. Southampton never rejected him.
That’s why I said ‘or are now past their peaks’.
