Have won or came close to winning the league the season before last if Bake was in the form he was in at the latter end of last season?

Can't ask one guy to do it all on his own.

 

[Ganter]

simple answer: No

But Sandro´s injury was a bigger factor, him all season, then I believe we could have gotten 3rd

He said the season before last so I'm assuming 11/12 when this was our team:

Friedel
Walker Kaboul King Ekotto
Lennon Parker Modric Bale
Van Der Vaart
Adebayor​

We were challenging until about late January and then fell away badly, imagine if we had the Bale of 2013 in that team, we may well have pushed the Manchesters right to the wire.
