Has there ever been a slower collection of players in football history?

Remarkable

 

[WhyAlwaysMe?]

In fairness, Reina's pretty nippy..

 

[manwithnoname]

Haha, yep. He's the quickest player in that team, yep

Should have put that div The Laughing Cavalier in there

 

[SaintGeorge67]

Reina aside that is a disaster

 

[SaintGeorge67]

I'm still hopeful that maxi was slowed down by wearing gloves. If he removes these and wears short sleeves he may yet rival usain bolt.

 

[SaintGeorge67]

And to be fair, a glacier is slightly smoother/more graceful when it accelerates than the aforementioned players

 

[Shadey]

Even the teams of yesteryear could out do these..

[/quote] Yeah..

Bill and bob probably have a faster turning speed in their graves than Emiliano Insua currently does.

Is there any player in the world whom fans rate as fast and/or thin these days?

Not really. And quite obviously, the reason we're so shite is because we're not quick.

Nothing to do with the fact that we don't actually play football, just down to the fact that we're not all as fast as Ryan Babel.

Oh.

It's that.. AND the fact that our footballers aren't very athletic.

You can't get away from it. In today's modern game you need your footballers to be semi-athletic (pace and/or power.. we've got little of both).

the moment i read this thread title in my rss reader i knew it was more of your tiresome shit!

 

[Terrier]

Is Maxi really that slow?

I don't think he's *that* turtle.

 

[KopPoNok]

Where is brendan's favourite - Slo-semi?

Don't think Lucas is that slow, but Alonso is definitely slow. If Ngog is slow, then Crouch must be quicksilver.

I don't think pace is the real issue here, we just need the 'brain' to sort things out.

 

[Y1]

Slow Mo
Steady Eddy
Easy Peasy

These must fascinate Brendan
