Particularly for a team like ours that’s pretty bloody vulnerable because of our high line.Not seen him play, but I hope he is slow.
But not all 'really tall' centre cakes lack speed: Campbell was quick, and he was pretty huge. And of course there is our very own Van Dyke. He's bloody massive and is very speedy for his size.
As we've talked about for years and years, it's always useful to have at least one of your CBs who is quick, and that's been the case for lots of successful CB partnerships, going back to the first I vaguely recall at Liverpool; Hansen and Lawrenson
Don’t think it mattered as much back when Houllier and Rafa were in charge because we played pretty deep, though Carra wasn’t exactly slow or anything.
