Goianegra 4,702 Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 That Espanyol defender we were linked with last year?He improved one hell of a lot and got regular games. Would take millions to get him now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKingObv 10,657 Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 pretty sure thats wrong. I think Walcott can do it in about 10.3 and the your Japanese kid miyachi at arsenal in 10.5 or somethingTheo Walcott cannot do the 100m in 10.3s.Almost as bad as people saying Rommedahl could do the 100m in 10.1, when he came out and admitted he could do it in around 11s, at best.

TheKingObv 10,657 Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 yup 10.3s and miyachi 10.7sIn all seriousness. Walcott was recorded doing 40m in 4.8 seconds. Given that top sprinters do it in around 4.3seconds, that is a fucking huge difference, which would put Walcott around 11s for the 100m.

iain88 70 Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 I could never explain why but for some reason i just love fast players. Even when they're a bit pish. I was Greg Wylde's biggest fan for example.So.. I'm very happy about this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Carpintero 546 Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 This worries me. A player of considerable potential is all of a sudden let go 6 months after arriving and willing to play div 3? Surely this ain't a loan, would they trial for loans? And surely he'd be better served in athletico b?He is 17/18 for crying out loud and you have him down as a dud and failure? Give the kid a chance. He will fill out at Rangers in the hammer throwers division, building up strength, character and attitude. Surely better playing for the worlds most decorated club in front of the worlds best fans than sunning it up in some reserve team? Pace is the one thing that excites me here, we have been so slow as a unit and team for so long, we badly need an injection of real pace.

The Gas Man 190 Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 He can run the 100m in 10.7 seconds, and snubbed Manchester United to join Atletico Madrid. He can run 100m in 10.7 secs right into a lumbering 17st 3rd division centre halfs two footed knee high tackle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CottonRunt 978 Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 what like since the last transfer window Maybe it is a shorter time that what i remember it to be.Just with all this tax and money jargon we have been talking about recently, it feels like a long, long time since we have been able to talk about football and signing players!

ChampionsAgain 1,373 Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 If we could get him on a free transfer rather than a loan i'd be very happy, looks to have great potential. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davie2909 21 Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 This is the type of players we should be looking at young talent that we can sell on in 4 or 5 years for a big fee Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
