Nice 2 week break in Dubai for the squad

[Luis Anaconda]

I’m still struggling to think of any world class side in history where a gangly string bean strongly featured, outside of central defence.
They’re not built for it. They lack mobility and it takes an age for their brains to trigger signals to their feet, see ?
You want lots of 5ft 10 mesomorphs. That’s just the way of things

Zidane 6ft1 and Steffan Effenberg 6ft 2 might disagree

Berbatov, Zlatan - also fairly useful and 6ft plus. Dennis was 6ft. Kanu 6ft 4 Were the invincible world-class? Yaya Toure 6ft 2

(I did get the irony in the original post, btw, but made me think of which players have "quick/good feet for a big man")

Robert Prosinečki and Zvonomir Boban - both 6ft. Also Niall Quinn - ok, I'll stop now

Quinny could play once he had grown up a bit.

Henry was 6 ft 2. He could play a bit

I was going to include him, but Sir C would point out that he was an athlete not a footballer. Look at him being an athlete here

Pires was also 6ft 1 - the gangling neanderthal

If Henry hadn't been such a good footballer he would have scored more goals.

That's one for red to unpick

good shout, p

[redgunamo]

That's quite right. Alan Smith and Dennis and Robert Pires too.

Which just goes to show you; whilst almost all footballers can play football; very few footballers can score over 300 goals.

Telling Dennis Bergkamp that he didn't score enough goals is like telling Led Zeppelin they didn't have enough hit singles.

Havertz is 6ft 4 and would blow away in a strong wind. Henry had balance

Like Chelsea, I guess, we want the version of him that played in Germany. The one even Matheus said could win the balon d'Or one day.
