Claretonthecoast appears to be a xenophobe.
Seems against entertaining anybody foreign at our club. Two posts this morning both relating to foreigners and both posted in sarcastic manner.
Ban him until after Brexit is finalised. For his own good.

Re: Usain Bolt
I believe he wanted AU$1.6m, about £900,000 a season.

Re: Usain Bolt
Then you misunderstood arise but hardly a shock. I would rather have anybody foreign at the club than local people who bitch and moan about everything and anything.

Re: Usain Bolt
Been speaking with a work mate this morning about this and apparently he has seen him play (for a German team?) and says if you take away his speed there is nothing there. No awareness, no control, no passing ability and for a guy at 6'5' he's not very good in the air. In other words he's not a footballer. I suggested that if we got good balls through the channels for him to run onto would that work but the opinion is no because of his complete lack of awareness and the fact that the opposition could counter him easily by leaving a man deep, 10 yards or so behind him so he has no real chance of using his speed.
This is second hand info and not my opinion because I haven't seen him play.

Re: Usain Bolt
His wage demands are ridiculous for a player who's never played professionally before.
I suppose the idea is that you recoup the money in shirt sales and publicity etc.

Someone put the videos of the Pogba penalty and Bolts 100m record side by side. Bolt won by 1.5 seconds

Re: Usain Bolt
Regardless of his on-field ability, his off-field contribution to the club and the league as a whole has been no less than magnificent.

The footballing legend that is Andy Keogh just described Bolt as having a 'Touch like a trampoline'

Re: Usain Bolt
Fame hungry ego maniac. Nowhere near the level required to play professionally in our top 4 tiers. What is he now 32? Plus doubt he would pass our more stringent drugs testers. Only doing this for the publicity....wouldnt want him anywhere near our club, maybe he should take up bobsleighing "hey Sanker, you alive?"
Re: Usain Bolt
My favourite quote about his footballing ability.
"He has the touch of a trampoline"

Re: Usain Bolt
From memory he was training with Dortmund I think during the Summer months before last season. The trainer at the time, Peter Stöger, was politely damning. He said something like he has a load of enthusiasm but does not have the tactical awareness that a modern pro needs. Needless to say, Bolt did not get a contract. Since then, he has been angling for a chance in the Australian League but one of the rival managers, Markus Babbel, said to the German press words to the effect of "he will not make it even in 100 years. As a player I would feel like I am being taken the p#ss out of. As a publicity stunt though it is sensational and the A league gets a load of attention but, honestly said, I can not take it seriously". That probably sums it up I would imagine.houseboy wrote:Been speaking with a work mate this morning about this and apparently he has seen him play (for a German team?) and says if you take away his speed there is nothing there.
