Carrow89 0 Posted September 30, 2015 That''s what a number of the pundits are saying. For a start he would cover a far greater distance so he would be better on that stat alone. Headers. He would win more and so probably score more from corners and set pieces. But his wages would then be higher. Not that we pay players by the yard, but that a better player would want more money. Spain have done really well with a lot of shorties. Perhaps we need more. Who knows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rolf Harris 31 Posted September 30, 2015 No, doesn''t his low centre of gravity make him the player he is? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lessingham Canary 99 Posted September 30, 2015 Must be quiet in Cork tonight !Wes would win more headers if he was taller, would probably get charged full fare on the bus, would not mixed up with mascots pre match, would have to pay more for his clothes, but i doubt he would be a better player, his low centre of gravity, eye for a pass and speed of thought are what makes him the player he is, IMO.

Lessingham Canary 99 Posted September 30, 2015 My favourite Irish song, now adopted / adapted by Liverpool as well as Celtic fans, just for you Corky.........By a lonely prison wall I heard a young girl calling Micheal they are taking you away For you stole Trevelyn''s corn So the young might see the morn. Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay. Low lie the Fields of Athenry Where once we watched the small free birds fly. Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing It''s so lonely ''round the Fields of Athenry. By a lonely prison wall I heard a young man calling Nothing matters Mary when you''re free, Against the Famine and the Crown I rebelled they ran me down Now you must raise our child with dignity. Low lie the Fields of Athenry Where once we watched the small free birds fly. Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing It''s so lonely ''round the Fields of Athenry. By a lonely harbor wall She watched the last star falling As that prison ship sailed out against the sky Sure she''ll wait and hope and pray For her love in Botany Bay It''s so lonely ''round the Fields of Athenry. Low lie the Fields of Athenry Where once we watched the small free birds fly. Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing It''s so lonely ''round the Fields of Athenry.

coachkemp 0 Posted October 2, 2015 He probably would of been coached as a very different player possibly in a different position with very different attributes if he was born a bit taller so its not really comparible. If he was 6ft 2 he probably wouldn''t be a number 10 with the turning circle of a flea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
