Beaker 0 Posted July 19, 2007 certainly an inspiring speaker <cough> loving the david brent style uncomfortable chat at the end Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grando 260 Posted July 19, 2007 I also liked the way he spoke without moving his lips. Those ventriloquial skills could be a godsend on the pitch - he could throw his voice to put opposing defenders off. Maybe he can even do affecting comedy sound effects like the hilarious bloke out of the Police Academy films, pretending to be a teammate and telling the goalkeeper to leave the ball before sneaking in to score.Bless him though, he only looks about 12. Will his mum and dad mind him being out of school to play for us? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hotdog 0 Posted July 19, 2007 The bit i thought was interesting was when Grant said "Obviously we have very good links with Chelsea", maybe a possibility of more loan players Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chicken 0 Posted July 19, 2007 Interestingly I looked up Lee Camp on wikipedia and the photo of him looks like he has been just let out of school!!!!I think Smith is just a bit bored thats all - I mean the questions were not exactly inspiring were they??!!! He opened up a little after Grant made a joke but you do have to remember that the lad is only 20 and this is probably one of his first press conferences.Lastly - it seems we have signed so many players we have run out of the yellow club shirts!

Canary Boy 0 Posted July 19, 2007 That was a bit rude, on 5 mintes, the camera turned round and everyone was stood over by the window talking...come on Press, this is a Chelsea player!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Holtys revenge 0 Posted July 20, 2007 Looking at his body language and from the way he spoke he didn''t appear particularly thrilled to be there. But then again, Beckham Rooney and countless others give the same impression most of the time. Let him do his talking on the pitch! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carrow Fink 0 Posted July 20, 2007 Don''t think you should read much in to it really, he just looked like a nervous young lad in a strange environment, I doubt he''s done much press work in the Chelsea Reserves?? CRS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
First Wizard 0 Posted July 20, 2007 Why can I never watch the Pink Un video''s? the buffering always crawls to around the 33% mark, than goes straight back to zero and starts again. I''ve even disabled all my Norton''s firewall and anit virus programmes to no avail.It never loads and I''ve never watched one yet!.Oh poo.[:''(] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tufnell Park Canary 0 Posted July 20, 2007 Hejust looked young and nervous. Many people get nervous when there are cameras pointed at them - he''ll soon get used to it. I think it''s refreshing that a player doesn''t seem to think he''s God''s gift.Also, he looked a bit embarrassed having to sit and listen to Grant sing his praises - it looked like a parents'' evening at school.

Pete Raven 276 Posted July 20, 2007 Hi Wiz,Sounds like your connection speed, not on dialup are you? Might be worth trying the videos in a few days when less people are watching them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you have, for example Winamp, simply go to FILE, ENTER URL and enter the direct url of the video, in this case:http://media.edp24.co.uk/Video/VideoStock/JimmySmith070719.wmvHope it helps!

Pete Raven 276 Posted July 20, 2007 Wiz, and anyone else still on dialup, I may have a solution. I will shortly be creating an audio file of each press conference for you to listen to. Obviously this will be a much smaller file that you should have no trouble listening to. Watch this space! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
