I think this might have some Bias towards Nike but not sure

Joe Cole number 10? Jeez, I wouldn't of expected that, fair play to the guy though!

[BLUENUT]

The trouble with SWP is whenever he runs with the ball it's usually a foot behind him!! I don't think I have ever seen a professional footballer so regularly go on a run and leave the ball behind!!

Joe Cole to make a fastest with the ball poll {SMILIES_PATH}/300.gif

How on earth can you be faster WITH the ball than without it?  {SMILIES_PATH}/icon_eek.gif  {SMILIES_PATH}/300.gif

Or is the ball to some players like an electric rabbit is to a greyhound...?  {SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif

I will argue till I am blue in the face on this one.. I didnt see it at first someone pointed out to me.

Joe Cole is decpetivley quick... Watch him closely compared to other players next match, espcially if he gets a run at defenders   {SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif

I will never forget Guillit either.. someone was writting in the press that he was slow, but he used to cover the pitch it seemed in a few strides. He was amazingly quick but you would never think of him as a quick player

[BLUENUT]

Robben is the quickest player I've seen with the ball for a few years, but I don't suppose it counts if he's in the back of a speeding ambulance.

Joe Cole would be a 'world beater' IF he had any pace.

He's still a better crosser than SWP.  {SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif

[The Moos]

Surely Agbonlahor must be on that list. He must be faster than Joey atleast. {SMILIES_PATH}/300.gif

[midlandblue]

Andrew Johnson is faster with the ball than without.............................how?

With no balls he weigh less

The young Mr Shevchenko, BHLHP*, was the fastest white player I had ever seen. Breathtakingly quick. In comparison, made Robben look like he was running through treacle.

[MURDOCH_(8)]

Overmars was a bit of a speed demon

I would say that Ashley Cole considers himself to be a bit of a 'fast player', however, not that fast it would seem, as it all caught up with him in the end.

Would be even funnier if it wasn't so true!!

Not if he remembers trying to deal with Agbonlohor - he was skinned

[Pauly]
