I know right! I haven't been insulted before 9am since Jonny was here.

it's early...ive been driving since 5am...I am not going back and actually read what you put and change it before the "edited" appears on my post.

It is what it is.

Gift can be memes. Memes existed before the Internet did.

Key difference for me on those lists between Leeds and EP is mobility. Pretty much everyone on Leeds' list is fairly mobile despite their size, nearly everyone EP mentioned was slow as fuck, for me that's where the age barrier lies rather than strength.

Plenty of different styles between them though, Haaland isn't much of a target man despite his size and strength, wouldn't say it was Isak's best suit either. Just like Larsen, being big doesn't necessarily make you a particular type of player.

I understood what you meant a proper British style CF is fucking rare these days.
There is so much more now to CF's than their used to be.

Isak is new type of Striker, more like a Rooney, than a Bull.

Isak gave Arsenal a right doing last night.

24 is young for a Centre Forward, there will always be exceptions to that rule, but by and large forwards tend to Peak at 28 - 30.

Especially with the change in game, players are much bigger, faster, and Stronger than they used to be, it seems to be now players have to be 6 feet plus, where as 5'7", to 6'0 was normal in the period 60's to 80's.



Football at the top has improved even League 2 etc, yet further down the pyramid you get it's got worse, that has a lot to do with Numbers i guess, we never had Games Consoles, Mobiles, and pc's so we tended to play sports.

I watched a Amateur game when i was back last year the standard was awful, but they were fitter thats entirely due to the increase in sports Science

Back on Topic Strand has a decent future and should see a steady increase over the bext 2 or 3 years, Has Isak, Haaland, et al Peaked already, and we will see a decline over the next few years who knows.

Haaland is just a freak (In a Good Way), so quick, strong and incredibly built for someone so young.

Unbelievable.

 

[Tony Towner]

Unbelievable.

If anything deserves a ban that does, just surprised he didn't achieve the full monty by talking about penis size

Probably thinks we need a few more players from martial races in midfield.
