I agree with all of the above apart from this bit 'Buxton, is too small, too slow, and not Good enough standard to be in our team anymore.

Today's young fast forwards all look about 6 ft 13" he's just a very good none league player. Very funny. Anybody who is over 7 feet tall as you describe, cannot be fast over short distances as their stride is too long. That is the body of loper and jumper, a basketball player's physique. However, at times, he did struggle in the air against tall forwards. With his two footed ability to hit quick accurate long passes allied to his tough tackling, I think he would still make a really good defensive midfielder. BUT, you are missing what else he brought to our team - PASSION. If you don't think that's important, as a direct comparison, trying reading new Chelsea manager Conte's opinion of what John Terry brings to their squad "whether playing or not playing." Surprise, surprise - passion!!! That's exactly why Conte wants to keep him there. So anyway, how many big club sides and national teams have you managed to make your opinion more valid than his on this subject? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, football isn't played in straight lines is it? Otherwise Usain Bolt would be halfway down the A52 before a ball was kicked. As the bishop said to the actress, four inches is nothing baby!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What an oppositional chap you are. But at least consistent. What , like "Mister Stats" aka the pedant PC? FYO information, Hector never ran in straight lines but zigzagged all over the place. So by your yardstick, we should actually be signing Bolt, the fastest man on the planet. FFS, get real dude. BTW. The latest "straight liner" we had was Dean Sturridge. But Kevin scored a few more goals, as I recall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
