Try him. Blistering pace and his crossing can't be any worse than the likes of Walcott.

Probab figures if Gibson can get a game, why not

Could be good having the worlds fastest man on your side when your on the counter attack.

Have you seen him play? Do you know that hes not good enough?

Morba · 9 Jun 2011 at 21:10

It wouldn't surprise me if he was good enough to play Prem football tbh

Looking at his generally lazy attitude towards training I doubt he'd do well. Has anyone pointed out to him that running constantly for 9 seconds, once, isn't the same as running continually for 90+ minutes and recovering from sprints?

Looooool.

+1

wait until he has someone:

pulling his shirt
barging into him
slide tackling him
etc.

whilst having to:

control a ball
stay within the pitch
looking for team mates
cross the ball
etc

he has 1 thing pace and that's it, without anything else i doubt he could get a game in the SPL.

I can't see it tbh. I remember last year or year before when Dwayne Chambers thought he could play rugby and trained with Castleford Tigers for a while.... he was terrible.

If Bebe is good enough he's got to be in with a shout.

I thought that was the press putting a negative spin on it due to the drug issue :confused:

I remember when Darren Campbell played for Newport County. Lightning fast, could run on to any through ball, but couldn't hit a barn door once he got there.

You're talking about a team who signed Dimitar Berbatov here

Love to see it happen. I bet he'll look like a donkey. Yeah you can have pace but I doubt he could run with any significant pace. I think people underestimate just how good professionals are.

But I also think people under estimate the vast amounts of natural ability athletes like Bolt have. No, he probably wouldn't be any good, but I don't think he could be written off without seeing him.

Don't underestimate this guy. A year or two back, he bowled Chris Gayle out, and then hit Chris Gayle for a six!

Really ? He's the fastest man on the planet but he's lazy in training
