** Official ** Season 2010/2011 Pre-Season thread

Hernandez is looking the real deal

At least 3 goals iirc in mexico's warm up games before the world cup (1 against Holland)
2 goals in 4 games at the world cup (against France and Argentina)
2 goals in his only 2 pre season games, one actually against us

As a team we've got nom problem creating chances the problem last season was when Rooney wasn't fit we had no one to put them away, this kid looks like a natural born goal scorer

I only do football threads. Oh wait.. :D :p

I think it's a big risk going into the new season without a quality backup to replace VDS when he retires. As much as Kuszczak did well last season when he stepped in, I'd feel better not relying on him at all.

There's no chance that Lampard is faster than Rooney, he just had a bad tournament and wasn't on the pace at all. I've seen other sources where Rooney finishes in the top 5 in the EPL, amongst the likes of Walcott, Torres, Lennon and Agbonlahor.

I'd really love to see proper tests though just for fun to see how fast some players really are, working distances and speeds out during a football match doesn't really give an accurate figure on fast they can really run.
 
Here's the official Castrol speedmerchant list for the premiership (based on 2007-9 data I think):

WALCOTT 22.72 mph
CAMPBELL 22.50 mph
DROGBA 22.27 mph
TORRES 22.27 mph
ANELKA 22.05 mph
FABREGAS 22.05 mph
A COLE 22.05 mph
CLICHY 21.82 mph
ROONEY 21.82 mph
GERRARD 21.60 mph
ROBINHO 21.60 mph

Yes, that's Sol Campbell, not Frazer :)
The likes of Lennon and Agbonlahor simply couldn't live with him in a footrace, try harder boys.
 
^ true, they are just lacking end product!

Fabregas faster than Clichy! I highly doubt that, fabregas is pretty slow.
 
Fortune is a terrible finisher.

I wouldn't say Fabregas is slow, we don't get to see him sprint that much though because of the position he plays in. I'd still doubt the credibility of that table though, I would say Clichy is faster than Fabregas.
