    Looks potentially like a RWB then. Style comparison = Carlos Alberto!

    I know it's just a lazy comparison but Carlos wasn't a great full back, he was just ****ing brilliant at shooting, crossing and set pieces. Still, I'd take that from this kid :emoticon-0148-yes:

    Style comparison is Carlos Alberto. Still, not a bad comparison!

    The greatest centre back in the history of the game was 5ft 9.

    James Chester is 5 ft 8 according to Google...

    I agree with BCC though. Athleticism can make up for a lack of height.

    I thought Mark Greaves was closer to 6ft-ish.

    Junior's girlfriend once raced against Aina at school.

    She lost. He was very quick apparently.

    Useless piece of info for the day...

    Or a (sober) Paul Gascoigne, who said he was the best player he ever played against and that he didn't run "cos he never needed to, he just knew where the ball would go and he stood there". To cap it all he was of course an Inter fan who failed a trial there...

    He was really **** in the final of USA 94, when after getting injured in the first group game he was written off completely before making a miraculous recovery and then shoved straight back into the starting line-up.
