Shola Ameobi is more of a footballer than people give him credit for

.

 

Don't even go there!! he doesn't score enough goals but he is a good impact sub on occasion.

 

Shola deserves massive credit for changing his style of play in the last couple years. He's really become an important player for us

 

I've spent a few minutes thinking whether this was even worth a response Tash, I'm probably making the wrong decision arguing with you since you probably have the intellectual aptitude of a ****ing mole rat. But here goes anyhow.

YOU, stated an obvious fact to begin with. YOU stated that if it wasn't for his size and lack of agility (see "Agile", adj, Quick in movement) he'd be able to beat players more often. So let's just get that straight, YOU stated the obvious. You said, if he was more agile, he'd be quicker, essentially. You made a direct reference to his size and speed and quoted that he'd be better at beating people if you take this away from his game. If Usain Bolt carried a 50Kg backpack during the 100m sprint, he'd be less likely to win pal.

I stated that if you took away his size and strength and swapped it for agility and speed, you have a totally separate player on your hands. What I was pointing out is that your comment, as much as you seem to think it is objective, is actually redundant, it's an absolutely pointless argument to make. My inference was that he'd be a totally different player, therefore you can't predict how good he would be, he might end up playing football in The Ryman Leagues. If Messi bulked up, and grew another foot taller he'd be more likely to win more aerial challenges and score more headers.

Capiche?

 

I'm going to say it

"Shola is a nice lad with a good attitude, however he is simply not consistant and doesn't score enough goals "

He should only ever play against Sunderland
