You get a punch on the nose from Stevie G if you don’t get it.
I’d say, I’d get my coat but… apparently no jacket is required.

I feel so good if I just say the word ... Seskodio, just say the word

I want this guy, mostly because I have seen Arsenal & United fans putting him top of their wish list. I like that his goals even at his young age have come in a tough league rather than Gyorkes who could have a bit of the Darwins about him from the Portuguese league.
He also adds a physical threat down the middle which we need. A threat, not just a body with a ponytail.
Let's do business Agent Klopp

Usain Bolt is 6ft 6 and isn't exactly a slouch... if we're using height as a barometer of pace.
FFS, I just got it...Phil Collins
Don't complicate things. "Any one up for some Seskobab?" Would have been enough and it's closer to the pronounciation of his name.
And when the Cherki thread gets started:
It’ll be a total circle cherki!!!
I could have put money on someone bringing up his name! Exception that proves the rule eh.
I think the top 10 sprint record holders are all very very tall probably....there is no way that's an exception. Unless we are mistaking agility with speed.
I think you often look for players that have that burst of acceleration.
Exactly. Gakpo is very fast (faster than Mo.) but not off the mark. Acceleration is what gets you past players not how fast you can run 50m.
OK lets's look at that shall we? Going by the Top 10 fastest in both 100m and 60m. I'm not including Usain Bolt because we know all about him and he was a phenomenon, not really representative.
`There's a pretty clear delineation. You usually need height and a long stride to get up to speed in 100m whereas for 60m you need off the block acceleration and there's not one sprinter over 5' 11" in the fastest of all time 60m sprinters. We don't need 100m sprinters - we need 60m sprinters that can blow past defenders with their acceleration (Frimpong at 5' 8" anyone)?
Even at 100m fully half of the all time fastest are 5' 11" or shorter.
100m - Top 10 All Time
Kishane Thompson - 1.85m
Chambers - 5' 11"
Jacobs - 6' 1"
Tyson Gay - 5' 11"
Yohan Blake 5' 11"
Powell - 6' 3"
Omurwa 5' 9"
Gatlin 6' 1"
Kerley 6' 3"
Bromell 5' 8"
Coleman - 5' 9"
Now let's look at the more pertinent 60m sprinters because that is far more relevant to football than sprinters who get their pace up around the 50m-60m mark in a 100m race. I'll take your Bolt and raise you 😛
60m - Top 10 All time
Bromell - 5' 8"
Su Bintian - 5' 8"
Cason - 5' 7"
Baker - 5' 10" (3rd fastest ever)
Greene - 5' 9" (2nd fastest ever)
Coleman - 5' 9" (fastest ever over 60m)
Surin 5' 11"
Bracy 5' 9"
