Trust me. I've seen very, very slow strikers and I definitely wouldn't use that description of him. I'd say he was average. Not noticeably slow or fast.
Losing him is a massive blow to us. Without him, the only player I can see grabbing more than the odd goal is the newly returned Lewis Baker.

Fair, I saw it said by Stokies in a few places, hence I said apparently.

Never mind DK, I'm pretty confident Stoke will somehow find a way to rim us the way our luck's going at the minute.

Asking for a friend, us rimming considered a bad thing to receive?

Baker free-kick. He has that Stein/Fuller look of a player who enjoys playing against the Albion.
Frankly though, I think this has 0-0 all over it.

He'd fit in well at our place then.

Ings had a good career with no real pace tbf. Phillips too. That said we can't afford him irrespective of amortisation without selling Tom Fellows.

Oh indeed, certainly not saying he's rubbish because of it. However it will be a hindrance at the very top in the modern game.

Premier League clubs have cottoned on to the whole "pure profit" thing now so they can send kids out at the start of season, hope they have a good few months then recall and sell.

I've seen it said too, Birdie, but I've seen him rip past a couple of defenders when chasing the ball down. I just think he picks snd chooses when to turn it on.
If Cannon is very, very slow, I'm really not sure if a description has yet been invented for Vidigal.
