"In Italy, they say I'm faster than the ball"

[Guest toonlass]

Its a great read that, Oba obviously loves his football, and seems in no hurry to leave the toon. I hope his career in the black and white stripes is a long and happy one.

I think i've decided now who's name i'm putting on that "horrible" ( )  third kit.

With the way Oba's game is actually setup I can't really recally many times when we've seen him actually run at his fastest, completely leaving the last man for dead. Which is quite a shame really, as with his pace if only he was a more direct runner and played on the shoulder of the last man.

 

Remember mind against Everton last season when it was only about a 10 yard chase for the ball and the Everton player had about a 5 yard head start and he just skipped past him and got the ball. I was like fuck me.

Shame his brain is slower than a snail.

Aye, he's too stupid to maximise his pace and turn it into a real asset imo.

Certainly - especially if the quote is used in Italy in the same way as in Germany. Here saying "he's quicker than the ball" isn't really a compliment but reserved for players who can run fast, but have absolutely no ball control...

 

And what's this about monkey posts? Racist.
