Transfer Rumour Philippe Coutinho

He's not rapid. He's not outright slow like a Sigurdsson, Iwobi or James but he's by no means quick either.

In our side he'd look like Usain Bolt in comparison like.

He has acceleration and can actually dribble, pace over 5-10 yards is something we do not have in the team anywhere.
 
As much as I want him my only concern is his knee injury - he's been out approx 4 months so I imagine any deal would only be properly carved out in June/July once its been 6-7 months and the club have a better idea of his general fitness.

Still think its paper talk mind.

We're being used to drive up interest. That said, we're all bored, so it's something to talk about.

Agree with this and to be honest he doesn’t need to be rapid with the skill he has.
 
We have to be right up there in terms of being one of the slowest overall teams in English football.

Godfrey is our quickest player by a mile.

Yeah we are, it’s hard work watching us try and construct an attack from deep inside our own half. Just have no one that can pick the ball up and bring it 20 yards up the pitch, takes us about 15 passes to get from the edge of our box to the half way line.

Horse crap.

Dom, Rico, Mina, Coleman, Holgate, King, Digne can all run quite fast.

Sick of people saying we have no pace cos Iceberg plays at walking speed.
 

Yes, I watch us play football.

We are slow at building attacks, we don't attack with any pace at all, slow passing, very little attempt to break the lines.

That doesn't mean we don't have players with pace.

None of those players can run with the ball at their feet with any sort of speed, not a single one of them.

Coleman uses to be quick, he's lost more than a yard of pace. In fact, he's completely finished if we're being brutally honest, as much as I've loved him as a player.

Digne isn't that quick, same as Baines. Not what his outstanding attribute is.

DCL and to a lesser extent Richarlison are somewhat fast but in terms of transitioning the ball up the field they can't really use that trait to contribute other than via the long ball.

King doesn't play, Mina is slightly above average in terms of pace but mostly just looks quick with his mad sprinting action, and Holgate is average.

We have relatively slow full backs and a horrendously slow midfield. Perfect signings for me would be Aarons and Saint-Maximin, although one of those is obviously impossible.
