Quincy Owusu-Abeyie.

On trial at Bristol City. Always rated him since he was a youngster at The Arsenal.
Very very quick and skilfull.
I would like to see him at BDTBL. Much better option for him than Brizzle I would have thought.

Rated him when I first saw him, not so sure now. Played for Brum on and off last season and flattered to deceive. Don't we have enough players like that already?

 

[JJ Sefton]

Indeed. Strikes me as a cross between Adrian Littlejohn and Franz Carr.

Sadly, we don't have enough quick and skillful players (and tall players) - which is why going to Lane in past 24 months has at times been very painful and more importantly has been why we haven't got promoted inspite of huge financial advantages over the vast majority of the competition. Never mind though - Blackie is the man, a modern, forward thinking football manager who is determined to show it is possible to win promotion with the smallest, weakest and slowest midfield in history

I remember seeing Quincy in the game we lost on penalties to Arsenal a few years ago and he remains easily the quickest player I have seen at Bramall Lane. I'd much rather see him than Reid in our squad but he's had his chances now and failed to really produce so it shows pace isn't everything.

I thought Reid looked quite useful and quick in that practice game they played on the Open Day but then I remembered he was up against Ryan France.

Our midfield is a source of frustration for me too Micalijo. You say the last 2 years, but I would go back to Michael Brown being the last midfielder who actually made us shine in 02/03. We have had the quality (Tonge, Hendrie, Speed etc) but for whatever reason it never seems to work.

As for quick players, I think you would have to go some way to beat Kabba when he first played for us. He was seriously rapido.

As far as i Know he's Ghanaian . I also think its the infamous African Nations Cup this year.

In which case i wouldn't be signing any player who dissapears for a month or so during the January.

if we're talking pace, anybody remember luton shelton? the jamaican? he was rapid!

I know Luton Shelton was quick but that was all he was. Hussain Bolt's quick but I bet he can't football.
Quincy has all the skill in world as well as pace. Don't know what went wrong at Arsenal with Wenger shipping him out to Russia but he was a class act when we played the Arsenal 'kids' at the Lane.:thumbup:

Well for starters he's not a midfield midget. He's quick and skilfull.
Ah.....remembered....he has never scored many goals. Should be OK then !

Going wrong at Arsenal is understandable, but Birmingham and Cardiff less so.
