Would you have Usain Bolt at the Lane?

[TJB.]

Scored a couple for Central Coast Mariners last night. Playing up front with Ross McCormack!

Would you have him here? I personally wouldn't but it's the international break so the time is ripe for stupid questions.

 

[Scooter_mcgavin]

Yes and whilst we're at it can we get Greg Rutherford for goals too?

That’s a bit of a leap.......

I heard Colin Jackson was going to sign but too many hurdles to overcome

 

[Scooter_mcgavin]

Joking aside, I would definitely offer a place to Michelle Jenneker.

Billy can't keep scoring forever. Eventually he'll have to pass the baton to someone else.

 

[Stretch]

Shit keeping to be fair, getting beat at the near post like that. But still GLTTL.

On and, no he's a sprinter you tit!

 

[RealMcCoy]

Bolt the blade.
What’s not to like ( except possibly his success as a player?)

 

[BLADES1988]

He's not French

 

[SwissBlade]

Can he track back ?

Wheatabix Dive is what my generation used to call that.

Interesting that it was his strength rather than his pace which created the space for the shot

Until you Google the opposition he was up against...

"Usain Bolt’s journey to become a professional footballer takes its next step, giving fans the opportunity to see the Jamaican sprint king in action against a team of NPL players from Sydney’s South West coached by former Socceroo Nick Carle.

The Macarthur South West United team will be made up of the region’s best NPL players from: Sydney Olympic FC, Sydney United 58 FC, SD Raiders FC & Macarthur Rams FC."

[Lil red rooster]

piggies would have him ,he's a name .

 

[RedandWhite]

Guess how many passes he completed this game... 2.

 

[ben1987]

He usually looks an absolute donkey with the ball at his feet whenever I’ve seen him

With our style of play we hardly ever have anyone running in behind so his best asset wouldn’t suit our play style.

So it’s a no from me - might sell a few shirts though.

 

[bladesmanluke]

He’d sell enough shirts to give us a few extra quid for the January window so why not?

 

[Tony Kenworthy]

...isn't this why we set up the partnership with Central Coast Mariners? If any coach could coach the pace out of Usain Bolt, it's Monty.

 

[TJB.]

Could be useful towards the back end of the season.

After all, it's a marathon, not a sprint.

Surely we should be looking at Mo Farah rather than Usain Bolt then?

 

[SB_90]

he purely a commercial deal for revenue & publicity. he's not good enough for our level but hes more conference level for me. id still love him just for opportunity to get a picture, as he was the greatest sprinter in Olympic history, broke barriers that seem impossible. unfortuantly this is 1 barrier he may not achieve as A league is high as he will go

 

[RealMcCoy]

Both in to the net to be fair.

He's off to Forest Green Rovers on a free. Summet to do with his Quorn sponsorship. Very dodgy stuff.

 

[Blade-on-Tyne]

He doesn't seem to be pulling in many Aussie fans to judge by the number of empty seats.

Nick Carle, he was a dirty cunt.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Can he track back ?

Only at light speed.

 

[RammyBlade]

Joking aside, I would definitely offer a place to Michelle Jenneker.

Mmmmmmm I can think of a few places I would like her to be !! Aussie beauty at its best

 

[Davalon]

It's a gimmick.

He shouldn't be anywhere a credible pro team.
