just saw a picture of the guy looking in great shape in the training thread
It's posted up there isn't it? My point is that he shouldn't even be getting into poor shape, considering.
well it's a month to the start of the season and he looks in great shape
Like I say, that's not the point really. I'm sure he will be ready for the season. If I was getting paid a shit tonne of money and not playing much football because my dedication and attitude had been called into question multiple times, I'd probably not get fat at any point.
Any good diet counsellor will tell you that the best way to remain motivated to lose weight is to visualize your body after your weight loss goals are achieved. A great many people with weight problems struggle to see themselves as a slimmer, healthier and altogether more confident person. Luke Shaw going to the effort of filtering the photo is simply his way of visualising how he wishes to look in the future.
Waiting to sign a LB first probably.
Totally doubt that, he's our 2nd/3rd choice left back and should have nothing to do with our negotiation for a first choice left back. You can't tell me if a club offers us good money for him right now and we're interested in selling we'd be telling them to hold off until we replace him. We'll just keep him along with Blind, Darmian and Rojo to pay their wages for the heck of it as usual
Maintaining a lean body is 90% effort 10% gene
He's a player on big wages who barely plays, of course no one will be offering anything reasonable. If you want to get rid of these kind if players the club has to actually make an effort
Have to call this out for what it is. If you are implying that Ronaldo doesn't have immense natural talent, I have to disagree. Yes, he has worked his arse off to constantly improve but the player we've seen for the last 10 years is the marriage of talent and dedication. I think the notion has arisen because Messi is probably the most naturally gifted player of all time and the two are so often compared. It's something that has been creeping into debates for a while now, that Ronaldo is purely brawn over brains, but surely talentwise he is up there with the greatest of all time as well.
Oh talentwise hes top 20 in the world. But it's the effort that makes him contender for goat.
Ahh thanks for clarifying, I agree. Case in point Gary Neville, John O'Shea and others.
He's only got a year left on his deal though. So I can see why we wouldn't be overly bothered.
Yeah money for nothing just like Fellaini's barber. Brilliant username got me in stitches!
So if he takes a couple weeks off keeping lean as he can be, that means he isn't putting in effort? Especially since he clearly was able to be into a shape what people perceive as putting a lot of effort within a short time frame.
Takeaway would actually be the better option.
I can still see plenty of fat.
First time I read this bit in bold, I missed the comma and thought "he's already eating shit by the look of him!"It is bewilderingly easy to get in astonishing shape. Not quite as easy as it is to get fat, but close enough.
He has the best of everything available to him. Chefs, nutritionists, money, free time, coaches. I blame the club as much as I blame Shaw. He seems to be monumentally immature. He's a 22 year old child. He'd do well to move into a house with another top professional, eat, shit, sleep fitness and good choices for 3 months, declare himself unavailable for the first team squad until he's fit, then take it from there.
Laziness causes an athlete to look like that. He's easily 7-10kg's overweight for an athlete. You can't put that kind of timber on in 4-5 weeks without a genuine effort. He looks like the average bloke that works out three times a week and drinks beer five times a week. That kind of all over layer of fat. Shoulders, back, arms, legs.
He needs a Charles Barkley clause in his contract extension.
This.
Nah not really . This is 8 years ago ..
Everytime Sanchez instastory pops up its been about him running in the desert/beach/wherever he's enjoying his holiday.
Seems an extreme length to go to to lose weight but whatever works Luke
Ha, knew that was coimig.
