not only is he slow, he's also slow to reactSmalling may be many things but slow isnt one of them

still disagree but let's say "slow to react"If Smalling is snail, then most other CBs will be just stationary rocks. Not sure what you have been watching if you think he is slow. Clumsy maybe, but slow????
well I reckon he's looks fast on the pitch because Jones is even slowerI'd love to see you watching a snail.
Smalling wins the races in training and often keeps up with fast forwards
Love how people proclaim to know this just because a young player was unable to break into one of the best sides in world football.Barca got very lucky, clearly he doesn’t have the mentality to play at a big club, and they want rid - he scores some goals at the WC and a PL club throw £30m at him. They must be laughing their socks off, treble their money in 6 months on a player they don’t even want!
You are blind thennot only is he slow, he's also slow to react
thanks.. I didn't realise you worked for Boots OpticiansYou are blind then
He isn't slow, but would agree to that. His response and agility levels are rather poor, along with his ability on the ball, tendency to slow our build up from behind and occasional brainfart.not only is he slow, he's also slow to react
I'm not sure this is true. I'm sure they are happy with the profit but I'm not sure he's leaving due to his mentality. I read that he is leaving as Barca need to make way for another non - EU player in the shape of Vidal. I think it is just to facilitate their register of non EU players.Barca got very lucky, clearly he doesn’t have the mentality to play at a big club, and they want rid - he scores some goals at the WC and a PL club throw £30m at him.

Jones certainly seems to have lost some pace, at one point he was almost as fast as Smalling but now not so much. But I'm not comparing Smalling to Jones, I'm comparing him to fast forwards who never get away from himwell I reckon he's looks fast on the pitch because Jones is even slower
Nah. Jones, a player Smalling doesn't even pair up with all that often, makes Smalling appear quicker than he is, even when Jones isn't on the pitch.

"Top Belgian paper" is kinda funny It's probably the worst paper, all celebrity and gossip. Kristof Terreur is a decent source though.HLN - Top belgian paper claims absolutely no offers for Yerry Mina and that we've been chasing Toby since last winter.

Fair point, probably should've worded it differently. Tad over-excitment to see concrete Toby reporting and no Mina bids"Top Belgian paper" is kinda funny It's probably the worst paper, all celebrity and gossip. Kristof Terreur is a decent source though.

He had an interview in which he said Barca was too much and he wants to join a team with less pressure where he can get minutes, big clubs aren't likely to offer him that after his stint at Barca.Love how people proclaim to know this just because a young player was unable to break into one of the best sides in world football.
Maybe watch a little bit closer.well, I've only been watching since about 1968. smalling is a liability for one major reason: he can't defend, but yes he is slow too
It's idiotic.Saying that Smalling is slow is ridiculous
Smalling is one of the fastest CBs in world football.what? smalling is a snail
I honestly don't understand this. How could anybody actual watch us play and be this far off about a player who has been in our starting team for the majority of the last four seasons?what? smalling is a snail
Is this a thing now? For all of our players? Christ, things really are bad on here.Never been into Smallcafe religion, but saying Smalling is slow is absolutely ridiculous. He is very fast, despite being a giant.
Oh wow.what? smalling is a snail
Was that interview in english?He had an interview in which he said Barca was too much and he wants to join a team with less pressure where he can get minutes, big clubs aren't likely to offer him that after his stint at Barca.
Im pretty sure Simon Stone said we werent in for Mina a few weeks ago.mina has been using our name from the first bunch of rumours to up his fee and wage. i bet you that we never even explore the option
I’m certain this is correct. He’s not in any way the profile of player we want, we need a player who can go straight into the team, not a project - we already have Bailly and Lindelof.mina has been using our name from the first bunch of rumours to up his fee and wage. i bet you that we never even explore the option
He ain't faster than Baily.I honestly don't understand this. How could anybody actual watch us play and be this far off about a player who has been in our starting team for the majority of the last four seasons?
Smalling is significantly faster than any of our centrebacks other than maybe Bailly (and Smalling is probably faster than him too). Indeed, he's one of the fastest central defenders in the league. Because of his sheer size he doesn't have the explosive acceleration off the mark that Bailly has and he can take a couple of steps to really get going if he's turned, but he's fast enough that 90% of the time he quickly makes that back up.
Bailly is certainly faster on the first couple of steps, but I reckon Smalling is probably a little faster once he gets going.He ain't faster than Baily.
Also one of the first names on the team sheet of the team that finished 2nd last season.He is the sort of player relegation contenders would fight to sign. Have we fallen so low.
Finished second where?Also one of the first names on the team sheet of the team that finished 2nd last season.
Suggests you have no idea what you're talking about
Only if you believe everything thats written. Do you?He is the sort of player relegation contenders would fight to sign. Have we fallen so low.
Doesn't the Sun have the largest circulation out of the daily newspapers in the UK? Or maybe it's the Metro now. Either way, point still stands: the top paper can be the worst one at the same time."Top Belgian paper" is kinda funny It's probably the worst paper, all celebrity and gossip. Kristof Terreur is a decent source though.
This isn't the Chris Smalling thread, man. Though I understand why you'd make that mistake.Also one of the first names on the team sheet of the team that finished 2nd last season.

Funny, I was under the impression he played five games for the Champions last year, but not good enough for them.Also one of the first names on the team sheet of the team that finished 2nd last season.

My bad, thought you were continuing the discussion on Smalling. Makes more sense now Although I do still disagree with that being said about Mina too.Funny, I was under the impression he played five games for the Champions last year, but not good enough for them.
