Hes 5:7 and weights 11:8 which makes him overweight according to that site which if your working as in medical position in ireland is your bible (see who runs its).

Again nope, you're being deliberately obtuse.

Those websites are a general guide, they're not used as a medical reference by any doctor (and I don't work in Ireland) anywhere.

If you followed those sites, a 5'7 bodybuilder with 7% bodyfat could be overweight as could a size 8 girl with D-cup breasts.

The guy cant run it was proven in every minute where he had the ball.

You brought up scientific crap and i googled nutrition.ie

The guy has a history of being "overweight" or "struggling with weight " issues Yet you overlook that as a fan in order to put forward a medical point he is fit. Where its clearly obvious that he isnt.

As its my opinion that is complete ignorance of the facts, why does he play for Charlton if he is "that" good and "fit" ?

The complete CMF thread pretty much sums up what a CMF should do, he cant do one but relies on others to help him with his shortcomings (tackling, running,getting the ball, running with the ball, obviously not needed but do help afaik).

Put a tick beside Andrea Pirlo for all of those...

nutrition.ie isn't an indicator of anything it's a guide for the general public in Ireland, who quite frankly - given what I saw on my last trip home, need a bit of basic nutritional advice. I'm fairly certain that Andy Reid has access to far more accurate and helpful resources than a website.

Just read the terms of use for the website (link at bottom of the page):

Who is the record of being overweight with?

The only person he's worked with to say he was overweight was Gary Megson, who made the comment after he'd left Forest as an attempt to divert attention from his dismal management record.

Find me a link from one professional who stated that he was overweight while at the same club and I'll concede.

So you think a midfielder who cant beat a man, cant run, cant tackle but has an excellent passing range when in time and space is a complete midfielder?


You would be off your head to play a player like Reid in central midfield vs a team like germany, he played on the wing in the PL for spurs for a reason!

Where did I ever say he was the complete midfielder

I've said he was world class against Germany and have defended his ability to play and be a great central midfielder.

He can run, beat a man and tackle (he put in several effective tackles on Saturday).

I don't understand your last comment about needing to be off your head to play him there against the Germans after the performance that pointed to the contrary Are you sure you were watching the right game?!

Thanx 4 The Fish

Enough is enough.
