headless , dribbling chicken

What a player he could have been, for the amount of talent he has/had , he deserves to win this dishonor

Very very selfish too

in my homeland , there's a saying which goes like this , "he who has no brains... has the legs" , ..quite on topic and very accurate with regards to Quaresma.

Though , i think if Quaresma was a bit less selfish , he would have had a better career to remember

I think they are talking about a workhorse?

Like someone who makes up for lack of intelligence for grit and determination?

Otherwise, yes he could have. I always liked him ( ever since his earlier days ) , he can do some wicked stuff, but no end product or selflessness

Well over a 100 caps for Liverpool. He got many many chances. A talented player with no brain is the perfect description of Babel.

But passing sideways requires a lot of skill and intelligence, just ask Xavi

but Walcott has no skill at all... he's just a sprinter who got lost on the football pitch

Ask Maxwell and Valdes how much skill Walcott lacks

aw, come on you can give him more credit than that. he's become a pretty decent finisher (hoping he becomes clinical)

by kiranr Sun Aug 14, 2011 5:47 pm

Walcott has decent skill. He qualifies for this thread!

I don't watch them week in and week out but i do catch many of them, Denilson didn't even play much last season anyways.

But his positioning is great, he's always in a spot to receive a pass and keep possession. His stats almost always show 95%+ pass completion rate and tons of passes, this cannot be possible if you have a bad footballing brain and don't know how to position yourself.

You seem to be the Brazil fan, please tell me without bias that Neymar doesn't sometimes dribble or shoot when a pass would be better.

No, Neymar is actually very good in decision making
I believe it's a bad theory being built that players who dribble a lot aren't intelligent

Lol, Kalou's only skill is goal poaching.

I think every Chelsea fan wanted him out but he's likely to leave next season.

No one is building any theory that players who dribble a lot aren't intelligent, some are just saying that when it comes down to decision making they dribble when they should have passed for example.
