8pints Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/44300269 Quote Eight-time Olympic champion Usain Bolt is training with Norwegian top-flight football team Stromsgodset. Quote Bolt, the 100m and 200m world record holder, has already trained with Borussia Dortmund and South African club Sundowns this year. Quote "Maybe a club will see something and decide to give me a chance," said Bolt Finances are tight but surely we could rival any package being offered by Stromsgodset if they made that choice? And he can't moan about the weather here if he's training in Norway. Okay, it's another player dreaming of ultimately playing for Manure but pace, energy, composure, strength, height and personality........ worth it in my opinion. Quote "He is a good football player, otherwise he would not have been training with us," said Stromsgodset director of football Jostein Flo. A few professionals (Xavi for one) and the Dortmund coach (Stoger) are unimpressed but what would they say about Samba? Haters gonna Hate and he's bound to have learnedfrom these previous trials. He's a champion (Yes, in another sport but he has that ability) but crucially has the will to succeed in football. You could argue Federer and Nadal (And a few others) are also winners and like football but the difference is Bolt has a desire to actually play professionally. Quote "His presence will undoubtedly be a great inspiration for players, coaches, and the whole club." Obligatory Highlights video Okay, there's room for improvement but my highlight from these highlights is the header he scores. He's one of the captains for Soccer Aid June 10th so we'll have a look then. I'm not sure what position he is but I'm guessing winger/forward type thing? If I'm never getting Ronaldinho or Leon Bailey (although I've not given up on either if I'm honest) in a Villa shirt, I'll settle for Bolt. He's surely worth at least a trial? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaAlex Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 I hope we have people at the Toulon tournament. I know a few other Championship clubs such as Leeds and Swansea do. There are always some good affordable players on show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If nothing else he'd sell a shitload of shirts. I wrote a post on him earlier. I never thought of it from the shirt sale/raising funds angle. That's good thinking although I'm not surprised it was you who raised that angle. £40m worth of shirts though? Hopefully close enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted May 31, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted May 31, 2018 If we have learned one thing over this last few sorry years, from now on forever more, we should never pay any new signing the kind of wages that no one else will ever consider paying them if it doesn't work out for them here. When you can't even unload somebody on a free something has gone badly badly wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
