Di Canio said: Quote If you have bad things, you put poison in your body. One player has lost four and a half kilos. Any idea who this was? Sorry if it's been discussed elsewhere.

So the only time the team are allowed to laugh is when they're naked. I'd imagine thats a little uncomfortable.. Also, At a guess I'd say it was Ferry who has lost that weight..

Title: Re: Four and a half kilos Post by: iffy on Sunday, August 7, 2011, 00:56:30 I think it's Jonathan Smith
Town have him at 64kg http://www.swindontownfc.co.uk/page/ProfilesDetail/0,,10341~40818,00.html Soccerbase have him at 71kg http://www.soccerbase.com/players/player.sd?player_id=41828 That is some very sad research on my part.

We also have him three inches shorter, which is a mighty impressive diet. Title: Re: Four and a half kilos Post by: Arriba on Sunday, August 7, 2011, 11:32:28 although i like the way Di Canio has got the side fitter and increased training etc,not ever giving them a day off seems a bit ott. I'm sure the lads will soon get pissed of with it if it continues. What started as a positive could soon become a negative

I'm sure the lads will soon get pissed of with it if it continues. What started as a positive could soon become a negative It's their job and they're paid to do it. I don't see how a footballer can complain about his workload in comparison with 99% of the general population.Title: Re: Four and a half kilos Post by: DiV on Sunday, August 7, 2011, 13:07:46 although i like the way Di Canio has got the side fitter and increased training etc,not ever giving them a day off seems a bit ott.

It should have always been like this. Title: Re: Four and a half kilos Post by: ronnie21 on Sunday, August 7, 2011, 13:11:56 Thought Timlin looked quite trim as well yesterday. Thought he had a good game without setting the world alight!
Title: Re: Four and a half kilos Post by: Arriba on Sunday, August 7, 2011, 13:23:58 I'm not saying he is getting it wrong or anything like that, but too much of it could turn into a negative. A happy team will always play better than an unhappy one. Having players in every day will eventually lead to a bit of discontent after a while like it would to anyone else in any job. Everyone likes time off work,footballers are no different.
I'm sure he will allow them rest when he thinks the time is right. Title: Re: Four and a half kilos Post by: Spencer_White on Sunday, August 7, 2011, 13:47:52 Theres a balance, but of all professional athletes, I would say footballers are the best paid but the least commited in terms of their diet.

I'm all for the Lou Macari-esque approach. |
