I think that only includes people who wear Nike boots...

[Harv]

those stats are bollocks.

There is no way on earth you can run faster with the ball than without, which is what it says Torres can (Owen too)

where is Ronaldo also...he is the fastest by a long shot.

Aaron Lennon is also missing, he would easily be one of the quickest in the league.

Kenwyn Jones, Adebayor, Afonso Alves are quicker? bull****. The stats are taken during games, when and why would Torres sprint full whack?

Anyway he's the fastest when sprinting with the ball.

Yup. Anyhow, more importantly he's the fastest "with the ball" out of all the Nike wearing footballers.

[DannyMan2006]

Actually, doesn't Owen wear Umbro? And he's in there.

they dont have Ronaldo's stats on there.

He would be the fastest

OK people before you get angry these stats are done by Opta and used by Nike on their website. They measure the speed of players over each game week. They simply measure who was the quickest getting to the ball and who was the quickest with the ball at their feet during each gameweek. The leaderboard changes every week. Last week Ronaldo was number 1, Torres was number 3. They have not actually gathered these players and measured their speeds in a lab experiment. Hence the reason why their are non-nike wearing players in the list.

Walcott is fcuking lightning!

[Matt]

Didnt think Bentley was that quick.

[zimbo]

Walcott is fcuking lightning!

Is it right he'll be out for a couple of weeks with a singed knob?

[tepid water]

But he's THE fastest player with the ball at his feet

Stop being logical, please. It's far more entertaining reading explanations whereby Torres and Owen run faster when they have to keep a ball under control, Bentley is quicker than he is, etc.
