31,35, 31,31?? I doubt this tbh, I know TM wants exp, but surely he also wants to build a team? Surely need players 3/4 years younger? All good players in their day, but we need to have some longevity in team surely?

Does this not remind anyone of the whole Carl Baker thing? Sheffers has a quality season, contributes directly with 28 goals, and is being released? Maybe he is getting on a bit and maybe he was dreadful for us the 2nd time around but, people were complaining we didn't take Leon Clarke back and...

I think he is only 24? but I might be wrong, so maybe can still use the word "potential"

Ebanks Blake is living off his name has barely played or scored- 2013–2014 Ipswich Town 9 (0) 2015 Preston North End 9 (1) Marley Watkins has played well in Scotland which is a very low class of football. Pope- scored 10 goals last year not really what we need is it? Clarke- Has barely...

Difficulty of subjects all vary don't they? Although a good question indeed. However I would again suggest that work from a young age in some of those subjects is what he will excel in. again drawing on personal experience. A lot of my friends at senior school came from the same primary school...

Fair enough, and I respect your point of view and you perhaps being a teacher have seen things I haven't. But I can personally say that one of my best mates, who was not the most intelligent naturally, although my no stretch stupid, he did nothing but work, school, athletics, revision till...

No I literally say there they contribute. So not its not just practice.

thank you, and I do see that point of view and I have a lot of respect for it. But Imo even in subjects at school, if somebody really wanted it, no matter how hard it was they could become a top student but it may take a lot longer. Maybe I have suggested that practice is all you need but...

No that's not what I am essentially saying. I have said that personality, circumstance and mental strength all contribute, but they aren't what make people great at their sport/profession.

as I said it also depends on circumstance, Milner grew up in a much more stable environment compared to Ozil, and had a different path into football.

Funny how you mention mesut Ozil, as he is actually a player I have studied in depth, look up his history, look at where he was brought up, Gelsenkirchen, as I said it is a matter of circumstance and practice. If You look up his history, literally during all his free time he was practicing/...

james Milner is a quality player however? Maybes he's not the best player in the world because he has been out-worked? Also as I said, circumstance also plays a major part in development.

It's a hugely interesting topic to study in general, i do completely understand his point of view having studied both sides of the argument in depth. But I have as you can see firmly put my weight behind hard work and practice side of the argument.

No I have shown a series of experiments and findings, which yes aren't my own but back up what I say? tbh I'm not a fan of snooker and have never studied the sport or ronnies background so I can't comment? i have said that I am willing to be proven wrong and see another side, but tbh I haven't...

No hundereds and thousands don't go through what I have described, as I said earlier it also relies on circumstance which allows them to get involved. You have literally provided no evidence against it. You are just stating an opinion.

Resorting to sarcastic jibes just makes you look a tit.

there are 3 types of muscle fibre type, and he probably has a combo of fast twitch glycoltic(allow bursts of pace) and slow twitch (endurance). psychomotor abilities I have no idea tbh would have to perform tests on him but it is just things like reaction time, rate control, aim, multi-limb...

It depends on if you agree on whether traits are inherited or learned? Also I'm not denying things like muscle fibre types, personality types and psychomotor abilities like reaction time all help, but they aren't the reason someone becomes world class. And they in actual fact only push one...

When did I say there was no geniuses? I said it takes hard work to become one. just gonna point this out okay... It would be impossible John macenroe just to rely on talent... Why? Because it's impossible to return a tennis serve at 100+ mph without practice. Why? Because a human body cannot...

Yeah that is actually a fair interpretation. Obviously it's different in football now with agents tainting people, and perhaps not always working in the players best interests. But yes certainly some players motivations are different and money can be key, but if so, is the motivation not there...
