Gabby, Walcott, Lennon 3 very quick players and all english. No england manage thought lets put them up front and let them run rings around defenders

There's a reason they're not picked, and that's because past their speed they're all quite limited players, comparatively.

Cristina is faster than Wallcot, but Agbonlahor is God Of Speed. Obertan is very pacy. Belive or not, Rooney is very fast too :) Oh, Armand Traore ?

Cristiano Ronaldo? Pretty sure Walcott is quicker than him...

Agbonlahor is very, very quick as is Walcott, I'd say they run at a similar speed. David Odonkor, Jonathon Pitroipa and Edgar Alvarez are also speed demons.

That's harsh. I said comparatively as I meant compared to other forwards we have at our disposal like Rooney and Carroll, good all-rounders. Agbonlahor's strong and has decent crossing ability, Lennon is a talented dribbler and Walcott can finish well.
 
Shame their young enough to develop. Could play as the 3 att mids in 4-2-3-1
 
sorry to go off topic but i seen this on you tube, some of you have probably seen it but it made me laugh

holy shites, SOL campbell. i bet thats when he was in arsenal long ago.

Any thing with ashavin he is fast too. try to find more results, like for bale and lennon
 
Don't forget Walcott is quite small so that is probably why Agbonlahor doesnt look as fast. plus the fact that Walcotts legs are smaller means that Agbonlahors body has the higher speed potential.

Whether or not Agbonlahor is indeed faster though, I don't think will ever be definitively prooved
 
Re Agbonlahor - he came to Sheff Wed when he was young - He was VERY fast then (but couldnt really do much else).

He's much bigger than he was, guess he sacrificed a bit of his pace to be a more effective player.

Football ain't athletics. To run rings around the opposition you need skill!! Haven't seen Xavi or the likes topping speed charts...
 
Apparently hernandez is the quickest over a short distance, i have read a few articles that he was the fastest at the world cup by quite a distance
