i have been watching the players that have signed up to these super fast Nike boots and i have even taken to watching players in boots that are not Black.
It doesnt leave that many players really
i have watched players in different clubs via the TV
what stood out for me at Charlton on saturday was the amount of p**s poor first touches there were.
I personally got highly frustrated with the lack of quality on display and i have a theory it is these bloody new boots.
They are like wearing patent shoes
I for one could noyt believe that Scott Sinclair came so highly rated he looked like he had never had to control a ball that was not inch perfect.
JT has these stoopid boots and has lost that first touch that takes him away from players at an instant.
I dont think Ronaldo has scored any where near as prolifically since getting these boots in January.
Lennon has not looked the same player
Walcott is the exception scoring 2 premier league goals in these boots and they are the only league goals he has scored.
On saturday watch how many players wearing these new Nike boots actualy have a first touch or score a goal
I feel that as a club we need to bring back the addidas black boot from the 90's which was heavy enough to protect and light enough for Owen to be electrically quick and the 1st touch of those players was good enough.
ban the gold boot

If you're going to make yourself stand out from the crowd, then you've got to be sure that you're better than the crowd.
If i was a manager, i would insist on black boots only. Some of the berks in my sunday side who wear white boots are useless.
I thought you were a Manager ?
Your motivation techniques for your players are worse than Pardews :-)
that allegedly are the fastest boots out there.
The other coloured boots just make players look stupid but these things are ridiculously shiney and ridiculously light and they can not give purchase to the ball as well as a normal football boot
I bet if Reid wore them they wouldn't be that fast!!
Redarmy_Se7 is one of the main culprits :-)

What helps Ronaldo and Henry sprint faster, further and more frequently then any other players in the game? Designed for explosive accelerations that leave defenders guled to the spot. Our lightest and fastest boot ever. A perfect fit for players who rely on speed and finesse to punish the oppostion.
Comfort Upper: - The MVIII upper is made from a new revolutionary Teijin synthetic. This allows the upper to truly conform, adjust and then retain the optimum foot shape for the wearer. This ‘Comfort Intelligence’ gives the boot the perfect ‘second skin’ fit every player is seeking.
Comfort Heel: - The MVIII also benefits from an exposed ‘Heel Cup’ which is designed to perfectly cradle the heel and give maximum comfort to players at the highest performance levels.
Rear Stabilizer: - The MVIII also has a lightweight Carbon heel wrap which perfectly distributes impact during heel strike for maximum protection and balance.
Speed Last: - The MVIII is faster and more flexible than all previous Nike Vapor Mercurial models. This is achieved with the construction of the new ‘Speed Last’ which perfectly contours the anatomic curves of the foot for sublime comfort and maximum speed advantage.
Speed Acceleration: - The MVIII comes in a choice of two separate soleplates. The Firm Ground model features direct inject studs for perfect multi-directional traction. The Soft Ground MVIII benefits from the use of the traditional round screw-in stud for instant grip and acceleration on soft natural surfaces.
Bring Back Black Boots
Don't you mean 2 inch plank?
LOL Smudge.
As for boots making you faster utter drivel. Another unfounded claim following on from the Fad of Adidas ten years ago claiming their boots would make you into some sort of free kick expert with the predator boot. What makes Henry faster than most people is well he's faster than most people end of story f**k all to do with footware.
Every real footballer knows that the Black Adidas Copa Mondials are the best boot on the market & only £50 a pair.
They were so heavy and crap. They didnt make me hop around either which was pretty disappointing.
Got a pair of puma kings after that and stuck with adidas ever since.
Believe it or not Westside the First boots ever to use Kangaroo hide were made by ...wait for it... Joma. I used to have a pair ever so comfy but that's about it.
No doubt, this guy takes his boots seriously! But that last line speaks to exactly what you're saying nla.
Thankfully they were both loanees so technically not our players!!!
I hate coloured boots, I own a pair of silver ones becuase there was bugger all else in the shop that I could get my feet into.
When I saw a player with a pair of predators or non black boots I would straight away make them a target for one of my more meatier challenges.
Fergie has Banned all boots with blades upto the under 18 team he wanted to ban it out right through the whole club but was not allowed due to corperate intivention and increasing player power that was brought to the fore front by David beckham and the Addidas Predator Blade boots.
The blades were banned due to increased injury of younger players on ligaments in knees and ankles and some horific cut injuries recieved by players when the blade has cut the skin during a tackle.
Our own team Charlton also has the same policy on blades so Johnny H told me on the stadium tour .
Now Henners as fan director leaving soon wouldnt it be good if your last input was to rid all of us the paying public of the worst trait in football since Scotty Parker held us to ransom.
Put forward the notion that it has been brought to the attention of the fans " the real football gurus" as Pards has lost it apparently so his opinion no longer counts, That Orange Nike football boots are crap and do not allow any control any degree of improvement to technique and make the players wearing them look exceptionally STUPID.
from all of us
I'm puzzled as to what I can actually say to be truthful mate!!
Apparently I can't call one of my subbies 'Paddy' anymore as he is Irish and it may upset someone listening to me!
His name is Pat for crying out loud. And why are people listening eh? Eavesdroppers never hear owt good about themselves I was once told.
puma king all day long for me
ginger is like the worst colour!
This comment had slipped by me until now, I'd like to assure my manager that my new boots shall most definately be old style Puma Kings or Adidas Copa Mundials!
