    Go on then.

    When Maradonna was the best player on the planet, was he a stone overweight?

    1. I can't believe you're comparing Maradona to Elliot Lee.

    2. The fitness of footballers and sports science is far far far more advanced to what it was in the 70s, 80s and 90s.

    3. I never saw Maradona play live.

    4. Elliot Lee is clearly overweight so I'm not sure what point you're trying to make? I could keep referring to Dale Jennings in the same way you keep bizarrely referring to Maradona only my example would make much more sense.

    Try this then;

    1 They seem to be physically similarly built.
    2. So what?
    3. So what?
    4. Lee has not been on the pitch long enough to be puffing and panting such that you can say he needs to lose weight

    Try providing evidence that he is now a stone heavier now than when we acquired him.

    And then I'll give in.

    PH would never have bought a Dale fatty Shirley?

    It's nothing to do with proving he's a stone heavier than when we bought him.

    He's just blatantly over weight.

    The fact that you think point number 2 means nothing shows you don't have much idea about a footballers body composition.

    Point no. 2 is just a statement of the obvious.

    What you seem to fail to understand is that footballers come in all shapes and sizes.

    And having a certain skeletal frame upon which to hang your talents does not come in a one-size-fits-all.

    So with regard to one particular player, his arrival statistics compared to his present statistics is the determinant of his acceptable level of weight and possibly his fitness, as far as BFC are concerned.

    It's likely I understand it a lot better than you do.

    John Robertson (Nottingham Forest) 'looked' 2 stones overweight and was also the most effective winger in England by a country mile for at least 5 years.

    You could get away with it in the 80s.

    I know I shouldn't.

    But enlighten me.

    You are a nutritionist?

    Lee doesn't seem overweight to me at all.A certain Ronnie Glavin had similar build to Lee and he had a fantastic muscular body.
