Juan Agudelo in "search" of a Club

they have the fat keeper?!

edit: aw jes. jeroen verhoeven. great name and great pudgy physique. among the fattest players i've seen and a testament to the diversity of the beautiful game.

 

He exemplifies "HealthCity Fitness".

 

Near post Tony lives! In the Netherlands!

 

Lots of "skinny" keepers would love to be playing in Utrecht but can't because the "fat" guy is better. As a naturally thick guy myself, I get tired of people being so surprised I play pretty well in any spot besides keeper and have the best motor on my team at 35. Judge the guy on his play, not his god given body shape.

 

add in the mental fortitude to endure opposing fans yelling "pi-zza" every time you touch the ball as well

 

And Verhoeven is 6'5" --guy must weigh like 250 lbs.

Wouldn't mind having that dude on my side in a bar fight.

 

According to his Dutch Wikipedia entry he is 103 kg (227 lbs) and 196 cm (6'5"). For comparison Tom Brady is 6'4" and 225 lbs. I think we can agree Verhoeven is "fudging" his weight...

 

Lol yeah that is exactly my size. I looked like that when I was 265 lbs.

 

That would be closer to my guess on what he weighs. Before I got back into shape about 5 years ago, my body shape looked like that, and I was 215 pounds at the time ........ and I am 5'10". There is no way on earth this guy is only 10 pounds heavier than I was, with an extra 6 inches of height. Simply no way.

 

Always amazes me how big a "small" nfl player is. 6'4'' 225 is large for an average human on the street.

 

Neville Southall, was arguably the best keeper in the world and yet rather rotund. I kind of miss fat footballers: Mickey Quinn, Jan Molby even Matt Le Tissier had some girth and were all wonderful players.

 

the best we have now is charlie adam-- and even he looks like he dropped some weight!

 

How soon some forget:

 

And he was probably still scoring on and off the field.

 

Not sure if you guys are interested in such things, but Agudelo is now eligible to play for FCU. And he will wear #18.

 

No doubt. How can anyone possibly forget this? http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/7374317.stm

 

great news, that went quick

 

I think this thread should now be renamed, "Juan Agudelo: Stoked at Utrecht"

 

+1

 

To be a god damn punching bag!! I am sure that guy can take a hit!

 

Ok--you hit him first. We've all got your back. Promise.

 

Just cause you're big...doesn't mean you can fight! Buuuut....for the most part you can take a hell of a hit!

I rather sucker punch him from behind............. and point at you!

 

Doesn't matter how big they are, they all have knees. Kick them the right way and the fight is over really fast.

 

On the bench today.
