Grisha, And whoever feels or wants to take some thing from what I am about to say. The eye and ear of the beholder is a powerfully destructive tool which, irrelevant of ability ,can render that same individual in a state of false / blinkered opinion. We all want to be better....regardless of our ability or who we ultimately are. Let's take Grisha, Ricardo, me and postman pat as our examples. Our two first named examples are ,in comparison to myself and our imaginary figure, gods of their chosen fields....not to say that my strength in being a gobby, English ,moronic fool and Pats 'command of red vans ,cats and letter boxes aren't achievements in their own rights. Grisha, I listen to all you say and respect ,without question your reasons for admiration re: Kema. His ability is without doubt ,astounding. However he aint got that thang. There is a lot in technique... I accept that, but style ,groove, feel ,mojo, sparkle, ****, grunt ,attitude, contagiousness, touch, feel are what most of us aspire to 'have'....not just a technical ability which forgets emotion. Now you,Ricardo and a few others on this forum have bucket loads of these attributes plus other qualities I probably couldn't even spell. Kema, has probably got some of this stuff going on ,but not from what I've seen in the posts so far and you know what...I haven't been made to want to check him out else where. You ,Ricardo, Bursche and John Walsh and others from this forum I have. Now my opinion isn't exclusive i know that ,but to me, its part of my life and matters. You guys as mentioned along with a few other 'named' players , are the dogs ****,awesome fantastic ,just there. You've got your heroes, you've got bits or a touch that you want to achieve as players but, to so many on here you guys have that thing going on . You've worked at it , you've earned it , f.u.c.k.I.n. respect to you all ....,and Keema too but ,more so to you guys from where I stand. Yes there is some technically good stuff happening with him but that touch is too mechanical for me. Hope this isn't too insulting to anyone,...it isn't meant to be!! Best pink By the way, Stephen Faulk I've called your number and I think its time you came back and started to re contribute. You are missed. Best pink

Erik, I hope I didn't offend by not including all names,yours included,of guys I really respect as players from the foro...come to it guys I respect period , the list could and would be a long one. I do get the technical ability bit ,but just don't get anything from it in his case...it doesn't fill me with that majic ...I do get the hours of pain,sacrifice and so on but I just don't feel that sparkle...sorry! It really is about that for me....groove,emotion ,texture.....some technique granted, I'd be telling lies if that wasn't in there somewhere. I'm also not looking for a player to be someone else....to have flavours of a mixture of others yes ,but to have a sparkle which appears to be 'them' is what I am after. The uniform can help ...but only if the fit brings out the wearers own shape .....bet you look most excellent in yours!! Very best to you Erik pink
