Alfie was superb at leading the line though, until he decided he couldn't be fucked any more. There's no reason we can't unearth a morelos type player, I mean our scouting network and team management were a bit of a shambles back then. See, here's the issue. Your correct, Alfredo wasn't a great finisher, but for a season and a half, he was unplayable (at all levels). But he was supplemented, goals wise by Tav, Kent, Aribo, DeFoe, Roofe and Arfiled to a lesser extent. His detractors (there were plenty), claimed we needed a 20+ goal striker. Hey, presto, we got one. Now, 20+ goals as season isn't good enough, we want a striker like Alfredo. At this stage in our "recovery" we can't afford an Alfredo + goals, those players cost untold millions. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil's advocaat 1,974 Posted Sunday at 19:41 Share Posted Sunday at 19:41 I think we're saying the same thing. For me, I'd far rather have a 15 a season striker that has the ability to lead a line, pull a defence out of position, bully a defender, than a 20 a season guy that just scores 20 a season. You need that guy to make space for the rest of your team to weigh in with goals. And it's you're, not your. 😎 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at Hateley and McCoist, Boyd and Miller........ 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That year we had Velicka and he played 8 games, he scored 4 crucial goals. We wouldn’t have won the league without him. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil's advocaat 1,974 Posted Sunday at 19:55 Share Posted Sunday at 19:55 Indeed, I'd agree with both of you, I'm just saying what I like in a striker. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 15,576 Posted Sunday at 20:16 Share Posted Sunday at 20:16 Don't think poachers are worthwhile in modern football. A forward has to do a lot more. Just scoring goals isn't enough. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CammyF 9,734 Posted Sunday at 20:23 Share Posted Sunday at 20:23 So we'll win the league and trophies by not scoring goals. Can't wait to see that happening. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil's advocaat 1,974 Posted Sunday at 21:14 Share Posted Sunday at 21:14 Cammy, If you think he's the man, then great, I'm happy for you, genuinely, it's nice to have an idol. But he's not for me, I couldn't give a feck about his numbers, or how great a guy he is. I think we can, and should, do better. Is that wrong?. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 15,576 Posted Sunday at 21:32 Share Posted Sunday at 21:32 Rumour that we're in for Lazio's Mussolini (and yes, he's Benito's grandson). Really want this one to happen. 😀 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
