That's just a fallacy goalkeepers were every bit as good maybe better because most teams had a good man between the posts 

There was an Everton player scored 60 goals in a league season back in the day, Dixie Dean.

 

I'd say football is more demanding and physically more difficult these days tbh.

End the reign of quantity.

 

Time for quality.

If Igamane could look up, find a teammate more often and cut out some of the dribbling, he'd be a better central forward (actually playing him there might help cut out the necessity for the hopes above).

I'd actually be okay with us going into next season with CD, HA and one other striker, preferably someone quick. CD isn't perfect, and he absolutely does my nut in at times, but I'd keep him.

[Fa1833 451]

He also terrorized both Man Utd's defence and Athletics getting a few goals so that's also a factor to consider when we are playing in European games, I’d keep him for at least a few more seasons and see who we bring in who could work alongside him, Dannilo on the other hand I would Mag to Grid ( get rid) 110%.

Dessers would be good to keep as a second striker, but his value now is at its maximum and financially we may be better selling.

[Rousseau 11,899]

He's a pure goalscorer. His all-round game is very limited. 

 

That's not necessarily a bad thing - I think the negatives are emphasised when the rest of the team don't chip in with goals. 

 

I wouldn't be opposed to keeping him around, but, for me, every player is up for sale. 

[compo 8,020]

If a club makes a right good offer then sell him same goes for the rest of our players if silly money is offered grab it there's a player I think from Bournemouth haven't heard of him Madrid are supposed to be ready to pay 50 million

Thinking back to serial missers like Maxie Murray and McCoist you always felt it was ok because they would get the next one. I don’t have that confidence with CD. His stats suggest I should have. It’s a perception thing.

And goalies were pretty poor in those days don't forget. Also they could just barge them into the net.

‘Keepers like Ritchie, Cruickshank, Niven (at Partick) McCloy (at Motherwell) Sorenson (at Morton) ?
 

OK, Niven was at the end of his career and Ritchie was nearing it and McCloy and Sorenson were at the beginning of theirs and the all the rest were average. Barging was nearing the end of its career too. Tommy White at the Hearts was the last of the bargers and he didn’t get away with it often.

 

McBride was a Negri style finisher with added endurance. A real injury curtailed his career.
