Future Strikers

[blueparrot]

Havertz is the man - play him in a forward position and we will get plenty of goals.

Completely agree and would be my choice. Don’t see a lot of overseas players though and don’t know who’s out there with a similar profile and level if for whatever reason we couldn’t get Havertz.

I mean what strikers in the world have the touch and dribbling of an elite midfielder or winger? It's pretty much only Lewandowski, Aguero, Jesus, Ilicic and maybe Werner. That's 5 names. Do you see how rare it is? That's why it makes much more sense to compare a striker to other strikers when it comes to technical abilties. For a striker, Isak has elite technical traits.

That's utter garbage. The fact you miss Messi, Ronaldo, Suarez, Greizmann, Martinez, Firminho, Mane and Salah all off the list says it all and that's just off the top of my head. Before you say oh but Mane and Salah aren't strikers, we both know they have played through the middle for Liverpool and could very easily play as a striker for any team in the world.

Doku has the touch, dribbling and pace of a winger, reminds me of a young Micheal Owen, far far better than Werner was at that age, would be good for a back up left winger/third choice striker that we are going to need

Messi is a winger/centerforward, Ronaldo could maybe be considered a striker nowadays but he's originally a winger, Suarez is washed up and his dribbling + technique has decreased a lot, Griezmann is a not a striker he's a center forward, Martinez does not have the dribbling or ball control of a elite winger or midfielder, Firmino is a center forward not a striker, Mane is an inside winger and Salah is a inside forward neither are strikers

Congratulations you got 0 out of 8 guesses right and have shown all the fotball positional understanding of a toddler. Want to try again? ;)

I'll let people laugh at how ridiculous that post is, I need say nothing more.

Definitely more likely that people laugh at how stubborn you are while possessing 0 football knowledge outside of city. You write like someone who has never kicked a ball

Haven't watched him play but I've heard he's a top prospect

What’s a striker ? If it isn’t a centre forward or a winger I’m stumped.

The name centre forward is a bit of a giveaway isn't it, someone who plays as a forward in the centre. If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's probably a fucking duck (although Eddy's tattoo or whatever he's called would probably try to call it a swimming chicken).

And yet how many of them are realistic targets for us this summer? Martinez at a very low chance perhaps. Messi too if he makes that clear signal to City but still 99.9% not happening. Obviously neither is Lewa, Werner like he mentioned, but in terms of the conversation they were having, your point is a bit moot.

I was going to be nice to you and assume you are either not English, or a young child who likes FIFA, but that last sentence was so rude and arrogant that I'm gonna have to show you why you are wrong.

In English, a centre-forward is usually used to define a striker. A striker who plays centrally (the clue is in the name). Wingers are often also called strikers (especially inside forwards), but generally people are more likely to use the term Forward as an umbrella term for strikers and wingers and striker is usually reserved to mean the EXACT SAME THING as centre forward.

I know that in FIFA, a centre-forward is equivalent to a "second-striker", "trequartista" or "false 9". However a centre forward in real life is the name for a traditional striker, a number 9. Just because something is in a video game, doesn't make it real.

Also it's spelt CENTRE not CENTER, and FOOTBALL not FOTBALL.

If you are going to be an arrogant prick, make sure you are right.

Striker is the main goal outlet, a number 9 like Haaland, Lewandowski, Aguero etc. Center forward has more of a supportive role rather than scoring as many goals as possible, think Firmino, Griezmann etc. Wingers plays on the wings like the name implies, Mahrez, Mané, Sterling etc etc

Hope it's clearer

This is flat out wrong and clearly just based on FIFA.

Maybe you're the one who plays too much FIFA. Centre forward is a role in football and different from a striker. Do your research before coming with accusations

No it isn’t a centre forward is the attack spearhead, Lewandowski, Haaland, Aguero are centre forwards. Striker is just another name for a centre forward, though it can encompass less traditional centre forwards.

That's what I would say too. Don't think I've ever used the word striker.

All very interesting. Whats the right name for one of those players that scores every time they get a touch in or around the six yard box? We need one of those.
