    Whoa, I last checked this thread yesterday, when the page was in the 130s. Silly season has started!

    Btw, the modern day forward =/= a striker. I think striker is an antiquated term now (Alan Shearer) because the modern game (outside of Stoke) isn't played like that anymore and versatility reigns.

    lucas, you are probably very right, it is silly season. its is just a bit of messing...

    gomez, lewandowksi, torres... CARROLL. there's still a few strikers out there. just the same as saying stiking mata or nasri or numerous others up top wouldn't work... however you are correct in that a "new breed" like sturridge, welbeck or rooney, suarez and many others show that versatility you mention.

    or in other words ;) alexi sanchez never led a line in his life so he's not a striker <laugh>

    yeah you are right it is silly season... I blame RHC, if he'd just tell us the name we could endlessly debate that not making up ****e to entertain ourselves here.

    I dont think that is quite spot on but I know what your saying.

    Ba, Torres, Carroll, Adebayor, Defoe, Dzeko, Giroud and Cisse are all proper strikers who lead the lines for their clubs.

    But football is going the direction you described.

    Strikers are becoming more impact subs.

    Torres gets goals from the bench for Spain, Dzeko for City, Hernandez for United.

    I don't phucking well know who it is yet. I doubt it's Sanchez as I know next to nothing about him.

    What number does Sanchez wear btw? <whistle>

    There's no agreed definition of what a striker of forward is, so it's merely a matter of subjective opinion. Suffice it to say, both play up front & seek to score goals <doh>

    in deed the objective of the very game is to score goals......

    I do agree though....















    figuring out what "a striker of forward is" is hard.

















    needless to say i will now play nice for the rest of the day

    To me, those above are what you would call strikers, and the ones highlighted are in the traditional mould. My point was that the modern forward you wouldn't call (at least, I personally, wouldn't call) strikers. Sanchez, Suarez, Ronaldo, Neymar, etc are the type of player that can play in a fluid system across the front line.
