flobaba this striker you describe is a rare phenomenon. training has changed a lot of positions, including striker. the 9 and 10 positions have largely been decimated. mulit-skill players have come in their place, and power has shifted from these players to 8s and wingers, with your forwards typically hybrid 9/10s who faciliate these players. i wouldn't hold out for players football academies aren't producing in large numbers.

Honestly, this is very upsetting. I'm old enough, as a few others here are - I'm sure, to remember Super Kev breaking through into the first team and having quite an impact towards the end end of the almost Invincible season. It never quite happened for him thereafter because of his great mate Ian Wright Wright Wright, but he still scored one of the biggest goals any Arsenal player has ever scored in the Cup Winners Cup semi thirty years ago.
He seemed a lovely fella and that he has been taken from us at a relatively young age feels like a sick joke.
Ah geez, RIP Super Kev. Ridiculously young, not OK!
Rest in peace. That Cup-Winner's Cup run and win is probably my fondest memory as a young fan. Campbell didn't make the hugest impact on me I'll admit, but that achievement really cemented my loyalty as a teen.
Very sad. You can see Wrighty is cut up trying to go through the motions on ITV today. Way too young.
Incredibly sad news. Way too young. RIP.
Ozil getting ready to come after those who called him weak!
He's an interesting character.
