Waghorn does a lot of things better and is more versatile. Not sure Moore would do well for us with our style of play, he ain't getting on the end of low crosses or neat moves that is not his game. Your point about low crosses is an interesting one. With a big central striker, it's all too easy to fall into the trap of targeting all crosses towards him which requires a high degree of accuracy and if the CBs are big lumps, it becomes much simpler to nullify. What we need is a central striker with 3 specific attributes - power, pace and an ability to hold up play. Not sure àny of the names mentioned so far meet those requirements, hopefully Cocu has someone in mind who has yet to be considered by fans and the media.

Your point is a good one - although (I feel) the need of pace is not perhaps (although would be nice) a number one requirement. As I look back at Number 9's we've had with success in the past I'd say John O'hare, Chris Martin, Paul Goddard, Mick Harford. I'm sure there must be others. I agree that just lumping the ball in with little accuracy in the hope that a big Centre Forward will get on the end of it is folly. The low, hard cross with accuracy is probably the most difficult to defend against. And with Byrne on one side & Jozwiak on the other hopefully we have a good duo to carry that out.

Not from what I saw at PSV, needs an all rounder. Good with ball at feet, pace to get about and feed the wide men etc. Technically if we are looking at Zahore he's better than Moore. Moore is a downgrade on Chris Martin in all departments except probably heading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha no I don't think he's slower but I wouldn't call him quick either! He'll do well at Cardiff because he'll get the right service, lots of high balls and corners.

There are Twitter rumours of the 19 year old ex liverpool lad but I cant imagine we have him lined up as our main striker. I'm expecting soon after Ibe is announced a name of our striker target will start to emerge. I'm normally critical of our recruitment, but this year they seem to be operating very shrewdly and as the kids of today say "doing bits". But it all rests on this new striker, we need to find our raziak/Howard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
