How they do that doesn't really matter, as long as they can do it and the less weaknesses the better. Unfortunately the tall striker is stereotyped into being able to win everything in the air and be a target man, those are skills in themselves and being tall doesn't make you good at them (see PC)
thats true... agree with you.
but they have a better chance than most - just look at how easy abedayour scored with his head against us - ok so maybe lazy marking but his height made it easy for him and also made it difficult to defend against
another example look at how hard toshak made it for defenders to defend aganst him in the box...
id rather go for hunter for is personal attributes will do him well in any league and the asking price is likely to be less than villa and others, and also being younger will mean he would be fitter and stronger phyically than an aging star who would be more likely to become injury prone - just ask harry kewell
