Forlan is more of a forward than an out-and-out striker imo. He runs up and down the field all night, working hard to set-up moves and take away the defenders, while Ruud/Ole would be on hand to finish off all the hard work. In the games I have seen him play for us, he seems to drift toward the touchline, and to good effect. He could even help Giggsy more – Forlan could come inside leaving room for Giggs to operate. I would be happy to see the Ruud/Ole partnership continue for a while. Forlan is only 22 and coming to a completely different country/culture must be hard for someone so young. What he needs now is patience from the fans and time to prove himself; soon he will bag one and go on a run.
