There are plenty of them about, we're one of the few supposedly top clubs who haven't figured out having a 25 goal a season man *might possibly* be an advantage if we actually want to win a trophy. SAF believed a world-class CF was an absolute nailed-on must-have in a top side.

It's mad that we have thrown money at virtually every position on the pitch bar CF post-SAF. Our only true CFs have been three old blokes, one on loan and two on a free!

Hardest position in football to play. Most teams have changed tactically to deal with that.
