Yes, we do. The manager (perhaps EVERY manager) wants players like himself, like he was as a player. And added to that, players who address whatever shortcomings he himself had as a player.

I do recall my dad telling me that George was very good in the air.
Alan Smith...... what a fine centre forward

They say our purported new superstar centre forward cannot head the ball. I hope we'll find that he can and that he's just never been asked

Got Havertz and Gabi for that. Other than set pieces we don't really cross the ball in the air.Originally posted by redgunamo View PostYeah, or Busquets.
