Some might like mobile strikers.
Goal scorers that stand in between the sticks, I don't think necessarily at this club have always just worked.
I think this club has always had strikers who can play in pairs.
It's always the strikers who contribute off the ball.
I'll make a point about Van Nistelrooy.
I've spoken to you about this.
We won less championships with Ruud Van Nistelrooy at centre-forward than when we brought Louis Sahar back.
We brought Louis Sahar in to replace Louis Van... Oh, Sir Alex Ferguson did.
Brought Louis Sahar in to partner Wayne Rooney.
All of a sudden, the team became electric again.
It counterattacked him.
He was nowhere near as good a finisher as Ruud.
He was nowhere near as good a striker as Ruud.
But the team became better.
And that's my point.
I don't... Oli wants a striker in that... I think he wants a mobile striker.
When Jurgen Klopp came to Liverpool, he didn't even give Ben Teke a chance.
He just chucked him out of the club because he didn't suit his style of play.
Ole's done the same with Lukaku, and Lukaku's a far better player than Ben Teke.
So my point is, Ole's not just going to go and sign a striker just because he scores goals.
