Over the years there have been strikers who in the true sense of the word have not been great footballers but effective at what they do.Pace over 5 yards,the ability to find space and to put the ball in the back of the net whether it be with a knee,backside or hip.

Exactly

It's the one remaining position left on the field where you can get away with not being particularly well rounded as a player. So long as you can get it in the net, you can be a successful striker. You can go missing for 89 minutes, score one goal to make it 1-0, and it's job done

Even in the modern game, where Goalkeepers are better with the ball at their feet than some outfield players, you can still get by as a striker with a comparatively limited skill set to everyone else

No Cruyff turns needed, just get it in the onion bag!
 

still don't think he's very good and shouldn't be in over the other strikers, but was a cracking finish and his attitude is spot on to be fair, he'll still be sold when a decent offer comes in
