I do agree. Except....
Exhibit A - Emily Heskey.
Which hell probably want to aim to be like.
I was a massive fan of his 2 seasons ago...then he got more games, started more...you then see his limitations up front.
On the wing, hes effective and his best games have been on the wing
But as a striker, leading the line, he doesn't have the brain to make runs, find space, hold the ball, or bully defenders from the off. He does show moments from the bench when teams are stretched and tired.
Best thing he can do to see if he is a prem player is go to the championship for a season and see if he can do it there IMO
