Watched him quite a few times for Sampdoria and he is quite effective. Good player, but im not sure he is what we are looking for.
 

How on Earth is false nine - a well coined footballing term - a kopite phrase you walking void.

Aldridge can't hold a conversation about forwards without useing the phrase does my head in ( and yes I have had plenty of conversions with him ) .. As for walking void wtf is one of them
 

Aha erm like a striker but stands off the centre halves and comes short for it more to link play. Think Barkley but would be the "focal" point.

A.K.A. a complete un-Koeman like position.

So what's the difference between a so-called false 9 and a number 10?

I think a false 9 would be like Messi under Guardiola at the start or Totti under Spalletti. They are nominally the furthest forward attacker but drop deep leaving space that the support in attack can use. Works best with players that can then link the play and find their team mates in that space.

A traditional number 10 would be nomally the furthest up midfielder who would have the forward(s) in front of them.
Somebody else might explain more. Im too lazy
 

Who is the better player, and which will fit our team and playing style? This guy, or Lucas, the Deportivo striker?
