Warnock and Strikers

[StraightOuttaCanton]

In my head I’d thought that Warnock had signed a glut of strikers when he was at Sheffield United... so did a bit of research to jog my memory. There were probably more but this list had some pretty good players in it (at least at some stage in their careers)

What happened Neil? Why can’t you pick a few for us?

Colin Kazim-Richards
Hulse
Dyer
Horsfield
Akinbiyi
Webber
Shipperly
Littlejohn

Mooney
Tommy Johnston
Windass
Kelly
Furlong
Ward

David Johnson - Loan
Bent

Is it just me or was there literally 100's of good strikers around back in the older days 90's/2000's
Where have all the strikers disappeared?

Teams always played with 2 strikers, but rarely do anymore, so thats why there was probably more back in the day.

I also think everyone looks back with rose tinted glasses, not just football but music, your youth.etc and think everything else was better in the olden days.

That's probably the list of targets that Warnock has given Ken Choo and Mehmet Dalman.

They are now wingers or nos 10's.

I do think there a less strikers of note .

Also I think defences and keepers have made life a whole
lot harder tactically for strikers to progress in the modern game .
