Yes, because you can only be booked for tackles, right? The point made was that Lineker was hardly a physical striker, meaning he'd rarely tackle hence minimal chance of being booked. Something in the back of my mind "remembered" claims he'd been booked in a friendly, hence mentioned it to see if anyone else remembered it. Shot your comments down in flames? That's a bit of a paranoid thing to write.

If you believe your last statement then clearly you've still no clue as to what Warnock wants from his side. Lineker relied upon being in the box, needed service. He's the absolute opposite of what Warnock looks for in a striker - wants a physical player ideally with pace. No way Lineker would a) be a fit for the way Warnock plays nor b) be effective in the style of play Warnock wants.

So based upon that... yes Madine would be ahead of Lineker. Warnock wants a team; Lineker required a team around him solely focused upon him.

Hilarious.

Hilarious.

Unable to even discuss any of the points. Typical and indeed hilarious.

Lineker is the complete opposite of a Warnock striker. What precisely is so difficult for you to accept that view as having any validity?

You've bogged yourself down in theory - forget about Madine, Lineker was ten times the player any journeyman second and third tier striker is and that, above anything else, should be the criteria for selection. If City, or any other Championship side were lucky enough to have a striker who would turn out to be another Lineker (in the top ten goalscorers at World Cup Final tournaments) on their books, then any manager worth his salt would, surely, make use of him, rather than sacrifice him as he imposed his own style on the team.

Suppose if you swapped Lineker's goals for bookings, then he'd be in our side every week - or at least, the games when he wasn't suspended.
