I'd much prefer a striker who can drive forward at pace towards the opposition box and either get a shot off or slip a pass to someone in a better position.

We need to start moving forward into attacking positions in 2's and 3's, rather than having an isolated player trying to hold the ball up waiting for support to arrive.
We need a striker who can hold the ball up. Even Haaland can hold it up. We aren’t good enough to play without one, and we are in the Championship.

You don’t have to have a target man but we need someone who can hold onto the ball with their back to goal from time to time.
