Top 10 City strikers of the past decade?

[wemissmoxey]

He says 'STRIKERS'. By definition these are the players who play up front and score lots of goals. They are not target men, a la Flackie, or just plain old forwards, a la Bash. Strikers are in the side to score goals. That is their primary objective. Under that definative we've had three play for us in the period defined and one of them wasn't ours. Devine, Roberts and Alexander (loanee from West Ham United).

Christian Roberts was not an out and out striker, he was not really a goalscorer, his main attributes were his pace and dribbling ability, he had a decent long distance crack on him as well.

No Ian, that is your definition of a striker. Feel free to make me look stupid by providing some genuine evidence proving my theory incorrect.

Fret not folks, I'll not hold my breath...

Hence why I said I was never totally convinced by him.

Well, no, that is a definition of a good or great striker.

Someone who plays up front and sticks every effort in row Z is still a 'striker', albeit not a very good one.

Ah yes, that out and out striker Christian Roberts who scored 7 one year and 11 the next.

Stanno, Mackie, Logan et al have managed this magnificent feat too.....

Gary Alexander has gone onto do very well at Millwall , he would walk into Citys side and has over 100 league goals

But he's only scored 20+ goals once in a season so can't be any good.
