Hope that with those requirements, you're not thinking of Andy Carroll ??
I was actually referring to RSC who scored for Malaga!
Is something I think we generally lack though. Mario and Edin look like they could do it but never really manage it. No surprise that Micah has found himself thrown up there at times to give us what we miss. Love the passing game but occasionally something different is required, at least on the bench
Fair enough.
However, with regard to the "something different" aspect, I would just say that Barcelona don't seem to manage too badly without having that particular option in the locker. In view of that, I suppose what I'm saying (or trying to say) is that if the passing game doesn't always work, you work harder to improve the passing game so it does work all the time and, in so doing, you never compromise your footballing principles.
I hated it in the 1971/72 season when we had Wyn Davies :- although we scored a lot of goals and threw away the League when we looked to have it sewn up, we became a far more direct side with him in the team.
It got even worse for me when Niall Quinn came along.
Anyway, that's just my own, biased viewpoint.
