that we could sign a 'typical' Lambert No9 in the summer. So here are Lambert's striker signings, I've not included loans or players described as a no 10.
Libor Kozak, Villa, 6ft 2in
Nicklas Helenius, Villa, 6ft 3in
Christian Benteke, Villa 6ft 1in
Jordan Bowery, Villa, 6ft 0in
Steve Morison, Nodge, 6ft 1in
James Vaughan, Nodge, 5ft 11in
Aaron Wilbraham, Nodge, 6ft 2in
Simeon Jackson, Nodge, 5ft 10in
I had it in my head that a typical Lambert No 9 was a big, strong forward who could hold the ball up, but looking at this list, maybe there isn't a 'typical' Lambert centre forward? |  |

You've missed Grant Holt out of that list
He's about as Number 9 as you are going to get?
I assume he was there before Lambert could sign him? [Post edited 7 Apr 2019 15:19]

Assume so, I only looked at a list of Lamberts signings. No big fat Holt. | |

All quite physical and mobile forwards that aren’t necessarily pure goalscorers. |  | | |

The only one that was really a success was Benteke, maybe Morison to some degree. With that in mind, no bad thing if we don’t follow suit! |  | | |

Do Simeon Jackson and Bowrey fit that?
Genuine question, I always thought Jackson was quite lightweight. | |

Well there’s four on that list that I wouldn’t touch with a barge pole! |  |

Surprisingly, as he was a good signing, Bryan Gunn signed Holt. |  | | |

We don't need a 30 goal striker, we need the whole side to score, so need a playing no.9. |  | | |

we'd never get him in L1, but I happily see us sign chris martin, strong fcker and could lead a line |  |

For me there's too type of targetmen
You have the big number 9 or you have the pacey striker who runs the channel and stretches team. You launch directly to the number 9, you launch the ball into space with the pacey striker. As a combination, they work well together.
Even the more modern inside wingers and false 9's tend to work in this way in varying ways, whether that's dropping deep and taking the ball to feet or simply moving into a striking position and making a nuisance of themselves
It's best two have all four variants in your line ups for tactical variety | |
