Could Egeli be used as a central striker? 11:09 - Oct 6 with 1140 viewsKeno

certainly looked very good yesterday and made me wonder whether he could be used as a striker?

He might end up there, he played a lot of youth football there. Not sure it's the right role for him right now though.

He has played up front historically I believe and I wonder if that is where we might see him longer term. I remember Thierry Henry started on the wing before being moved up front a little later in his career.

I thought he could be useful in the 10. He seems to have that Chappers-esque eye for a pass, particularly with switching play unexpectedly.

Also, Azon must be pushing Hirst hard for a start now. Thought he did ok at Bristol City in the week and looked a real handful again when he came on yesterday.

Yeah I'd like to see him tried in the 10 position, think he could link up play well. Could then see Szmodics used on the right

Yes, 100%, said the same to my mate at the Pompey game. He looks every bit a #9 to me. Probably not this season with Hirst and Ivan around (injuries permitting) but he does seem to be in the Delap mould to me and has a turn of pace as well.

And Ronaldo of course. If he can make the same development progress. Not asking for much ... ...

Re Thierry Henry, he was always a striker, but Juve chose to play him out of position on the wing preferring Inzaghi at CF, similar to how Barcelona treated Lineker.

I wondered if egeli could end like Kane.

Over the years he's been a scorer but also there's been many occasions where he's pinged balls across the pitch etc too.

Why on earth would we move Walle Egeli to Centre Forward when we already have the perfect fit for the role at the Club?

Kipre has nailed on that shirt for me! ;-)

He certainly wants to come central every time.

But as I said yesterday, I see him more as a 10 longer term.

So did Omari, neither are line hugging wingers really. I am sure he will play in field eventually. I don't think he would fit what is McKenna's interpretation of what a 9 is and does. He is not the battering ram to keep central defenders occupied. I think there is a little of the Bergkamp about him. I like his movement and reading of the game.

Think we have to play him RW due to the lack of other options. Mcateer just isn't good enough at the moment and while we could play like we switched to yesterday (Clarke left, Billy Jean right), I think JP is just too good on the left right now to move him.

I think at the moment we'd use Akpom as 3rd choice CF.

I'm looking forward to following SWE's development though. He looks like hes got the skills. Just needs to work on his decisions of when to shoot (I think every shot he has had had been blocked so far), when to take his man on, when to pass, when to cross etc and he will be a very good player.

Not sure tbh. But I do believe if we achieve Premier League status or maybe even by the January transfer window we need, dependent on our league position another centre forward.
Watching the Norwich match Hirst made many excellent runs and whilst his pass across the area was good he didn't look up to see that nobody was making a run. In his defence they should have been, but maybe a shot would have been a better idea.
Then there was the chance laid on by Szmodics where Hirst seemed to get his feet muddled up.
