that's a rubbish statement

it is a team game and target men are generally better than small strikers at setting up goals for other people. They can also hold up balls out of defence to allow a team time to get out (I suspect part of our defensive problems recently stem from the lack of a good target man). I still think the idea of playing a 4-3-3 (as we have tended to do to accommodate Hucks) without a decent target man in the middle of it is bl**dy stupid (and doomed)
