We are cursed that whenever we buy any world class striker we are destined to only get one full season from them at that level then they get injured.

 

Our Shearer was Blackburn shearer until the 1997 injury. 
 

Owen was that world class player in his first half season before the big injury

 

Isak to be fair also got injured early doors but he wasn’t world class we made him that. Perhaps you could argue we got two seasons from him. 
 

We’ve not really had any other world class strikers but even for very good strikers:

 

Remy, one season on loan

Ba only one full season (he left in Jan)

Rondon, again on loan

Wilson we probably got one top top season out of him given he was always injured 

Carroll 6 months max
Cisse ditto

 

Andy Cole and shin splits in his 2nd full season, was right off the boil.
