It was stated here, yes.

 

Haven't read this thread over the last week but I think the consensus is that he's more of a withdrawn striker, and he likes to drop deep. He's very different to Isak so we need to find a different way to play to his strengths. It feels like we are still playing as if we have Isak as our spearhead. 

 

Plus you have to factor in losing our full backs which has affected supply lines, and PL defences are usually harder to pentrate than most international teams.

I don’t think he plays like an Eddie Howe 9 needs too. 
 

We are a direct team that enjoy playing in transition. In all Eddie Howe teams he’s shad a striker looking to get in behind a fair amount. 
 

IMO as he is. He’s a supporting striker in an Eddie Howe team.  He has to try and make runs in behind and make sure he’s in the 6 yard box for headers regularly to be a Howe striker.  These are things Kane does despite similar limitations and often playing deep.  
 

 

In a more patient team he’s fine as he is.

I want the return to the Howe 4-2-3-1. Would that mean Woltemade is Josh King as a support striker. Wissa is Wilson? 
 

No idea if those two actually played together like that. Seems like forever ago. But I’m sure he used to play with more of a 10/attacking mid/supporting striker.

The sample size is Wilson (already here), Wood (a desperation signing) and Isak mind.

He was a big fan of 4-4-1-1 at Bournemouth.

Wilson previously at Bournemouth too.

 

Wood was always a capable to very good PL striker, but he was a bad profile fit.

 

And even Wood attempts to run in behind too. 

 

Signed Solanke too but that didn't work out initially.

 

Not a big sample size still aye. It's the directness and transition more than the track record for me. Gyokeres would look good for us, we would hit him early and he would be there for early crosses and 1-2 shot finishes. In 433 Howe has never asked for a lot of link-up for his strikers. He wants them to stretch play and get us up the pitch.

Before the summer got messy we were rumoured to hold an interest in Cuhna, then targeted Pedro. To me this indicates that we may have been after a different profile of forward for the run off the shoulder type to play alongside. Could be horses for courses or Howe may be looking at a change in system.

I thought it was a move to playing 2 upfront or like a 1-1.  
 

Neither Cunha or Pedro are proper 9s imo.

He really only moved to a 4-3-3 at Newcastle.

 

Had typically mostly played with two strikers, one of whom dropped deeper.

 

I think he wants the option to play that way a lot more than he has done, which was mostly down to both Wilson and Isak being crocks.
