I keep wondering the same thing about Emily Heskey, he is big so he can rumble in the box with the best of them. That why I think he does well w/ Owen you get the quick nimble player in Owen and and Big and overpowering Heskey. I think w/ as pyhysical as Seria A can be he would make a good forward if he paired with someone like Sheva. Problem is I don't want Milan to be the one to experiment with him. Think they can talk Perugia into signing him to play alongside Amoruso, w/ a clause that he can't play against Milan, to test it out. How do you think he would do?
Well seamus.......this is interesting. I have one problem wih Heskey tho....he doesn't seem to score right now in England......and well......historically I should say, the overpowering types never really do well in Italy. Look at Carsten Jancker for Udinese right now......I believe he has one tally to his name. England is best suited for this big, bruising types of strikers, where I think Italy requires a bit more skill......but then again, you could make the argument that Pippo isn't as skilled with the ball as many strikers, yet he has over 100 Serie A goals. Its also funny mentioning Pippo and Heskey......many people from the UK despise Pippo and of course label him the "goal-poacher." Well, if thats true, and goal-poaching is an easy art....well....then why hasn't Emile Heskey adopted this tactic to increase his strike rate......thats usually when they concede:
"Ok...maybe Pippo Inzaghi does have some skill."
U damn right he does. Pippo very well appreciated around (& IN!) the Mediterranean!
