A Quote by Mario Kempes

I wasn't skilful at all... but I'm not saying I was that bad either! I used to take my chances. I was more of a midfielder and therefore a weird striker.

Everyone gets in a bad mood at some point - a striker because there is allegedly a new striker on the way, the same for a midfielder.

Gennaro Gattuso

When teams are dropping off, it's difficult, especially as a striker. You always have two centre-halves behind you and maybe a sitting midfielder as well. It's a bit more difficult creating chances.

Harry Kane

All players rolled into one: from defensive midfielder to attacking midfielder to attacker. I want to take the qualities from everyone. I'd like to get to the level where I have everything: Vieira, Deschamps, Zidane, Ronaldinho, Henry, Ronaldo. It wouldn't be bad, that.

Paul Pogba

As a striker you need to take chances.

Kelechi Iheanacho

I was only used to 4-3-3. For me as a left-winger you have also a left midfielder and a left-back behind you. But in a 4-4-2 you are basically also the left midfielder so you have to help more in defence and I wasn't used to that.

Ryan Babel

I'm not a striker, I'm not a goalscorer - I'm a midfielder.

Marouane Fellaini

I'm a mix between a striker and a midfielder.

Thomas Muller

A top striker like Harry Kane turns half chances into full chances by scoring them.

Ivan Toney

I still believe I can be a striker but, if you want to be a striker, you have to think more about yourself and that's why you are a striker.

Ryan Babel

I'm a striker. I feel I can have my greatest impact there because I'm free to roam around the pitch, take players on, have shots and create chances.

Ross Barkley

I play midfielder, playmaker, even second striker: where I am needed and where I can be most useful.

Bruno Fernandes

I can’t think of a striker in the world who has scored so many important goals, never mind a midfielder.

Thierry Henry

I used to think that anyone doing anything weird was weird. I suddenly realized that anyone doing anything weird wasn't weird at all and it was the people saying they were weird that were weird.

Paul McCartney

I would like to see more new productions of new material by new composers/lyricists/book writers. I would like to see people take more chances. I think because everything costs so much they're not taking the chances they used to.
