I'm showing the boss what I can do. I was bought as a striker and I always believe I am a striker.

Theo Walcott

I think Rory MacDonald is a great striker, I think Jorge Masvidal is an excellent striker.

Stephen Thompson

I am a striker, and people expect strikers to score goals. But I don't see myself as a striker.

Dimitar Berbatov

I used to play as a striker in Holland. I grew up as a striker. That's the position I want to play.

Ryan Babel

In this system, I've always played in the position behind the striker. I also don't enjoy being classed as a striker - I don't see myself as one.

Thomas Muller

OK - we like to say how a striker creates space and influences matches in other ways, but let's not pretend: at the end of the season, the best striker everyone talks about is the top scorer.

Alvaro Morata

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

Style-wise, dos Santos is going to be an excellent fight for me - striker against striker. With my experience, I should have the upper hand.

Alistair Overeem

Niang is very good in front of the goal, and he's also a quick learner. He is a versatile striker who can play both as a centre forward and as a second striker.

Massimiliano Allegri

I like to play as a striker or secondary striker.

Bojan Krkic

You need two or three players who can do that - play behind the striker, on the right wing, the left wing... striker, maybe. If we have those, it's good for the team.

Roberto Mancini

I have always said that a striker scores a goal but not every goal is scored by a striker. A goalkeeper can make a mistake which is a goal, but every goal still goes past him and you have to accept that.

Simon Mignolet

I know I have missed some chances, but that's part of being a striker, and I know it's part of being a striker that when you don't score, people talk about it.

Vincent Janssen

You have got to be one step ahead, as a striker, to create that space you need. Apart from the ball, when you're a striker, it is space that's your best friend. You need space.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

My second year in Rome was very good. Back then, a striker was a striker. Strikers scored goals; they didn't defend. Today this is normal, but it wasn't at that time. If you wanted to play my style of football you couldn't have old players or famous players who were unwilling to do the job both ways: attacking and also defending.
