Yes - Doyle certainly has elements of that role within his game but I was more referring to a "Niall Quinn option" if that makes sense. Someone with height who can be found with a long pass, if we choose to play a more direct style if a game is going against us.

Not advocating a return to a long ball game but an option akin to what Crouch brings to England, possibly from the bench.

Is that the Best/Folan option? The only time it really worked was away to Italy though.

I'd like to see Best get a run against Algeria.
