I like to play as a striker or secondary striker.
When you're playing at school or with friends, you always want to be a forward and score goals.
Who do I think was the greatest? This might shock you: Elgin Baylor. He did so many great things. Nobody could guard him, playing in the forward spot. I'd love to see some of today's greats playing against Elgin. They couldn't guard him. Nobody could.
The most important thing for a forward is speed of thought. Top players read the game.
Robert Lewandowski is a player who plays in front of the opposing goal, especially with his back to the opponent. He is always attacked, and this is one of the big strength of a striker who plays in this position.
When you're a striker, you want to play all the games, and most chances come at the end because defenders are tired.
Wazza, when he plays behind the striker, he is very dangerous because he has more touches of the ball, and Wazza can create the goal as well and can score.
My perfect formation would be 4-3-3 with one holding and then the two going forward. I would be one of the ones going forward.
I am a striker, a goalscorer. That is my art.
I started my career as a No 9. I know how to play as a No 9.
I don't really mind where I play - left, right, up front on my own, or with another striker. I'm just versatile like that, and I don't mind playing anywhere in attack.
Before I signed for Liverpool, I was playing for Newcastle as a No. 10 - basically, I was always attacking. I didn't have to do much defensive work; I didn't play as the No. 6 or the No. 8.
Regarding my position, I feel really comfortable in any position up front.
I'll play anywhere for Arsenal, but hopefully, given my chance up front, I can do something, because I've always been more of a striker than a winger, and I think I could show a bit more up front.
Maradona and Messi played in different times and in different positions. Messi is much more a striker, Diego was all over the entire pitch. They are two extraordinary players.
When he's on fire, he is impossible to stop. He dribbles like a winger, but is still able to score 20 goals a year in the Premiership. (on Thierry Henry)
I feel like I am definitely an attacking player. I don't really know where specifically that is, whether it's centrally or out wide. I do feel like I just naturally have a mindset to go to goal or create goals or things like that.
People can say I've not scored enough goals, but you see the best strikers on the wing in a four-man midfield and see if they score goals. Nobody can really criticise my finishing because they don't really see me playing in a forward position too often.
The problem with Chelsea is I lack a striker. I have Samuel Eto'o but he is 32 years old - maybe 35, who knows?
In attack, I can play in every position.
He's not just the best centre-forward in the British Isles, but the only one. (about Ian St John)
It's an honour for me to be one of PSG's forwards.
I think there was a time where the target man went out of fashion and it was all about the small and quick striker.
Muller is part No. 7 and part No. 9, a second striker. But in Ancelotti's system, there is no room for that type of player.
Of course I am happy to play in any of the attacking roles, but for me, where I can score the most goals is down the middle.
