i dunno tbh. Maybe?
Key part of being a big man is embracing the fact, and not yearning to be a big small man.

so you're saying it's important to "think Big" if you will?

Is Mario Gomez not a big man, cos I'd have him. Oh we've got Andy Carroll apparently, never mind.

Can't someone buy Rob Hulse from QPR? He's big.

I only included players who offer comic value and might actually come to 'your team' if 'your team' is not Madrid or Chelsea - hence no Gómez, no Zlatan. Hoarau I know the least about, and it's possible he might actually be good, but whenever I've seen him his finishing has been awful.

Don't lol at me, I thought Dzeko was going to come good and anyway City wouldn't let him go, hence his not being in this poll.
Looks to me like the only managers who signed a big man for their team (from this list anyway) are Sam Allardyce and 'arry Hedknapp. And that's why they're the only real candidates for the England job.

Shechter of FC Kaiserslautern is breaking new ground as a small big man. Small as in he is only 5'10", but plays as a 'hold the ball up' striker, runs, or more precisely lumbers, the channels. Brings people into play, and generally 'puts a shift in'. At no stage in the 3 games I've seen him play did he ever give me the impression he was going to score however. In fact he never really gave the impression he was going to shoot.
