Alan Tate has played in goals for us on more than one occasion too, doesnt make him a goalkeeper. Giggs has played up front for Man United, hes no striker.
Michu is a central midfielder my son. Now stop digging.

As for bony... Waste of money from what I've seen. His Europa league goals against inferior opposition are currently masking his lack of premiership goals.

He filled a hole up front after the departure of Graham at the back end of last season. That doesnt make him a striker you pleb

From what I remember, he was playing in front of Graham in the first half of the season as Graham was benched (part of the reason why he looked elsewhere for first team football).
The majority of games I've seen michu play, he's been up front.

Then you must have seen him in the main the back end of last season, simple as that.
Graham played 18 times prior to his departure that season. schechter also got game time inexplicably. He was probably playing up front for a third of a season and a third of a season where he was notably worse as a result.
A third of a season to cover a gap over the course of a 9 year career doesnt make him a striker. Hes a midfielder, which is why we bought Bony.

Roathie claims Bony only started 4 of the 8 league games.
Who was upfront for the other 4? Lee Trundle?

When Bony has not started it has usually been due to coming off an international break when he's been away with Ivory Coast, not because we're selecting Michu up front ahead of him.

Did my own research. 10 league starts so probably only half the games available up to the point he left. So who was up front for most of the season?

Just so i can bookmark.
Are you suggesting it is your opinion that Michu is a striker![]()
Or that he is of sufficient ability that he can play there if really needed? That is what seems to be the current paradox confusing many, to what must be said, an amusing standard
