True poachers (like the might Pippo) are a dying race though. Only few left and the ones with any success also have just a bit of ability in other fields. But every striker shouldn't be that total forward kind either. Not only does it only work on rare occasions (read teams) but it's also exceedingly dull.
I love the diversity of the forward role. The poachers, the target men, the trequartistas, the fantistas, the inside forwards, the boriellos.
Putting together a winning partnership requires taking into account the league, the forward types themselves and their skills, the formation and their service from the back. Fuck the 2 inside forward + a fake 9 of Barca. Give me a creative drifting forward paired with a natural born killer every day of the week.
tl;dr let's sign Inzaghi, guys.
