hm, not sure that a true big man would ever have that drink. don't know who hoarau is but that's a real big man-sounding name he's got.

taxonomy of bigness aside, i'd guess that any of these guys could Do A Job for my team, so i'll go adebayor for the lols.

shit why havent qpr been linked with big luca, sort it out flavio

voted him

be like having danny dichio back

noodles where u at!

As a Villa fan, I'm going with Adebayor to team him with Agbonlahor. Like the ring of the two names together, though they'd probably be a totally shit combo.

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

That Dichio goal against Wolves was amazing. I thought he was a half-decent player, but he and Gallen were handed too much responsibility too early and couldn't deal with it.

Missed this thread. Used to love Dichio, reminded me of an old story from Roy of the Rovers or Tiger or something called "The Pop Star Footballer". 1 good game in 10, like, but what can you do?

Bendtner and Zigic both tainted with the Bluenose stain and bollocks to an Adebayor, lolz or not. I like the cut of this Hoarau fella's jib tho.

Zigic also tainted by having fuck all talent

Adebayor is the most talented albeit a nob head. Zlatan is too talented to be a true big man right?

he's too uninterested to be a good one.

Lol isn't that the main thing these big men have in common?

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?

yes.

What am i agreeing to here, exactly

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.

haven't you heard? big dan is back to claim his rightful place up front

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.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

no dzeko lol

no comic value anymore

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.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

spurs win!

'Arry been lurkin'

5-1 would ave been a top top result
