Isn't it the accepted wisdom of football pundits everywhere that Heskey could be a battering ram thanks to his physique but lacks the aggression? That's what they always say about him. Not sure he could be lumped in with Drogba etc.

As for Champignon, to me he always had the look of a player who coaches didn't quite know where to play in his youth. Transpires he started out as a goalie.

TBH I can see both sides of the argument. Not ready to ignore the first 5 months of his tenure any more than I can ignore the last 5 months. He has been truly pitiful in pre-season.
