Hard to do that in the modern game if you aspire to be a top team. That's largely why he cannot hold a starting position in his clubs
You just might get away with it at a tournament

A hard proposition given the expected work rate in the game today.

would have to be a consistent 30-40 goal player a season to justify this.

I don’t know. Miroslav Klose was a benchwarmer at Lazio but kept getting picked for Germany for whom he was devastating. Tournament ball is different

The new coach should pay attention to this fact, we shouldn't depend too much on Osimhen, Nacho has strengths we can use despite how hot and cold he blows.
Our problem is not that we don't have players to put the ball in the net but rather that there is no supply to the strikers and they have to feed off scraps. Even if we had any of the top strikers in the world to lead our attack (not saying we don't have already), they would struggle with the kind of support they would be getting.. I mean we have virtually no players that can consistently cross the ball into the box, no one to deliver quality set pieces and players with limited abilities to get the ball into the final third through the middle so how do we expect a striker is going to be able to score with that kind of a setup?

Its an old move from the dusty fields of niaja that those that have actually played in Niaja will know. He tries to get the ball by going through the opponent's legs and dragging the ball out. Nacho is actually very good at it , gotta have excellent timing to pull it off but VAR ni gree.

Just say they are average players, above average players.
Not really better than those not called up.

No we do not have.
Top strikers made consistently significant improvements in their game.

A complete striker. Could play with back to goal
from wide; left and right
and could drop slightly into MF behind and in support of the top striker.

He could score with his right foot, left and with headers.

At his prime, as complete a striker as you could fine...

They score because they get the chances. No use parading strikers if they are not getting chances. They say we play wing play,all I see is a lot of buzz on the wings and horrible crosses ,all buzz and no end. Then you have a midfield all they do is tackle and no creativity

Even Ronaldo will struggle to be Ronaldo in that set up.
