Simpson played a a winger mostly and all of them were better - he ended his career with nearly 100 goals
Tudgay was at the tail end of a highly successful career and in his final season a struggling club - he’s scored more league goals than biamou in less games
Bakayoko has a better record and is a better player
Clive Platt spent his career here as a championship player having scored far far more than biamou in the lower levels and he was signed like Tudgay in his 30’s
Hang on a minute why are you changing the goal posts and going based off how players performed for other clubs? "Platt scored 30 odd goals at L1 level for Northampton town, must be better than Biamou"
Going off your theory then Yakubu was the best striker to have played for city for the last 15 years.
Again, i don't think you really understand the role in a team for a no 9/target man.
