No but id definatly look into this as a preferable skill for a player to have. For example Bentley was bought because he is a good player but also to solve the problem of set-pieces. There must be hundreds of players with this skill around europe and beyond, and maybe not been publicised due to it not being a fashionable tactic used.
Exactly, players have different attributes, this is an attribute that is only just being discovered. People laugh at it just because its a bit different but if it gets 30 goals a season (and on current form that is a distinct possibility) then i bet most of stoke's relegation rivals won't be laughing. Its often said the teams that have a 25+ goal a season striker in thir team are the team most likely to stay up... step forward rory delap, I reakon his value has probably increased 10 fold, ie from 300k to 3mil?
