Hello Kev how are you? I am surprised you are so adamant to call B.Laudrup a forward. Yes you are correct that he has played in a forward position on occasions such as the 1996-1997 season at Rangers where there was a lot of injuries to strikers but this was not his primary position through out his career. His natural position through out his career was a right-winger. He did have more of a free role at Rangers than his previous clubs and at World Cup 98 but his free role meant he could swap wings and come forward a bit more to support the strikers but he was certainly not a 'forward'. He played as a left back on occasions at Fiorentina so if your going to put he was a forward then surley you would also have to put defender?

Answer me these questions if he was a forward.

Why was he rated so highly in the 90's with such a poor goal scoring record for all clubs he has played for?

If he was a forward: Why did he win Danish player of the year in 1989 for Bayer Udingen only scoring 6 goals all season?

Why did Bayern Munich pay a record sum of 6 million for his services only scoring 6 goals for his previous club?

Why was he rated by FIFA as the 5th best player in the world in 1992 only scoring 2 goals for Bayern and 0 goals for Denmark in euro 92?

Why was he in euro 92 team of the tournament scoring 0 goals?

Why did the best team in the world at that time AC Milan want Laudrup on loan only scoring 5 goals for Fiorentina?

Why did he win best player in Scotland + Danish player of the year in 94-95 only scoring about 10 league goals?

Why did he only score 2 league goals for Rangers in 95-96 season in over 20 games?

Why did he only score 5 league goals in 97-98 season for rangers in over 30 games?

Why did nearly every big team in Europe want him while he was at Rangers with such a poor goal scoring record in Scotland?

Why is he rated as one of the best Danish players ever only scoring 21 goals for the national team?

The answers: he played too deep to score loads of goals and all thoe he had a free role that does not make him a striker in the slightest. How come most of his goals he set up were from the wing? I am fine thank you for asking. Though why you are so friendly after calling me dumb and a troll I dont know.

First off the number of goals a player scores has no bearing on his position. Brian Laudrup played mainly as a second striker like Denis Bergkamp so he naturally scores less goals than an out and out striker like Ally McCoist but that doesn't mean he is not a forward. And btw Alex Ferguson wanted him in 97 to replace Eric Cantona who was guess what? A FORWARD. If you think otherwise you have a problem with football terminology and not with me and I cant really help you with that. You ask Why he was in team of the tournament for Euro 92, im happy to accept he was one of the best players in that tournament so why do you willfully ignore the fact he was voted one of the best FORWARDS in world cup 98 I dont know. I have given you several independent sources which describe him as a forward and not a single one from you to disprove this. So why you have the audacity to act as a self appointed Brian Laudrup expert I dont know but unless you can provide an independent source to say Laudrup did not play as a forward I have no reason to listen to your arrogant claims.
