Strikers that are good in the air

I'm looking for a striker who is both strong and good in the air (as the thread name suggests :) ).
I've got about £10m to play with, maybe a little more, and I'd like the striker to be rated 70-80 (any higher starts getting expensive) and relatively young (max age 24 really - I'm in my second season so they'd be 26 by then).
Any recommendations? Any players that you've bought that fit this role well or that you know grow fast? :)|||Darius Charles of Stevenage.
Amazing player.
He's mainly a LB but he has decent stats for a striker, and has ST as one of his other positions.
And he's available for a bargain price!|||Oh come off it, he wants 70-80 players.
Not sure on their ratings but John Carew, Kenwyne Jones etc.|||Kenwyne Jones :)|||Marouane Chamakh|||

Darius is so big and strong, like the rest of our players, he is a 80 rating in all but rating (if that makes sense) :)
|||Carew and Jones are both good choices, except on my career mode they're 33 and 28 respectively (remember, +2 years) so won't grow much unfortunately.
Maybe I should have said OVR 70-75, because now that I look players rated closer to 80 are actually a tad expensive! I can almost afford Andy Carroll, who is £15.7m and rated 80 on my career.
To give an example of one player I'm considering - Bony, players for Vitesse. Rated 74, strength 87, jumping 88, £3.5m. The problem is his finishing is only 72 (which isn't terrible, but I'd like it to be better if possible.)|||Luciano Becchio, Grant Holt?|||How about Chamakh? I think the best player when it comes to headers|||

Darius Charles is the equivalent of an 80 rating but for less than £1 million.|||Oh do f*ck off, it's getting tedious.|||Jay Bothroyd.|||

On mine he's strong, but the rest of his stats aren't very good for a striker. But talking of Stevenage defenders, I used to play with Scott Laird when he was a trainee at Plymouth. His dad was one of the head coaches there, and he had two brothers also as trainees (don't know what they're doing now).


How about Chamakh? I think the best player when it comes to headers

You're right, he's awesome, but his wages at Arsenal have risen to over £100,000 a week, which is more than I can afford unfortunately.|||David N'Gog has been gold for me so far. You can get him from Liverpool for 10m and he improves right away. You could sell him in a couple years too for probably 30mill+ if he develops nicely.|||

N'Gog sounds like a great choice. I was also thinking about Di Santo (Wigan) and Rondon (Malaga). Both are strong, good in the air and have good finishing. Has anyone tried them before or know how they perform and develop?
