During Robert Glatzel's short time as a Cardiff City striker, there have been glimpses of real quality.
With the ball at his feet, he has looked cool, calm and collected; unflustered with his back to goal and fleet-footed in tricky areas in the penalty box.
But, as we know all too well, those traits alone are often not enough to become a top striker, especially on the undulating battleground of the Championship.
Many cite Fulham's Aleksandar Mitrovic as the best marksman below the Premier League; a bona fide battering ram who can definitely play a bit, too.
And while Glatzel might have the skills and the finishing to one day place him among the top bracket of forwards in the division, it is perhaps the physical aspect which can be lacking on occasion.
His stunning strike to put City 2-0 ahead against Leeds United on Sunday was nothing short of a wondergoal, though.
The ball was fizzed into him from Nathaniel Mendez-Laing and the big German striker controlled nicely with his first touch before drilling home off the post with his second, a volley.
It served as a reminder of just how much talent he has and why Neil Warnock forked out £5.5million for him in the first place.
But we mustn't forget just how well Callum Paterson did before Glatzel's introduction in the second half.
The Scot was nothing short of excellent all afternoon, too. He took on the thankless task of chasing lost causes, battling for headers and winning fouls with his back to goal in his own half.
If there was some way to combine both Paterson and Glatzel's best assets then all of City's striker problems would be solved.
"Ultimately, my job is to make Robert Glatzel into a good Championship striker and it's a big responsibility for me," manager Neil Harris said after the win over Leeds.
"Today, we went with Pato, because we felt Leeds would have a lot of the ball, so we would have to do a lot of pressing and a lot of first contacts, and then Glatz and Tomlin and Marlon Pack might be able to come on and affect the game later on as it turned out.
"Glatz is an excellent finisher, a terrific fella, but he's got to adapt to Championship football, the robustness of it and what is needed.
"My centre forward needs to run, we saw Patrick Bamford doing it for Leeds, we know Robert Glatzel is quality with the ball, that's not in question, but can he find the physical element?"
That is the million-dollar question.
In some ways, it is beneficial for Harris to have two strikers with such different styles.
If the manager wants a more physical, direct approach against teams who are going to enjoy more possession, such as Leeds, Brentford or Fulham, then Paterson is your man.
But if the Bluebirds feel like they are going to enjoy a little more territory, perhaps Glatzel in front of Lee Tomlin is the perfect combination.
There is no doubting, though, that the longer Glatzel plays in this division, the better he will get. The more accustomed he will become to the physicality and the rigmarole.
He has certainly been toiling away during the enforced break, too, to ensure he is ready for the play-off push.
"On day one, we did testing and Robert Glatzel won the physical output, running-wise," Harris revealed. "That shows he can run and the physical element of the game."
So he has got the legs, the touch and certainly the finishing prowess - his finish the FA Cup defeat by Reading back in February was also utterly sublime - but perhaps a little more physicality and a drop more self-belief are the factors which must be added to elevate him to become one of the best in the league.
"We have just got to keep working with him," Harris added, "building with him, mentally and physically, to make him a top striker.
"I'm really pleased for him to score today."
