adebayour has stayed fit for full seasons & banged in 20+ goals.

He banged in 20+ goals once. Apart from that year his goalscoring record is very average. Many other strikers have achieved this anyway. I demand to have James Beattie added to the list.

Neil3030

Adebayour

I'd have Torres but for the fitness concerns, so I picked Drogba.

Kold

Ibra

Went for Villa. Whilst I think Drogba is probably one of the best strikers in the world, I wouldn't want him on my team...

Kev_ps3

Drogba

More people picking Ibrahimovic over Rooney:rolleyes::rolleyes:

Oliver1985

Rooney

Voted for Torres second after him would be Eto!!! Drogba is good but would not pick him cause of the way he carrys on falling around the pitch!!!

Johnny Utah

Rooney

Pato.

Reganio 2

Rooney

I love the fact that on the 1st page this was said

you know there is football outside the premier league?

Rooney still does more for the team and plays in the hole so shouldn't be included with these imo.

Then Liam O votes Rooney ... Hey Kettle your black.

Mitch Connor

Rooney

He cost about 2.5 million. Torres was about 30 million, Rooney about 32 million, etc etc.

For that alone he deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as those in this poll.

Being cheap doesn't make him one of the best forwards around. It makes him a great signing.

Michael Owen was free. lets add him.

Seriously. The question is who would you want in your team. Who is really going to answer. "If I could chose from amongst the best around, i'll chose this guy, cause he cost 2.5million". Stupid reasoning.

I think he is a fantastically talented player. and i would put a consistently fit and firing RVP right up there, but saying he should be up there based purely on what he cost, is stupid.

Agreed, he should be there on talent and potential (still only 26). He has plenty of both. injuries have been a problem, but when fit and in form he's fantastic. He had a poor game against Spurs and scored 2. Anyway, i think he deserves to be mentioned (certainly ahead of Adebayor). if i was to pick the best striker from that lot, i'd say Torres, without a doubt. Great finisher with speed and strength to boot.

Ibra

For Rovers I'd take any of them but if push came to shove as to who to partner with Twigg? Villa

Torres

Explain to me why that's ridiculous? Rooney is almost completely reliant on having a proper CF infront of him. Ibrahimovic is a self reliant player, if I could only pick on I'd have Ibra everytime. Infact, it's the exact same case for every striker on that list bar Rooney, who can't lead the line as well as the other players. Hardly ridiculous.

Great post. Twigg needs someone to do some hard work outside the final finish. With an off-season and rest finally due for Twigg though, Villa might be able to concentrate on goals too. Last time I looked at the poll, there was only two other votes for Villa, but gladly increased.

Eto'o would be a good option to spring from the bench :pac:

Benzema and Pato, two young lads who wouldn't look out of place on that list. There's more than just English football out there lads. Poor poll choice tbh.

Largely unproven talents so far, certainly compared to those on the list anyway.

Hmmm....

Drogba is 31- how many years does he have left in him?

So, which is a better choice, Benzema at 21 with a lot of potential or Drogba, a man ten years his senior?

I know which one I'd have...........

cson

Key word there being potential.

I suggest you learn the difference between potential and proven.

Johnny Utah

Rooney

But Benzema has been playing at the top level (Champions League) too for the last few years.

Besides, the op never mentions whether the player should have a proven track record at the top level. Has Adebayor proven himself?

The OP asks who you would want in your team, so let's say your a manager and you get either Drogba or Benzema for free.... who would you choose?

Nor does he mention potential. Hes asking who the best strikers are right now.

So right now I'd like Drogba please, not Benzema.

Adebayor has proven himself in one of the top 2 leagues in Europe - read Ligue Un is not 2 and this is Benzema's first season in one of those. He's been part of a team that was beaten 4-0 by a 3rd division Spanish team. The jury is still most definitely out.

As for Drogba, I don't like him but I'd have him playing for my team in a heartbeat. Proven track record, he scores goals and wins games and has been doing so for the past 5 years.

Drogba = proven.

Another good poll would be for the youngsters. Pato, Aguero, Benzema, Higuain, Balotelli, Bojan, Bendtner, N'Gog, Zarate, etc...

You gotta put someone in to please the premier league fans. Although I think Bendtner is actually turning into a handy little player.

Raul, Inzaghi, Van Nistelrooy, Henry, Drogba (31), Kanoute, Del Piero, Trezeguet. (Cant think of anyone else really)
