Whatever man. My interpretation of 'better record' was taking into the account games played aswell as goals scored, I knew Chopra had outscored him hence why he got in the team of the year.
He is :
Subs: Williamson, Guthrie, Routledge, Alnwick (GK), Smith, Xisco, Ameobi, Lovenkrands, Vuckic, Ferguson, Henderson.
Ah sorry, I'm listening to Radio Norfolk and they never said his name.
Shola's scored more Premier League goals than lots of very good strikers, doesn't make him any better than them only that he's played like 100 games more.
Any good striker is looking to get '1 in 2' etc, ratios mean a lot.
Doesn't really define how good the player is, the fact he got played more. Goals per game is fairer, and Lovenkrands is visibly ahead in that sense.
Chopra was shocking both games he played against us last season aswell.
Neither are good enough to be relied upon in the Premier League.
Lovenkrands had a better record than Chopra last season, though.
Looking on the Football League site Chopra scored more league goals with 16, while Loven got 13.
Chopra got 18 in 44, while Lovenkrands got 13 in 29. Taking into account substitute appearences and playing wide left Lovenkrands had the better record.
Taking these stats off ESPN like, so dunno of the accuracy. Still the main point stands that they're both Championship players.
Lovenkrands came off the bench a few times, played left wing 2-3 games and didn't have any pre-season of note. You can make compensations for both players, but they're both of a similar level really.
Then get somebody other than Chopra. We don't want to go backwards, Chopra is too lightweight for the Premier League and too expensive for the average player that you end up burdoned with. He's crap.
