Ronaldo Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 The fact he can strike a ball well with both feet puts him on quite the pedestal at this club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 He'll probably be 2nd choice next year, hope he can keep up the standard he had going before he got injured. He's got the determination, a lot of good physical attributes and has a very strong goals record so Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Best is quite the confident player, even some of the stuff he attempts on the pitch shows he isn't afraid or overwhelmed by this league, he's just a fairly average player. Can't argue with his return this season though, he's kept us ticking on nicely Aye, loved his celebrations against W.Ham, had been mainly written off by every one before the game then nets a hat-trick and celebrates as cool as you like, as if to say "I told you so."

RupertCommunicator Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 He'll probably be 2nd choice next year, hope he can keep up the standard he had going before he got injured. He's got the determination, a lot of good physical attributes and has a very strong goals record so I fucking hope not! Yes, he's a reasonable player, but if he's our second best CF next season I think we'll have failed in the transfer market. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course our 'wide man' signing may well be a forward/winger player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderson Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 I'd be happy with him starting the season as 2nd choice. I'd like to see us bring in an established striker obviously and then a promising youngster who'll be looking to be pushing ahead of Best in a season's time.

Dr. TC Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Amongst the other stat highlights in that article: The sharpest individual shooter was Samir Nasri, who hit the target with 65.4% of his efforts, making him more precise than Dirk Kuyt (62%) and Peter Lovenkrands (60%). And: Wigan Athletic's Charles N'Zogbia again attempted more dribbles than any other player this season (301, way ahead of Jonas Gutiérrez on 219) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Best strikes a ball with his weaker foot better than all of the other strikers can manage with their strongest. Pathetic really. Completely over-the-top, but i agree in sentiment. If i was letting any of our current strikers go, Best would be the last. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
