Dave Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Baffled how everyone can rate Best so highly, I have to say. Not highly, but he's better than the rest of the rot we have and at this moment I'd agree I guess, but that's not particularly difficult. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I think any striker who's started his PL career with 6 goals in 10 starts - and could easily have had another 2 - deserves a bit of credit, and under Dave's poignant filing system, probably falls under 'promising'.

Optimistic Nut Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Baffled how everyone can rate Best so highly, I have to say. 6 goals in 10 Premier League starts. Same number Carroll had in his first 10 starts this season. Similar record to Demba Ba. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Best came in at a difficult time, played himself into form, put in a shift every time and put away a variety of goals. I don't rate him highly but he went up massively in my estimation at the end of last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Venkman Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 that record's slightly tempered by a hat-trick against one of the very worst defences i've ever seen at st james like, including some of ours. that said i think he's a decent player, but not seen anything to suggest he's more Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 In our position he's an ample 3rd choice striker with room for improvement because of his age and very good attitude. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 If Best was cover next season and we had to play him, I'd still fancy him to get a goal. He gets in goal scoring positions and can score with the left, right or head. Not the worst qualities in a striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 As things stand i'd still be starting him, even if we get Ba. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
