Cronky Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 In order - Rooney Drogba Henry Bellamy Kuyt Adebayor Johnson Saha Anelka Martins Rooney better than Henry? Johnson better than Martins? Yes to both. Rooney I rate very highly as already the most complete striker. He's got skill, pace, strength and a football brain, whereas with all the others, good as they are, you can identify some weakness. Johnson I think is under-rated, and a major reason why Everton are doing well. Martins is dangerous, but is still a bit raw, and needs to improve technically on the ball, and in his reading of the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest kingdawson Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 so who are the 10 best stikers in our lovely league then? mine would be, in no particular order: Henry Rooney Kuyt Berbatov Martins Drogba Mccartney saha bellamy Anelka Michael Owen? narrowly misses out im afraid. Only Henry, Rooney and Drogba on that list are better than him. disagree completly. Your reasons being? each of them like Owen are more then capable of 20 + goals a season but each of them has a special attribute that Owen lacks. Wether its Kuyt with he's workrate, berbatov with he's skill and control, or Martins with he's powerful shots, Most of the players listed also assisted many of there teams goals (something i feel owen is poor at).

Owen's natural predatory instincts and ability to always find space in the box? As a striker I'd rather have that quality than a bit more work rate or a bit more skill.

Cronky Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 In order - Rooney Drogba Henry Bellamy Kuyt Adebayor Johnson Saha Anelka Martins Rooney better than Henry? Johnson better than Martins? I'm looking at this thinking: in order of what? Overall effectiveness, I suppose. Who I'd most like to see play for the Toon. It's all a bit artificial, because they each offer a different package.

Yeah he's a great talent, but he's still got a bit to go to match the likes of Henry. Well there's not a lot in it. Henry is faster, and technically better, although you couldn't say that pace or skill are problem areas for Rooney. My reservation with Henry is that he's not a physical player who's going to do much tackling back, or win many difficult challenges in the air. You won't see him battling with defenders to get on the end of many chances in the six yard box. He plays to maximise his abilities, and the Arsenal team fit around him. When he plays for France, and he has to fit into another pattern, he doesn't look that comfortable. Rooney, on the other hand, doesn't have a significant weakness that I can see, and can make the most of any situation that arises on the field. So for me, he edges it.
