Best Striker in the World now

[phil80]

The thread is the best striker NOW. Henry is nowhere near the best right now

[Hendrixforpope]

As for best striker in the world right now I'd probably pick Villa.

I would probably have to agree :)

[thebigman]

ruud is a bonafide goal scorer

but would u pick him over the likes of villa who offer more in the way of assists as well as goals?

Torres

The fundamental role of a striker is to score goals and Ruud is, in my opinion, the best finisher in the world. Villa and others might offer more overall but they contribute less goals as a direct result. It depends entirely on what you want in your team.

Ruud Van Nistelrooy

Ruud actually gave more assists than Villa in La Liga last season, so either way is good.;)

I haven't been on here for a long time, and i'm really suprised at how many people posted. I personally think David Villa is the best in the world at the moment. He scores so many goals for Valencia and I dont think they would even finish in the top 8 without his goals. I'm a Real fan but I wish we had signed Villa this summer. We really do need to get rid of Saviola and find a replacement, not saying he's a bad player but I think Real was a wrong move or a move too far. Second to Villa I think we should sign Podolski. He doesn't seem all that happy at Bayern, with Klose and Toni the main strike force. Podolski is also a replacement for Van Nistelrooy. Both Van Nistelrooy 32 and Raul 31 will be gone within the next 3 years (probably), I wouldn't like to see Raul go as he's such a Real legend but there's a time when a striker needs to retire and 34/35 is when to. We should buy Stefano Okaka from A.S Roma and Aleksandr Prudnikov from Spartak Moscow. In five years I can see our strike force being:

Higuain, Podolski, Okaka, Prudnikov

Anyway, as for the UCL game tonight I think Zenit will be strong at home but we'll get the win. 2-1 Real, VDV and Raul getting the goals.

I'm a big Bayern fan and a follower of Podolski. I hope he can sort things out at Bayern and perhaps win a place in the starting XI but if that doesn't happen I would like to see him go to Real so he can get the playing time he deserves at club level.

Just as long as he doesn't go to Manchester City!

I would hate if he went to Man City. Real is somewhere I would be able to deal with him going to.

Real has advantages that City doesn't have. One, it's virtually a guarantee of CL football, and two, not only will he be with Metzelder during his first foray outside of the Bundesliga, but he'll have a German coach as well.

Yeah, I think he would fit in well with Real. I think he'll be able to use his speed to fit in with their style quite easily as well.

Works for me.

[Ronaldihno34]

Ronaldo and Henry

[phil80]

Ronaldo and Henry
Henry is not anywhere near the best

[Hendrixforpope]

Henry is not anywhere near the best

He's a newbie, he knows not what he says :)

[Duck Manson]

Henry is not anywhere near the bestBut Ronaldo is? Henry would run circles around Ronaldo while stealing his Tripple Whopper Cheese.

[phil80]

I wasn't sure which Ronaldo he was referring to, because others have included CRonaldo as a striker. Either way, brazilian ronaldo is way past it as well
