Luca Toni Vs Lukas Podolski

[pittsy1]

Who has the better goal-scoring ability, who has more potential? For me when Podolski becomes more mature he will be a fantastic player, one of the best, whilst Toni is already a quality striker; but who do you think is the better player? I think Podolski :)

[MilanOnlyMilan]

At the moment Toni is better, mostly because he is much more experienced player.

[Yañez]

Toni no doubt

[Neutral2]

Toni is atm better, but Lukas will be better.

[ForeverRed]

Toni is a better finisher but Podolski has more potential obviously. Despite his inexperience, Lukas's form with the NT is undeniable at the moment. But Toni does take it clubwise.

[The Old Lady Hertha]

Once again I'm a bit confused with the comparison.

ONe is a target striker, big, and is the lead man for club.

The other is a fast support striker, not so big and not a lead man for a club.

I guess I'd take Toni here, Podolski is just too inexperienced. Maybe in a few yaers, but Poldi's NT form has been scintilating

[blanc]

Toni is approaching the wrong side of 30, while Poldi is barely into his twenties. It's a relatively silly question considering your emphasis on who has more potential.

[dor02]

Toni. He can head the ball better and his scoring average is slightly better. Podolski has the potential to be one of the best in the world soon.

[Pferd]

Well I thought highly of Podolski watching him on TV. However, I had the opportunity of seeing him live in the World Cup against Argentina & Italy.

He is nothing special. His techinique is just above average and has no other special features. In my opinion, putting him in the same thread with Luca Toni is already an insult. Even you can not compare him with Klose and if you push me very hard I would even say Kiessling.

I´m not surprised he is struggling with Bayern Munich. For sure he is capable of scoring four goals against San Marino, but that´s just about it. Against good defenders which don´t give him enough space he does nothing.

He is still young and for sure has time to mature and learn, but I won´t be holding my breath.

[Naughty by Nature]

Podolski is just average, noting special. Luca Toni on the other hand was the european top scorer.

[The Old Lady Hertha]

At 21, what Lukas has done is amazing IMHO. It of course does not hurt that he plays with Klose obviously helps him immensely.

He has a long way to catch up with Toni. But they both have different careers. Poldi has been in the spotlight (in Germany at least) for the last 3 years, and was called up to the national team (albeit weak) in Euro 2004. Toni has had a late renaissance, full marks to him, not many players go through such a renaissance. This makes the comparison all the more...........unusual.

Its like apples and oranges

[Excape Goat]

I bet no one here heard of Toni when he was at Podolski's age.

[torres9]

With a little more work and experience I think Podolski will be one of Europe's best strikers. I don't like Toni at all, but I have to admit he is a pretty prolific striker

[pittsy1]

Just imagine them two at front scoring all them goals....

[Bluecrux]

First of all however the poster was,he was stupid and the thread is stupid.
Toni's 30,poldi's 22.In what sense can you compare those two
Podolski is just average, noting special. Luca Toni on the other hand was the european top scorer.
Poldi leads the goalscoring chart in the euro qualifiers if i am not wrong.
Poldi is average.Get me some concrete proof so that the arguement could continue or think twice before you post

To damn bad they are playing together then!! At Bayern! :D :D

[Psychosis hsv]

Luca is very overrated, Podolski is still improving by day.

at the moment Luca is better than Podolski

[Dantheman1]

Luca Toni was a nobody for a long long time - a journeyman who needs the service if he is to deliver. To be fair in recent years he has been doing what is required, but it took him to his late twenties to achieve anything notable.

Podolski is a different case a boy who has been highly regarded for a long time. He has showed alot of potential, people actually believe he can go on and become a great.

The comparsion is unfair as there is no contest, if Poldolski fulfills his promise he will become a German legend. Luca Toni peaked just to late in his career to truly become a great.

[arvin sloane]

I agree that Toni is better now, because of his experience. But Podolski has a lot of potential and he may become a great player.
