You think Berbatov is the best striker in the Prem?

Almost by default right now. Drogba and Rooney have been off kilter this season. Adebayor (who I think is great, FWIW) is unproven as a longer term first choice striker. van Persie is also crazy inconsistent. It has to be one of these 5, rigth? Who else is there that could be #1? Owen before he went to Madrid != Newcastle Owen. Bolton's style of play is so weird that it's hard to really evaluate Anelka. I did completely forget about Bellamy and Utaka in my original post (haven't seen enough of Utaka anyway...) but they are 3rd tier guys at best.

It seems there is far more quality in terms of attacking midfielders than strikers right now in the prem, I mean, I'd take Ronaldo over any of the strikers if I was looking for an attacking player. Perhaps the same for Fabregas as well.

Eh, I guess its pretty damn hard to say who is #1, but a top 5 in no particular order would be best. The thing is, for me at least, is that I don't think there is much difference between Keane and Berbatov.

I strongly, STRONGLY disagree. And Berbs, Rooney, Drogs, v. Persie, Adebayor/Anelka...

[ThaSaltCracka]

eh, you can disagree, but I think they are pretty even. Anyway, these are the top 10, in no particular order:

Rooney
Drogba
Adebayor
RVP
Anelka
Torres
Keane
Berbatov
Tevez
McCarthy


The rest are all second tier guys to me.

Think Torres/Tevez/Adebayor are class players.....but still unproven...I'm also glad you omitted Owen...Ii have never been a fan !

They play @ world class teams.... that can be misleading...Take Andy Cole & Dwight Yorke for example...They were scoring 50+ goals a season @ Man Utd...but anyone could have scored that level of goals...

[cosimaninja]

no partticular order since im just going club by club through the team sheets.

Emmanuel Adebayor
Robin van Persie
Benni McCarthy
Nicolas Anelka
Didier Drogba
Fernando Torres
Dirk Kuyt
Emile Mpenza
Wayne Rooney
Carlos Tevez
Louis Saha
Michael Owen
Obafemi Martins
Benjamin Mwaruwari
Dimitar Berbatov
Jermain Defoe
Craig Bellamy
Dean Ashton
Gabriel Agbonlahor

I think the first 18 are significantly better than keane but last 2 its pretty close.

oh and i dont think andy johnson or viduka are better than keane.



heres my top ten in order(11 actually)
1.Wayne Rooney
2.Didier Drogba
3.Dimitar Berbatov
4.Robin van Persie
5.Fernando Torres
6.Emmanuel Adebayor
7.Carlos Tevez
8.Michael Owen
9.Obafemi Martins
9.Benjamin Mwaruwari
10.Emile Mpenza

thx for your input.

[Vavavoom]

My input is :

You can't be serious with your 1-11... I mean I know its subjective..but yours is laughable....Possibly all 4 of our (Spurs) strikers start at Man City !! Thats it...

U included Mpenza...

One thing that has struck me about the premier league...it seems like 90% of the teams wear either red or blue. Would it kill someone to wear green or something?
