Good old talksport were talking about Aguero tonight in regards him being the highest Foriegn goalscorer and the question was - is he the best foreign striker seen in the Prem era ? And where did he sit in regards when you add in the English

Made me think which would be my top 5 foriegn and top 5 overall

Foriegn -

1. Henry
2. Aguero
3. Suarez
4. Van Nistelrooy
5. Torres

Overall

1. Henry
2. Aguero
3. Shearer
4. Suarez
5. Rooney/Fowler/Kane ( couldn’t split them )

Yes to date he's 200 games behind Shearer and needs 84 iirc.

Yeah but Shearer played for Newcastle

not that youd have a Liverpool bias or me an Arsenal one but pretty sure Van Persies stats will stack up well against Suarez and Torres!

Not a bad list on the foreign side, I think Drogba deserves to be in the conversation. He took a while to get going but on his day was absolutely unstoppable.

Rooney is an odd, I almost don't consider him a striker, he was almost more of a number 10 or 'second striker' for me. Yes he played up top but not exclusively, whereas the others there are all out-and-out strikers. Makes it hard to compare Rooney to them.

I'm not sure about RVP, as he was quite average and injury prone for a lot of his early Arsenal years. He had two or three world class seasons and then went a bit off the boil again.

I believe RvP is a goal every other game
Suarez was 70 in 110
And Torres when at Liverpool was 65 in 100

But i was going on more than just the stats

 

[fundy]

144 goals in 280 games
85 goals in 212 games
69 goals in 110 games

One of them is a long way 3rd, the other 2 are pretty close (strike rate against longevity).

yeah of course, youre going on the Liverpool shirt (as shown by only counting Torres stats when at Liverpool)

Yes because that’s when he was at his best before his serious knee injury that lost him his crucial pace - judging the player at his peak. I would take a peak Torres over a peak RvP - it wasn’t “ which player is statistically “ the best .

yet you use Torres stats from his peak pre injury against Van Persies stats from his whole time in the premier league, not as if RVP was ever injured is it lol

apples and pears

 

[Orikoru]

Orikoru, what's your opinion now on Jose Mourinho now, and his style of football?

I don't know what you mean. We've only kept one clean sheet in the league under him so far, he could make us more defensive if anything. Granted he has not improved us a great deal over Poch yet. We need to invest since Aurier is useless, and he doesn't seem to rate Vertonghen or maybe reckons he's past it. Can't wait for Lloris to come back as well, Gazzaniga is poor.

My opinion wasn’t based on stats alone as I have already stated - I wasn’t using anyone stats against anyone - it wasn’t yourself that brought stats into it

If you want to have RvP over Torres then please do so ? all about opinions

 

[clubchamp98]

The only thing I didn’t like from either tackle was studs up. The guy that Robertson caugh, his studs were not raised hence less chance of injury. How many professional fouls do City commit. One or two I would say, but none have the potential for serious injury. For me, studs up whether you injure someone or not, win the ball or not yellow minimum.

One or two?
You must have gone home after 30mins.

From what I've seen the style is different, he doesn't play "The Press". Which I preferred as its more exciting and tends to keep the opposition more on the back foot. I know it's early days, but thought he would have improved the defence. It's been 1 step forward then another back. Some of the games have been with us sitting back behind the ball and just trying to exploit mistakes made by the opposition.
