    I'll give him a chance. He could be like a Bent type striker. Quite under rated and not a very technical player but consistently scores goals.

    I think he can score roughly as many goals as Carroll did for us (per game), but isnt as good of course. That said, I'd be happy to see him get the number 9 shirt if he managed 15 goals this season.

    Fair play to him, he has confidence and he's willing to try and prove himself which is more than other strikers both here and at other teams.

    I rate him I think an extended run in the team will turn him into a really good prem striker

    Ever since he said he'd rather earn the right to wear the No.9 for us I liked him. So why not give him the chance? If he keeps banging them in then good on the lad!

    What a remarkable turn of events it would be if he did end up getting it. Coloccini-esque - from flop to captain.

    He's good enough for a mid-table club, at the moment we look like being nothing else so he's ideal for us.

    He's never really been prolific for any of his clubs apart from us whilst in the prem. Begs the question, what makes us different to all of his previous teams?

    I cant see why, he cant become our next number 9! His goal ratio is good, and he puts in a shift when he plays. If he gets 15 goals this season, it'd be an insult for him not to be in with a shout for the Number 9. I'd rather he had it, than some unknown quantity from the continent.

    I suppose he is getting better service here, but it is crazy!

    Part of a tight knit group, better service, good understanding with the players and is very settled would be my guess.

    I think Carroll will be a 20+ goals a season striker in the future, i reckon Best could be around a 15+ goals a season striker, but Carroll will bag more assist. Best only gets the odd couple of assists a season.

    I am happy with Best's goalscoring record and if he's confident then I'm happy.

    Seems like a lad who needs confidence and a run of games. So far he's done well, and considering the fact that all our other strikers are ****e (will give Ba time to prove himself of course) i'm happy to have him as our main striker.

    I agree Joker, however he is our only hope i do like his positive attitude.
    He deserves a chance and I would love to be proved wrong

    Good on ya Besty! He's a goal poacher so provided he keeps getting himself in the right place at the right time his goal tally per season will only improve!
