    The first one is, the second is a good finish.

    He was younger then. He has matured as a player and has improved due to this maturity. You clearly don't get this at all. If he is doing well in the Premier League for Newcastle then that is all that matters for us.

    Exactly! Obviously our Ram shagging friend from the midlands is a little too simple!

    So you can argue with games played and goals scored then?

    Taking his thoughts about looking at a players record when they first began thier careers would you rate this striker below?

    1987-88: 5 appearances and 3 goals
    1988-89: 10 appearances and 0 goals
    1989-90: 35 appearances and 5 goals

    Who is it?

    Answer: Alan Shearer

    Yeah. Just checked your profile though. The point still stands.

    Who cares, that is a small number of games in comparison to what best has played. Best has played over 200 games in his career, he is hardly a kid.

    I am talking about his current games played and goals scored. That is what matters. Not every player hits the goal trail straight away, it can take time and in the past year Best has proven that he can score at the highest level!

    I'm going to go through Best's goals from memory as I've seen them all


    West Ham - a now championship team

    2 tap ins from a combined total of 6-8 yards. 1 one-on-one.


    Arsenal

    a tap in from 5 yards


    Brum - a now championship team

    header from close range


    Everton

    tap in from a yard



    This season


    Fulham

    2 goals that should, imho, have been dealt with by the keeper


    Aston Villa


    Tap in from a yard after he fluffed a golden opportunity with a header from 3 yards which he really should have scored.




    On top of this he really offers nothing in terms of linking up. He's not overly quick, strong or exceptional in the air. Demba Ba is by far our best striker imho, he drops deep to join in the midfield and looks like he can create. Best, to be fair, is our next best striker.

    So you just contradict yourself to support your argument?

    The 'simple' part was correct. Even though you're not a fan of Derby you may still shag rams and you may live in thre Midlands. Who knows!

    How is that contradicting myself? I am saying he is a good striker currently. I can't argue with the fact that four years ago he was a poor striker with a poor strike rate. But now he has a good strike rate!
