Demba Ba - 2nd best striker in the league?

I know there are others in this league that are more techincal than Demba.

But in terms of an all round goal threat and goal scorer, I'd say Demba Ba is only beaten by Van Persie when it comes to being a striker.

Rooney is more technical than Demba and has more in his locker, but I think Demba is a better center forward than he is, and Demba is more of a threat in the air.

Demba has been scoring consistently since he came to the prem, and for two different clubs.

Aguero - Hot and Cold
Suarez - Skillful but inconsistent when it comes to scoring.
Rooney - Has good scoring patches and bad patches.

Demba is a better goal scoring and up front threat than any of these IMO.

Agreed?

 

Agreed. In terms of goal threat I would've said Hernandez but he's been dogshite whenever he's played this season!!

 

Van Persie
Auguero ???
Rooney
Demba

 

Didn't Carroll score alot of goals the first half of last season?.....

 

Yep. Then he moved to some rubbish team with cash

 

Second best priest, second best, second best, second best...

 

According to childhood folklore:

So technically...

 

Does this mean that Aguero likes wearing a tiara and gold-sewn dresses?

 

I can only assume so, who are we to question scientific fact?

 

Pointless thread.

 

I'd add Tevez to the list as well, just because he can't get a game for Muppet Mancini doesn't mean he's not good any more.


Suarez doesn't deserve a mention he's been outscored by near enough every sloppy 2nd rate striker in the league this season. Berbatov has a better record than him in terms of goals in the last 2 seasons. Berbatov has averaged 1 in 2, Suarez 1 in every 2.4 and that's including half a season in the Eredivisie. What's more, Berbatov wipes the floor with Suarez on every other level as well as goals and he's our 4th choice striker.

 

Exactly. Unless he's one of those losers who tries to claim it is 'Cowboy in the West' so that he doesnt get called gay for the rest of the day. We'll need to put some more research into this one to establish which.

 

Aguero.

 

Nah, Aguero isn't better.

Demba is good on the ground and in the air, plus Demba scores consistently, where as Aguero will have a great game and then **** off for a couple.

Yep. 2nd best in the league.

 

.....think we may be getting a little ahead of ourselves here

 

Muppet Mancini, because he doesn't want to play a disgrace like Tevez?

Would say Demba is top 5 definitely.

You're talking about one of the greatest strikers and finishers on the planet in Aguero. He's not some scruff scouted from league one who's having a semi-decent season. Aguero can muscle in with the best strikers on the planet on his day. He's got a better international scoring record than that of Lionel Messi. Messi might be the greatest player of all time. Messi is shocking in the air does that mean Ba is better than him? It's not Aguero's fault that he's only small, he makes up for that by opening up defences at will, with flair and precision.

Aguero has scored in every month since the season began and has scored consistently throughout the season, contrary to what you think.

I'm a United fan and I can see this so surely you can appreciate when you're bigging your own player up just a bit too much.

Wrong, you jumped the gun. Mancini is a muppet regardless of the Tevez fiasco. Nobody condones what Tevez is getting up to, but you can't disregard his ability because Mancini won't play him.

 

Aguero.
