    He's just having a good run, i'd even put Dzeko up there ahead of him.

    Tash is a wally and thinks Ronaldo is better than Messi.

    In terms of answering your question tash, I'd say rvp, aguero, dzeko, ba and rooney are the top 5 in the league.

    What Aguero does on the ground at times is amazing, but you see sparks of brilliance from Aguero but is overall game isn't spectacular. He goes missing in loads of games and is inconsistent.

    Ba is a beast on the ground and in the air, and score far more often. Ba is a better striker. He isn't as skillful as Aguero, but as a striker, he's better than Aguero is.

    Dzeko is not better than Demba don't be ******ed. If you said Aguer, RVP or Rooney were better I'd understand, but Dzeko?

    Nah.

    I never said he was better than Rooney or RVP. I said others in this league as all round players are better than him, more technical. BUT as a goal threat, Demba is only 2nd to RVP.

    it's depends whether your comparing them on no9 qualities or no10 if you know what i mean. He's a better no9 than Aguero i agree

    That's what I'm trying to say!!!

    As an up front threat, apart from RVP, there's no one in this League I'd like up front more than Ba, but as an all round player, Rooney is better and more technical.

    Aguero is more skillful than Ba, and better on the ground, but Ba is more of a beast up front and a better striker. Not a better PLAYER a better STRIKER.

    Seriously? Maybe in the one or 2 games a season he bothers making an effort in.

    It is not his fault Ferguson refuses to play him more. Whenever he plays he seems to score and is always a goal threat and is a very good finisher, much better than Rooney, Suarez or Dzeko.

    Plus this was amazing.

    I've heard that FIFA retired his name in honour of his awesomeness.

    I think Van Persie, Rooney, Aguero, Suarez are all better than Ba, plus a fit and firing Torres tbh.

    Demba Ba has the best minutes/goal ratio in the league this season, has by far the best chance conversion rate and also the best shooting accuracy.

    Van Persie ****s all over him when it comes to creating chances for his team. Demba has attempted 6 crosses to, get this, ****ing 90 from Van Persie (as a comparison, Rooney has attempted 10 and Aguero has 20).

    He's also created 39 chances for his team, of which he has 5 assists. Demba has created 7 chances with 1 assist.

    (All stats as of 25/12/11)

    Van Persie playing slightly off Ba, ON CURRENT FORM, would be the best strike partnership in world football and in Premier League history, imo.
