Do Arsenal have the strongest strikeforce in the land?

[Nic83]

Eduardo and Bender do not deserve to be so high on the list, Crouch is better than Eduardo every day, the lad only scored his first Premier League goals today!!!Bender is still very raw and should be bottom of the list.

I'd find it tough to score myself if I wasn't on the pitch!

Ramos said after the game today that he doesn't know if Berbatov is staying, he also said it was up to the directors (via a spanish interpretor). Looks a strong possibility that he will be gone. Just hope the mancs don't sign him. He would offer them alot more balance.

Could well up being Anelka to Chelsea and Berby to Scum.

Where the f*ck is Dhavlos? I was hoping he'd be around to be sick all over this Arsenal love-in.

It sounded ok in my head, but "Berby" is possibly the gayest thing ever written on the internet.

Apologies

I love your visceral hatred of Arsenal. DJS did his best for you earlier but unlike you and Dhavlos he just doesn't care enough .

I think there is a good case for Arsenal having the best selection and depth in the attacking area though. However they certainly don't have the best individuals as IMO Torres, Drogba, Roonay and probably also Tevez are better than any of the players they have.

Why would Berbatov move to the Scum? He would be third choice there. The only realistic top clubs in the PL are us and Chelsea.

He would play more or less every week for us or them.

I can appreciate Arsenal are really good and I've got some sympathy with the view they have the best pool of strikers in terms of quality in depth.

I just find them arrogant beyond belief given they haven't won anything for a couple of years or more and that Wenger has yet to succeed in Europe after a decade of trying. I wonder if those unimaginative and hypocritical gooner fans shouted "Hoof" yesterday when their defenders were lumping the ball upfield or booed when Fabregas exaggerated the effect of Arteta's catching him in the face.

Pretty sure he'd get loads of games at Scum. He, Tevez & Roon would all get a lot of game time.

Although Berbatov would be 2nd choice for us, he'd still be "rotated" fairly often, if Rafa's rotation record is anything to go by.

Berbatov would also likely get a Premiership winners medal if he went to Scum.

He'd go to Scum in a heartbeat mate IMO

Berbatov is off the Chelski IMO.

Berbatov is off the Chelski IMO.

Wouldn't surprise me with Drogba off to Milan in the summer.

Observe the following model:


This point-based system is designed to demonstrate the comparitive qualiity of the strike forces of the Premierships top four clubs.

Of course it is subjective - feel free to do your own version.

My analysis shows that while Liverpool and Chelsea have the best strikers (one 10-pointer each), Manchester United have the best partnership (a 9 and an 8-pointer) and Arsenal have the most depth (a 9, 7, 6 and 4-pointer).

Here is the overall table:

1.) Arsenal - 26 points
2.) Man U - 22 points
3.) Chelsea - 20 points
4.) Liverpool - 18 points

Disco would be proud of this post

Good post though, don't think anyone would argue we need to add some class to our strike force.

[Nic83]

That's actually one of the best posts I've seen on here. Spot the **** on. This is why we are annual title talkers and not winniers. Our strike force is nowhere near good enough on the whole which leads us to settling for horrible draws due to poor finishing.

Exactly like today. torres has an off day and Kuyt has a Kuyt day. Result 0-0 in a game we TOTALLY dominated

It seems like you all UNDERRATE Adebayor

Really? Where does he rank on the strike-o-meter®?

I made him a 7-pointer, which I thought was fair.
