Berbatov - the most complete striker?

[Ritchi3]

Eto'o and Drogba are easily more complete than Berbatov.

[Rhys]

Name another striker that has ALL Berbatovs attributes and to as high a standard as Berbatovs?

I can't.

You cant think of any other striker in the world that has these : Strength, pace, touch, vision, passing ability, heading and most importantly - a wide array of finishing, of the highest order.

Henry, Eto'o, Drogba, Larsson, Ibrahimovic, Ronaldo, Rooney, Fred, RVN any more??

Usually I can refrain from sticking my head in this cesspit of swirling turdery, but something about everyone turning into a complete fellater of Berbatov rubs me the wrong way. Nice player and that, but carried away much?

[Craig_H]

Not that long ago when we were celebrating winning that cup!!

6 years.

[Rich]

6 years.

and a lot of water under the bridge.

and a lot of water under the bridge.

Indeed. A lot has changed in that time.

[jayjay]

I agree with Rich on the point of scoring against weaker teams. Look at the defenders in those team. ****e.

I have a feeling that he won't do so well next season, ala Heskey. Before anyone starts the only comparison I'm making is 1st season tally

[red g]

I cant see how anyone with so little pace can be called a complete striker .....sure you need pace for that.

[lfcruleus]

Is Dimitar Berbatove currently the most complet striker in the world?

Is there an offensive attribute he doesn't have?

He is brilliant. Strength, pace, touch, vision, passing ability, heading and most importantly - a wide array of finishing, of the highest order.

He can create extra time on the ball with his brilliant touch and he has the calmess and ability to pick out a man if the chance isn't there to take it on himself.

He is tops.

Imagine a strikeforce of Berbatov and Torres with Dirk and Crouchy waiting in the wings

He looks good for Spurs but when he played against us for Leverkusen he was ****e, I think we need a quick striker and he aint that

None of those players have ALL those attributes, starting with the very first one on your list who is a woeful header of the ball

[Nic83]

Eto'o and Drogba are easily more complete than Berbatov.

Drogba a good passer? good vision? No.

Eto good in the air? Not particularly.

I could go on but I think you see my point.

big deal henry cant head, you could pick one attribute he doesnt have yet henry is faster, more technical and a better passer etc than berbatov will ever be.

berbatov is good but your making him out to be the perfect example of a striker but he has flaws as do every other player. dont go on nic your argument is futile. berbatov is not the best player in the world

[dww]

So have we decided that the answer is no yet?

[Roboklopp]

I did a long time ago. Cannot speak for anyone else tho.

Mate, you're totally missing the point.

I said "complete", not best.

By complete, I mean as regards to being the striker who has a bit of everything.

Of course he's not the "best" striker in the world!
