Best 3 strickers

[accesscrimea]

A recent BBC article comparing the best 3 strickers in the Premier league; the white Rooney and Torres and the black Drogba.

We have got such an array of fabulous talent in front of goal in the Premier League, but, for me, Rooney, Drogba and Torres are a cut above.

Now, how to choose? In true tabloid style, I am going to select five categories and award marks out of 10.

To decide on categories, I have consulted with Mark Bright. Here's what we came up with.

FINISHING

Torres - most at home inside the penalty area where he accelerates and glides past defenders with fantastic poise. He has the ability to find his spot with either foot and is great in the air, too. 9/10

Drogba - maybe less of a penalty box predator than Torres, but he can unleash immense power from outside the box. Comfortable on either foot, tremendous in the air and, of course, uses his strength to terrorise defenders. 9/10

Rooney - his goal-attempts are almost always on target as he performs the simple and sublime in front of goal. He may not be quite as effective as Torres or Drogba in the air but is a danger to goalkeepers from almost anywhere. 9/10

Fernando Torres - deadly with either foot and great in the air

TEAM CONTRIBUTION

Torres - Liverpool's system allows him to rely on others to do much of the hard work outside the box. But you couldn't call him a shirker. 7/10

Drogba - is often Chelsea's best defender of set-pieces, with his power and ability in the air, and since Luiz Felipe Scolari left his attitude has been spot on. 8/10

Rooney - he is a fantastic creator of goals for others as well as scorer of goals for himself. He was often used as a left-sided attacker last season, when Ronaldo played as the centre forward. His willingness to track back is legendary. But his tackling sometimes leaves room for improvement. 9/10

Dider Drogba - an asset in defence as well as attack

PACE

Torres - blistering acceleration with balance makes marking him as hard as catching a fish by hand. 9/10

Drogba - he's quick enough when it matters, though it's his strength which makes him so fearsome. 8/10

Rooney - probably lacks the acceleration of Torres, but his ability to be in the right place at the right time is uncanny. 8/10

Wayne Rooney - not as pacy as Torres but pops in the right place at the right time

DISCIPLINE

Torres - gets frustrated with team-mates on occasion but rarely gets angry with opponents or referees. He seems to be the model pro when it comes to keeping cool. 9/10

Drogba - his red card in the Champions League final against Manchester United and antics after the Barcelona semi show that Drogba will on occasion lose his head. 7/10

Rooney - he does seem to have worked on his tendency to lose his temper, but it's something which has been played on by opponents in big matches. 7/10

STAYING FIT

Torres - it's a nagging worry for Liverpool fans who saw Torres miss so much of last season with hamstring injuries, mostly sustained whilst playing for Spain. 7/10

Drogba - not quite so indestructible as his physique would suggest, but then he is six years older than Torres and seven older than Rooney. As a result, he has been getting kicked for longer. 8/10

Rooney - he is harder to stop that the Terminator. He just keeps on playing week in, week out, never losing his edge or consistency. 9/10

So the totals - and as I write this I haven't a clue what they will be...
Torres --- 41/50
Drogba --- 40/50
Rooney --- 42/50

The BBC seems to be getting worried. A couple of years ago they would probably have been "bigging up" two other Blacks alongside Drogba in an article like this. But then they probably realized they moving too fast and alienating much of the White working class; so, in Lenin's phrase, they've taken one step backward so they can take two steps forward later on.

Anything from the BBC has to be taken with a pinch of salt as it is one of the most corrupt, politically correct, and anti-White working class organizations in the world. When we have a proper change of government in the UK - and I'm not talking about David Cameron - we will need to completely clean out the BBC.

I am not much of a soccer fan but I love to watch Torres. The guy is great. I think he is the best.

For me Torres has to be the best striker in the premiership.

If we are talking about the best out and out strikers in the world i would say

1. Torres
2. Ibrahimovic
3. Arshavin can be a CF/ST/CAM
4. Wayne Rooney
5. Drogba
6. Eto
7. David Villa
8. Robin Van Persie

May be missing some but they seem to be a step above the rest of the competition.

The best up and coming forwards would have to be
1. Pato
2. Edin Dzeko
3. Benzema

Out of all of those strikers 11 are white. Many of the top leagues may try their hardest to bring in cheap young african strikers with the hopes of darkening the position, but when it comes to the elite of the elite they can't match their white counterparts.

It seems that they are trying to bring in more black stikers at all levels.There are a ton in the Championship it seems.

I would take Rooney over Arshavin.

Messi is a striker also.Maybe we should just say scorers or attackers.There are players who are expected to score a lot and some are meant to transition play like Alonso or Barry.

The BBC won't even give the race of a murder suspect.I think they want to destroy England and turn it into a 3rd world country. I wonder what the BBC calls illegal aliens?

I think Martin Bashir who is anchor of Nightline use to work at the BBC.Why would ABC hire him? There are a ton of Americans who want to work at ABC as an anchor, but they have to hire a Pakistani guy from the UK to fill that spot. What is the point of a country? I am so sick of these corporations who stab Americans or Brits in the back.
