Poll: Diego Costa the best striker in the world?

[TheOneChan95 225]

It's obvious Diego is the best. I mean, no one else can be this good at the age of 46

[Special Juan 27,099]

Right now and based on his impact that he has had, I would say yes.

Just please come back from the International break without any worries please.

Just please come back from the International break without any worries please.

This a big fear of mine.

Suarez is unpredictable as hell. Take his crazyness away and he is best striker in the world. But he is what he is.

Rvp and Aguero get injured often, falcao and cavani never reached what was expected and Ibra is ghost in big games.

Strikers like Henry, Drogba, Van Nistelrooy, Raul, Ronaldo are what world class striker is all about. When the shit got real, they did the job. Not spending half season injured or playing in france. And they didnt do it for one or two seasons, but their entire career.

I think football in general become much more advanced and tactical, hence why we dont see as great CBs and strikers nowdays as we saw in past. Messi and Ronaldo are exceptions here.

Agree with the majority of it. However, one major flaw for Henry was his bottleness in finals. Think someone threw a stat at me that he's played in 11 finals and scored 0 goals.

Costa> Aguero>Falcao

RVP is past it. Suarez is the best in the world, he may rival Ronaldo & Messi for the Balon D'or.

Also, No mention of Hugo Sanchez? Surely he's one of the top 15-20 of all time?

5 La Liga titles

5 Pichichi's

1 Euro Golden Boot

Forgot Georgie Best. He'd be between C.Ronaldo and Van Basten.

How good were some of the English guys like Shearer and Lineker?

Shearer was a monster in every sense, didn't see much of Lineker. Truth be told, the late 80's and 90's generation of English players absolutely shits all over this current one.

But doesn't make your list? Lineker was a poacher, from what I've seen. Yea, for sure. I've seen a lot of Hugo Sanchez, amazing athlete.

My list only went up to 17 to accommodate Sanchez.

So Sanchez> Shearer? I need to watch some other old guys. I watched Sanchez for obvious reasons.

Hard to compare players of different generations, but in terms of ability and talent, yes.

Great list and you are one of the very few people that seem to rate Romario as highly as I do. The most underrated player ever alongside Michel Platini who I personally rate above Zidane.

Yes... Romario is better than Pelé. And Eusebio better than Cristiano... And Batistuta and Sanchez are in that list.

OK. And someone thought that was a great list, because you put Cristiano in 12th postiion...
