Elaborate ?

I don't need to, it's obvious. Or just try finding out who I voted for.

[StrategiC 73]

i would say Falcao (before injury) was the best striker in the last three years. However, Costa atm is diffenetly striker of the month (august). If he keeps his form he'll be up there soon.

[MrBlueGuy 1,552]

Best striker in the world based on last few seasons? No

Best striker based on last season? No as Suarez, Messi, Ibra, Aguero and possibly Falcao/Cavani/Lewandowski are all better

Best striker based on last 3 weeks? Yes

Wait until he scores 4 goals in a semi final of CL or 31 goals in 33 matches or 50 goals in a calendar year or overhead kick from outside the box or 30 goals for 3-4 seasons in a role or hat trick in a Super cup final+17 goals in Europa league or outrages goals.

I'm not going to judge him on 3 good games, makes me seem like I belong on Red and White Kop, but he's up there as one of the best. Suarez is on a different level at the moment though.

[MrBlueGuy 1,552]

Costa is only 25, with Mourinho at the helm, sky is the limit for him. Even the Ballon d'or is acheviable goal.

With his personality and UEFA vendetta against Mourinho/Chelsea it is a impossible unless he scores 40 goals and winning us the CL, BPL and FA cup+ Club WC and UEFA Super Cup in the same year. Probably need to have a great tournament with Spain in the summer as well.

Basically he got as much chance to become one as Lukaku

[The Chels 2,502]

Suarez best overall striker. Falcao best striker in the box.

[nadavTKL 1,787]

Suarez

Ibra

Falcao

Aguaro

Lewa

Costa

Cavani

RVP

Rooney

Than there's Dzeko, Higuain, Tevez, Sturridge, Benzema, Mandzukic, Martinez.

With another great season Costa could go up even more imo.

[Badboy 1,526]

Suarez is the best striker in the world in my opinion he just hasn't had the wild dips in form that the others have had.

[Azul 1,615]

Zlatan is the best without a single doubt. There shouldn't even be a discussion. How is Suarez better than Ibra? He has 1 worldclass season and everyone goes bonkers. Ibra stayed at that level for about 6 years.

[Jase 43,479]

TBH, the question in the thread title and poll is somewhat vague. When you ask who is the best striker at the moment, do you judge him just by the amount of goals he scored? If so, then Falcao probably wins it. But if you're judging it by their overall game and not just the goals, then Falcao shouldn't even be in consideration and Ibrahimovic and Suarez will arguably be the Top 2 in that regard.

[Hybrid Angel 2,130]

Suarez is a magnificent cunt but for me Zlatan is from another planet. Just look up his goalscoring record in Wikipedia, they're one of the most consistent I've ever seen. It's not just his goalscoring ability, its his technique, passing, understanding of the game, strength, etc...

I've always wanted to see Zlatan in Chelsea blue. Unfortunately it didn't happen.

[Spike 12,049]

Zlatan don't do trials.

[Myself 793]

not even close. suarez is.
