    I've never liked 'Zlatan' but he has a much, much stronger claim to best striker in the world than Lewandowski does.

    Better than Ruud was:56: No he's not. He is though world class, even before last nights game. A would have him at United in a heart beat if rumours are true.

    It remains to be seen how well he can perform outside of Dortmund's system.

    He's up there though.

    Certainly. There's the theory that anyone could do the job for Dortmund. Not saying Hooper would have scored 4 against Madrid last night though!

    People going on as if they had never heard of Lewandowski before last night. Guy has been really good for years. Clinical finisher, good link up play, maybe lacks a yard of pace but all round top player.

    Wouldn't say he is better than RVP or Falcao but he ain't fair off.

    Ibrahimovic ahead of Falcao? No chance.

    All opinions of course, but I don't know how you can justify having them in that order.

    Falcao is a really good goalscorer but his alround game is weaker than Ibrahimovic and Cavani's who hold it up better, are more technical, clever, creative etc

    Ibrahimovic will probably score 30+ in the French League this season which is unheard of, the top scorer in France usually gets about 16-22 goals due to the defensive set up with most teams playing 4-2-3-1 with two defensive mids. Ibrahimovic is destroying the League.

    Infact just looking there, he is already the best scorer in a Ligue 1 season in the 12 seasons of Ligue 1 and thats with 5 games to go.

    I appreciate how good Ibrahimovic is, but I think when Falcao is allowed to develop his game that bit more and move to a really top club, we will see the best of him.

    He's still only 27 and I'm surprised Atletico have kept hold of him this long.

    I wish villa would leave barca already, a few years ago he'd have topped my list, was better than falcao is now imo.

    For me personally Villa is the best striker on the planet, he is just at the back of everyones mind because of injury.

    Even at 31 (I think) he is an absolutely outstanding striker.

    Aye, an on form Villa would be well ahead in my list too but I`m worried we won`t see that from him again. He should maybe move to Dormtund when Lewandowski goes

    Aye Villa was awsome few year back, would be good to see him move somewhere else. What age is he now, about 28?

    Best striker in my life time was Ronaldo. Mostly before his injury, was frightening




    Seen above Villa is 31
