LOL, I wonder why you picked Ibra, hmm *Looks at name of memeber and avatar*...Nope still don't know why. Anyway...
Tbh your argument of haven't won everything is pretty shocking exspecially with Villa, if he was with a top club and it's not like no one wants him (which if they did, your argument would be valid) but becuase big clubs do/did want him it kinda cancels it out becuase he would of won plenty, and it's not his fault that Valencia are saying no to anyone who hasn't put in a monumental amount of money for him.
Actually, it wasn't an argument against Villa I made against Villa, because I think he's brilliant, but one that people could make if they wanted to discredit him. That was the point of my post. But let's look at your argument: So your basically saying that if Villa was playing for a top club he would of won plenty, yes? Then I could say if Ibra was playing for a top contender for Cl, he would of scored plenty in knockoutstages because he'd get a lot more chances at it. So going by your logic, your own "knockoutstage" argument is invalid.
Anyways, I'm not saying he shouldn't of scored one by now, because it really is mindboggling, but it's too easy of a way to discredit him, especially considering he's achieved two times as much as any other player on that list, excluding Eto'o.
BUT PERSONALLY I think he has to keep it up for at least the rest of this season before he can be talked about in the same breath as villa and drogba, who are by far and away the best strikers in the world right now. if he can do that, well damn, then we'll really be in business. but it's still only an if.
First off, thx for saying my post made sense.
The ony problem I have with your post is that you make it sound as if Ibra's been inconsistent his whole career except for last season, which is false. It is true that he wasn't as consistent a scorer in previous seasons, because he was more of a second striker, but playwise he has been consistent for the last 5-6 years, excluding his last six months with Juventus. Also I can't understand how you could rate Drogba ahead of Ibra. I can see people thinking Villa is the better striker as he's extremely skilled, maybe not the most complete, but scores a ton of goals, but Drogba? He's very inconsistent. He's in great form now, yes, but look at his stats for the last few years.

He had that great season in 06/07 but has since then been quite inconsistent. He's done great in Cl though.
Compare that to Ibra's for the last few years.

I'm pretty sure Ibra's assist stats are better too.
You can say that Drogba is better, but it's simply wrong to say that Ibra needs to keep this up for a full season to be at the same level as Drogba, when in fact it should be the other way around.
Anyways, last post I make in this thread. We'll find out who the best is by the end of the season.
