Cheese, with all due respect, its very hard to take you seriously when I saw several pages back you prefer likes of Reus, Hamsik, Hummels, Jovetic etc to a player who has been top few best players in the world in the last seasons. His star quality should be so clear. I mean you cant even admit he is a world class player, whats the point of even comparing him to other players, when you deny that obvious fact. If someone who has performed as he has isnt world class, then that defnition is extremely exlusive one.
Tevez is defenitely better then Torres, overally as a player (that should be clear as fuck to see, Torres is explosive predator, but is way more limited then Tevez in overall package), on par with Rooney or at times better, depends on form and conditions of their teams, has been better then Rooney in last two seasons, but generally similar quality of players, would give the edge to Tevez if push comes to shove (even if I prefer Rooney's creative edge). Villa of Valencia days I would say was the best striker (meaning no Messi, Ronaldo) with Eto'o, but he hasnt been himself in last season, alot of ofcourse due to the team plays in and role he has these days, but still.
Most of this goes over your head I guess, because you are irrational enough to have listed bunch of players you prefer over him in some pages back, I mean, honestly, likes fo Hummels and Reus etc? What was the reason again? "Potential".
