I feel he's a wastefull player , he has speed and is a handful to the defense but I've seen him badly miss shots , and when I say bad, I mean kick the ball right out of the stadium bad .

Yeah. That's the thing that pisses me off about him. He needs 5-6 sure goal chances that a striker like Ruud Or Trez would convert before he scores a goal from one of them

Adebayor is one of the most arrogant and unclassy players I've ever seen, much like Drogba. But he's one good arrogant and unclassy fucker.

for real....but Drogba is the shit!
I don't rate Drogba high either. I realy don't like his play. Please don't f*ck me over for this, I know that I'm the only person in the whole world who thinks like that. From all the strikers in the EPL, I like Rooney the most, but he would not fit in Juve and I wouldn't want him here. If I had to choose one, it would be Van Persie, but he's a bit to injury prone.

I'm really going to get it for this... but one notable EPL striker that I think could be very effective in Serie A is Peter Crouch.

Yes, him...

Not as a starting striker, but because he's so good in the air and hard to defend against due to his versatility and lanky nature. He could be a very effective supersub poacher if he had good service from guys like Camoranesi. He wouldn't be a very useful 90 minute player, because rough Italian defenses would wear him down.

Of course, he would never accept being a supersub... so its a non-starter. I like Van Persie too, when he's not hurt. Drogba is an arrogant ass, but the guy is effective... VERY effective.

is he?? he had one great season for Chelsea, Ade has the potential to be better imo, time is still on his side. Having said that, i dont rate Ade that highly myself, and i dont see the point of buying him when you have both DP and Trez in your team, two players who are so much better than Adebayor.

While he's worshiped and overrated by the English media, he is extremely underrated here imo. Rooney is a very good player, he just needs to improve his finishing, as fas as i'm concerned he isnt a better finisher than Adebayor.

The strikers I would love from the EPL are Rooney, Berbatov and Tevez. I prefer those 3 ahead of any other EPL forwards.

But he's not good in the air, thats a common misconception that stems from the fact he's a tall player, but actually he isnt a very good header of the ball.

Torres?? RVP his injuries aside is better than Tevez imo.
