Arent they all...

 

[Xperd]

Dzeko has had less playing time in the last year, has he not? Not to mention the Micky Mouse league that Spain offers in defending.

Ridiculous argument No.1

 

[Hust]

Llorente vs Dzeko.

Catch me here next summer

 

[Xperd]

Yes that argument again. When has a Spanish player that as scored so many goals in Spain even come close to replicating that outside of Spain?

Torres maybe...but look at how he is doing now.

Ridiculous argument No.2

 

[Klovn]

Catch me here next summer

I didn't notice i wrote "next", I meant "last"

 

[Fr3sh]

Llorente

Jovetic-Mirko

 

[KB824]

Look, at the end of the day, there are a couple of things to consider.


#1) Either striker would be a huge improvement over what Juve currently has


#2) Juve cannot afford to sit and wait and hope and pray that man City maybe, potentially, possibly, hopefully, puts Dzeko on the market.

Ligue 1:
2011-2012: Nene/Giroud 22 goals
2010-2011: Sow 25 goals
2009-2010: Niang 18 goals

LA LIGA:

If you can't see through the numbers that its notoriously easier to score in spain compared to other leagues then just wow.

[Boksic]

Dzeko: 45 games, 21 goals for Bosnia
Llorente: 20 games, 7 goals for Spain

How is he more efficient?

Llorente: 236 games, 79 goals for AB (from 2005 to present)
Dzeko: 111 games, 66 goals for Wolfsburg (in only 4 season with ze Germans)

When Dzeko gets consistent playing time, he outscores the Spaniard easily. And Dzeko is a year younger.



Dzeko for the win.

I think it is too simplistic to compare goals to games.

For example for Spain, Llorente is not a starter and often comes on late in games so many of his 20 caps will have been for less than a half of football. Whereas Dzeko is a key man for Bosnia and will start every game.

Similarly for Dzeko he was bought by Wolfsburg to be a starter and so is likely to have played more full matches than Llorente who was raised by Bilbao and would no doubt have been slowly introduced as a youngster into their team. In the last 3 seasons he scored 72 in 144 games (0.5 per game). In the same time Dzeko has scored 65 in 128 games (0.5 per game)(although some of this rate is when he was at city and not used as much, but you could argue City create far more chances that Bilbao).

So pretty similar ratio, but like I said probably too simplistic to look at stats, and better to evaluate who is more suited to the way we play.

 

[Xperd]

Could it just be Messi and Ronaldo are GOATS ?tell me Hustini ?

Apart from their numbers,the goal stats are pretty even for each league.

See Cusp, this man knows how to argue. Hopefully you are taking notes.

 

[Osman]

lol and look how well he is doing now.

Torres in EPL >>>> Torres In La Liga.

 

[Boksic]

Great feet

 

[KB824]

Great feet

I heard one person compare him to Andy Carroll and I just wanted to put my fist through my Satellite Radio

I'm just done arguing with you especially on this particular topic..Run out of patience..

Here is another number supporting my "ridiculous argument"

Total goals for the top 20 players in their respective leagues:

Spain: 345 goals
England: 301 goals
Germany: 302 goals
Italy: 297 goals


No league offers more goals than La Liga. Plain and simple. I can't dumb it down anymore for you.

Liverpool days I'd agree.
