i havent read all the threads, cos i havent had time today, so apologies if this has already been discussed.

Remember Baros went through and scored with a mighty F*ckin Fine splendid finish, rifled with his left foot from a tight angle? only to be ruled offside? and the T.V actually showed it to be onside. Paul Jones may have mae more of an effort if play carried on, but the finish was still sublime, and we may have made something out of the move if play carried on.

BY the way, we look SH*TLOADS better with Baros playing. it was f*ckin obvious last night.

Theres absolutely no question Jim that we looked a different team when he came on. My only slight reservation would be that given Mellors performance, he was always going to make a huge difference. He is though a top class striker in his own right now in my view.

Baros finished that off brilliantly, although Paul Jones looked like he'd already seen the offside flag/heard the whistle so didn't make any attempt to save it. Not sure he could've though, even if he wanted to!

Oh come on bigmick... Top class?

I thought you'd know better than that mate.

Just because he's our best forward doesn't mean he's top class does it.

He replaced Mellor, who in all honesty, had a stinker. As you say he was always going to make an impact.

He is definately at least 2 or 3 levels above Mellor but he's nowhere near the level of Anelka, Kluivert, Reyes, Henry, Rooney, van Nistlerooy etc etc etc.

Imo there are at least 10 strikers better than Baros in our league. As good as the lad is and as much as i love his effort and determination, he's by no means a great player.

stu, unless we can all agree on a player quality classification system we'll have to accept that judgements are subjective.

personally i would prefer to describe baros as excellent.

I think if you look at the records of all the players you have mentioned this season, apart from Henry, Baros has scored more goals per game (he has been out quite a bit this season. I would say he is an excellent forward and more importantly is improving all the time

by **stmichael** » Wed Jan 12, 2005 2:32 pm

unfortunately i agree with stu on this

i'm a baros fan, but to me he's still a long way from being the finished article.

Ten strikers

IMO Baros is just about in the top five

Not many opportunities till this season but dont discount Euro 2004

When it comes to the top three clubs who partners them, Baros has due to unfortunate circumstances heald the flag on his own to a large extent

He is still in the top five scorers in the league

IMO lets see what happens with Morientes joining, they may or may not form a great partnership but with two class players together and a solid midfield I expect his strike rate to improve

Henry IMO is by far the best in the league then Van Horseface but take away Bergkamp etc and you can see a difference

1. Henry
2. van Nistlerooy
3. Reyes
4. Rooney
5. Anelka
6. Drogba
7. Defoe
8. Hasslebaink, Angel
9. Kluivert, Viduka
10. Keane, Phillips, Baros.

I rate Baros as good as Keane and Phillips. At the start of the season i didn't.

In all honesty i think all of those are better players than Baros. Baros may get to the 8th best in the league. But i cannot see him getting better than any of the other players above him ever.

1 Henry- better than baros
2. van Nistlerooy-also marginally better but gettin on a bit now
3. Reyes- great young talent remmber baros is only 22 or somthin
4. Rooney- best stiker in the laegue great future ahead of him
5. Anelka- sulking all the time no effort but in if he is so good y is only fernache intested in him other than us
6. Drogba- Good header and hold up play but not that much pace but finshing is a bit lacking bit like a hoarse
7. Defoe- amazing this boy is gonna go do great htings we should have sifned him finshing grat shot on him pace everthing
8. Hasslebaink, Angel- both ok but no where near baros hasselbank is to old only has 2 good seasons left and angel when was the last time he scored

?
9. Kluivert, Viduka- both have scored mimnimal amount of goals this season viduka is a lazy c*nt and kluvert looks like he can t be bothered to do anything exept be offside lol
10. Keane, Phillips, Baros.- kenane good 4 irelnad but lacking in prem not scorin goals but still very good player phillips always a goal scorer but never that much flair class and paxe as baros

If any good could come from Cisse breaking his leg it is that Baros now knows hes top dog and is better when playing up on his own, Cisse was very similar in style to Baros and they were often in each others way, they definatley need to work on playin together as they looked on different wave lengths most of the time. Hopefully when Cisse is back and Morientes is settled in they will be a threesome to reckon with :angry:

Mellor and Pongolle would never get in the 1st team then not that im not thankfull for what they have achieved this season.

Get better soon Cisse
