The most effective strike duos around Europe!

April 16, 2008

According to the Danish newspaper BT these are the most effective strikers in Europe when we include both league and Europe.

To be considered on the list you need to be listed as a striker and you need to have played more than 500 minutes during the season, so on the basis of this a player like C.Ronaldo is excluded.

If I had worked out the stats I would not have included players that have played less than 1000 minutes, maybe even 1500, but thought I should post BT`s list anyway.

England:

1. Liverpool - Fernando Torres (113)/ P.Crouch (174) - 144

2. Arsenal - E. Adebayor (151)/ R. van Persie (176) - 163

3. Tottenham - D. Berbatov (167)/ Robbie Keane (168) - 167

4. Blackburn - Matt Derbyshire (160)/ B. McCarthy (190) - 175

5. Man. Utd. - Wayne Rooney (175)/ Carlos Tevez (177) - 176

Spain:

1. Barcelona - Samuel Eto´o (100)/ Lionel Messi (147) - 124

2. Villarreal - Kahveci Nihat (122)/ Giuseppe Rossi (158) - 140

3. Real Madrid - R. van Nistelrooy (147)/ Robinho (160) - 153

4. Sevilla - Luis Fabiano (113)/ Frédéric Kanoute (194) - 154

5. A. Madrid - Sergio Aguero (156)/ Diego Forlán (169) - 163

Germany:

1. Werder B. - Ivan Klasnic (84)/ B. Sanogo (151) - 117

2. Bayern M. - Luca Toni (109)/ Miroslav Klose (168) - 138

3. Hertha - S. Okoronkwo (142)/ M. Pantelic (177) - 160

4. Stuttgart - Mario Gomez (107)/ Cacau (245) - 176

5. Dortmund - Mladen Petric (164)/ D. Klimowicz (196) - 163

Italy:

1. Juventus - Vinc. Iaquinta (133)/ D. Trezéguet (149) - 141

2. Inter - Zlatan Ibrahimovic (127)/ Julio Cruz (157) - 142

3. Genoa - Marco Borriello (132)/ L. Figueroa (188) - 160

4. Fiorentina - Adrian Mutu (124)/ Christian Vieri (204) - 164

5. Milan - Filippo Inzaghi (158)/ Alexandre Pato (189) - 173

France:

1. Bordeaux - F. Cavenaghi (80)/ D. Bellion (206) - 143

2. Lyon - Karim Benzema (134)/ Fred (182) - 158

4. Valenciennes - Johan Audel (150)/ S. Savidan (198) - 174

5. St.bourg - Alvaro Santos (194)/ W. Renteria (215) - 204

Overall:

1. Werder B. - Ivan Klasnic (84)/ B. Sanogo (151) - 117

2. Barcelona - Samuel Eto´o (100)/ Lionel Messi (147) - 124

3. Bayern M. - Luca Toni (109)/ Miroslav Klose (168) - 138

4. Villarreal - Kahveci Nihat (122)/ Giuseppe Rossi (158) - 140

5. Juventus - Vinc. Iaquinta (133)/ D. Trezéguet (149) - 141

6. Inter - Zlatan Ibrahimovic (127)/ Julio Cruz (157) - 142

7. Bordeaux - F. Cavenaghi (80)/ D. Bellion (206) - 143

8. Liverpool - Fernando Torres (113)/ P.Crouch (174) - 144

9. Real Madrid - R. van Nistelrooy (147)/ Robinho (160) - 153

10. Sevilla - Luis Fabiano (113)/ Frédéric Kanoute (194) - 154

So which one of these strikers should we be looking to bring in during the summer?

I think I need that question to justify the thread.
