The most effective strike duos around Europe!

[Guest Kaizer]

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

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.

Surely if Messi is included C Ronaldo should in the pot as well?

[Igors Uncle Dave]

I assume the lower the figure the better? What does the figure represent?

[Guest oyvmong]

Average number of minutes between every goal scored.

[John am Rhein]

But what about their style of play? Surely that's far more important than mere goals scored?

Arsene Wenger reacted with disgust in today's Daily Mirror's, claiming that "Barcelona bribed the judges".

Should be Steven Gerrard and Torres then... He's playing a withdrawn striker, which isn't much different to the wide role Ronaldo plays.

[Ostrich Man]

their manipulated stats are as insulting to me as a cartoon about some beardy bloke.
