the fat brazillian you are talking about ? I saw him in last inter game jeez what an assist he had. He is inconsistent and thats the only issue also he is getting fat.

He is Over rated though/h. im not saying that he isn't talented because most Brazilians are and they should be able to do things like thay. but in the world cup he was Pooh. and 9/10 Inter matches i watch he dose nothing. Some people say he is one of the best strikers in the world for me he doesn't even make the top 8

no way he is in the top ten strikers. If i had the option i will take Berbatov over him ;)

I reckon Berbatov, is ten times a better player and striker Adriano will ever be

Top 10 Striker In My Opinion

Villa
Messi
Henry
Eto'o
Shevchenko (only because of his record)
R V N
Berbatov
Rooney
Drogba
Ronaldo

In no Particular order

and Klose just miss out on there

You could say the same about Henry, Eto'o and Rooney. all can play on the wing and all over the front line but can also play in the center

they can be called forwards or even attackers but not strikers mate. Rooney, C ronaldo, Robben, Messi, Ronaldinho can be called forwards but not strikers. The list I mentioned are strikers and each one is either a poacher or a quick striker with lethal finishing ability ;)

Messi's a Forward in my eyes. He can play anywhere in the attacking line.

In that case, i dont think Rooney is a Poacher. he likes to drop off to much

and i still think if you stuck messi in Adrianos role he would score more goals than him lol

except for real madrid game messi doesn't score as much as he creates. Rooney averages 20 goals a season and around 15+ assists. I think he is a decent striker and has that game changing ability in him ;)

Even on Pro Evo Adriano is fat haha. I think he is too inconsistent, but he can pop up with something special. My top 10 stirkers are in no particular order...

Villa
Eto'o
Berbatov
RVN
Rooney
Torres
Berbatov
Drogba
Raul - his scoring record.
Henry - although he is past it.

Biggs' list:

Villa
Messi
Henry
Eto'o
Shevchenko
R V N
Berbatov
Rooney
Drogba
Ronaldo
Klose

Agreed on all. I also think that Charisteas, Podolski, and even Berby's Bulgarian linemate Bozhinov are better than Adriano, among others. He's a normally half-arsed striker who shows a few flashes of brilliance here and there. Incredibly inconsistent.

:welcome: kohen.

Anyway, I was talking to my mate, who supports Inter Milan a lot.

And I was telling him that Adriano is overrated and slow (like most of you are saying). In response he said your completely wrong and he has strength and technique, he's still also only 24 or something. But I said he is not a world class player, as he wouldn't fit into the premier league or even the la liga with his lack of pace (like Shevchenko). He said Shevchenko was doomed to fail and he wasn't that good in the first place, he just got set up by Kaka, Seedorf etc... for tap ins. And so all he could really do was finish, whereas Adriano is good on the ball and very powerful.

He kind of convinced me, but it would be very interesting if me moved to Man City.

Exactly! That's what I said when he told me. It's mainly cos he's so fat and slow :lol:

Oh he's 25 not 24 btw - I just checked on Wikipedia.

Adriano is a good player when he is on form, one of the best infact
Title: Adriano

On form Adriano is awesome.
My top 10
Rooney
Adriano
Berbatov
Drogba
Henry
Etoo
Luca Toni
Totti
klose
Forlan

Drogba is the best striker in the world right now.
On form Adriano is probably better.
Henry was but is passed it now and the whole team has to play his way but Drogba or Eto would score in any team.
Rooney could be the best but he aint yet.

I would have to Say Ronaldo would have to be in there when he is on form.

he has probably got the best scoring record out of them all
