Dr Kitaun:

Villa shits on them both currently . . .

but over time, Etoo has been phenomenal . . .

who and where was Torres couple of seasons ago ? IN THE LAND OF OBSCURITY !

That's a terrible premise to support your argument. Torres was FAR more popular at 23 (2 seasons ago) than Eto was at the same age. Real Madrid, Arsenal and United had repeatedly tried to sign him and he replaced the great Raul in the Spanish national team for Germany 2006 and scored their first goal at the competition(3 years ago). That's not Obscurity my friend.

Some also say Torres isn't great cos he hasn't got a lot of trophies. That's bullsh*t! The bloke has got so many personal awards and that's what we are discussing here, isn't it? Plus how many team trophies has Villa got. How many has Eto led Cameroun to? All these players are great. End of.

are u drunk on Iya Basira's sepe ?

are u talking of the same Etoo that made headlines as far as 3 world cups ago even as a young player ?

I think zlatan ibramovich the leg magician is the most skillfull striker,but definately torres is just the best but villa more deadlier and skillfull.Both are good.

Now it has been proven beyond all doubt that Torres is shyte

I'm sorry but Drogba is no 1. The best striker in the world by far. Most complete and deserves all the accolades he can get.

Case closed. Villa has shown why he is No 1 !

On what basis is drogba better than villa. let's leave sentiment out of this.

Villa still hasnt reached the dizzying heights Etoo attained between 2000 and 2009

Villa still hasnt reached the dizzying heights Etoo  attained between 2000 and 2009

What dizzying heights did Etoo attain between 2000-2003?
Etoo didn't do nada until he moved to Barcelona under Rijkaard in 2004 and playing with Ronaldinho, Messi and Guily helped his cause.

It is Yakubu.

David villa. Abeg make una no argue am. Stat as at today says. Made his spanish debut in 2005, played 71 games scored 41 goals 3 behind raul. Highest goal scores in euro2008

What dizzying heights did Etoo attain between 2000-2003?
Etoo didn't do nada until he moved to Barcelona under Rijkaard in 2004 and playing with Ronaldinho, Messi and Guily helped his cause.

Etoo won the ANC with Cameroun in 2000, won the olympics in the same year, was a star at the confed cup.

He score 48 league goals for Mallorca and won the Kings cup for Mallorca before leaving.

In his first season at Barcelona, The team won the first league title in 6 seasons and he was the club highest goal scorer

i belive we should check fact first before concluding here. team acheivement isnt all it depends on the calber of players in team. look at villa, torres and eto stats. that says all. villa has the best stat of all. dogba gosh he has none at all. abeg Villa is the best

dayokanu:

Etoo won the ANC with Cameroun in 2000, won the olympics in the same year, was a star at the confed cup.

Oh yes. . . . . .David Villa played in the ANC 2000 and Etoo outshone him.
What has ANC 2000 gotta do with this argument?

He score 48 league goals for Mallorca and won the Kings cup for Mallorca before leaving.

He scored 54 league goals for Mallorca in 5 seasons. . . . . .How prolific was that?
In raw statistics, Etoo bagged 54 league goals in 133 appearances and you tell me he was dizzying? U must be a goat!

In his first season at Barcelona, The team won the first league title in 6 seasons and he was the club highest goal scorer

Yes, Ronaldinho, Messi, Guily and Deco had no contribution to this 1st league title in 6 seasons.
It was Etoo that won it all by HIMSELF and yet a fellow team-mate managed to cop the WPOTY in the same season.


Now to David Villa. . . . . . .

Statistically, the Spaniard is already in a league of his own among forwards in top European leagues.
It’s not just that he has scored 202 goals in 384 league appearances. It’s the fact that he has recorded at least 15 goals in a season every year since breaking into the first team at Sporting Gijón at the age of 19. It appears certain that his streak will continue, extending to an incredible 10 consecutive years.

To put such a feat in context, consider that no other striker in a top European league has achieved that more than six times in the past eight seasons (and that even a consummate goalscorer such as Alan Shearer managed it only nine times in his career).
What is more, Villa has proven to be extremely durable, appearing in more than 90 per cent of Valencia’s games in that period. For a diminutive, pacy striker like him, that, too, is a remarkable feat.

His international record speaks for itself. With 43 goals in 63 games for Spain, he is second in their list of all-time scorers (despite having made his debut only four years ago) - If he had converted his penalty few weeks ago in a group match, he woulda matched Raul Gonzalez's record.
Equally attractive to football fans is his versatility.
He has been successful as a lone centre forward, a shadow striker and even out wide in a 4-3-3.

At the same time, he is one of the most durable players around.
He has missed only 26 league games in the past eight seasons, which means he has played in 92 per cent of his club’s league matches in that period.
That is a shade less than Frank Lampard (93 per cent), who is the worldwide standard of durability, and better than just about any top attacking player you care to name.

^ now you can shut your dirty mouth and say 4 times Etoo is the best and greatest striker in the world. Even in anzhi the dude rocks , haters gon hate
