Have you watched Liverpool? What has Baros done compared to Owen for the last couple of seasons? Owen has scored an average of 1 goal in every 2 games for Liverpool, Baros, to be brutally honest, has done nowt in comparison. He's a prospect, but still a bit raw, he runs at defenders with his head down, his finishing is a bit suspect, his runs aren't particularly clever. He's still learning the game, Owen is already way ahead of him. Just ask any English football fan which striker he would rather have in his team and they will tell you Michael Owen because he is a proven goalscorer and Baros is not.

I can't believe you're suggesting that Baros is now a better striker than Owen because he played well for a couple of weeks at Euro 2004 as the main striker for the most attacking team in the tournament. I hope this is a windup.

of course the brits will say Owen cuz he holds a special place in every supporter's heart but that doesn't justify it

Had a feeling you'd come out with something like that because your argument is a ridiculous one. Owen and Baros have played at the same club, what better opportunity to compare them? Baros has always been behind Owen in the Liverpool pecking order and is only finally getting a first team chance because Owen is gone. That should tell you everything.

lol i call it obstination

I am not Brit and certainly not a Liverpool fan and I would say Owen is the better striker (for now). Being topscorer at a month long tournamnet is an achievement but it doesnt say all that much if you consider the fact that Salenko (who?) was joint top scorer at WC 94 and Suker was top scorer at 1998. By that rationale one would say Baros is a better striker than Henry.

Dont get me wrong, Baros is a great potential and I like his no nonsense striking abilities but Owen has too many times single handedly pulled Liverpool through rough times and not to mention the European Footballer of the Year award. Being a proven goalscorer at local and international football plus a move to Real Madrid does not hurt his credentials at all.

I wouldnt put adriano, baros and cassano there just yet, they all shown potential but are not world class strikers ... plus cassano is not an out and out striker else you might wanna throw raul in there as well ..... i think vieri deserves to be on that list more than crespo

Adriano plays for my club still is not top 10.(I watch every match)
Cassano plays for Roma who I watch frequently and is far from being top 10. Lets see him start a few games for Roma in a row.
Baros had a good Euro 2004 but what else did he have?
Crespo top 15
Trezeguet top 15 and many will flame me but he has too many excuses and misses way to much.

Also learn how to spell.

This top ten reflects how good the players were this year and they all proved themselves, Baros was amazing at the euro cup he proved even though he didn’t play a lot at Liverpool he was the best striker during the euro, and Adriano at the copa America.

as for Vieri and Raul plz.....they didn’t do jackshit this year.

guys dont get me wrong, Owen is a great player but these guys did better this year imo.
