So Tevez was the best brazilian player too?
Anderson

If I'm ever outed as talking utter bollocks about a United player I might use your "it was a joke" get out clause.
I didn't, that was a joke that you didn't get.
Whereas you actually think that Saha's as good as Torres and that you can't compare Torres and Tevez. You can, and Torres is better
Of course, I won't expect anyone to believe it either but, hey, at least I'll be able to delude myself (and whoever else is gullible enough to believe me) that I'm more "sensible" than the average poster.
Lucas isnt a holding midfielder.
Or it could be a testament to you overpaying...
Yes, that seems to be the situation
Carrick's better than Sissoko though
Lucas hasnt played much, what can we say about him?
In the few games of him he didnt look amazing at all

Lucas Radebe was a great defender.
Two rushing to get on the end of that inviting cross
Who do you think is better between Crouch and VDS?
Because they play slightly different positions and are completely different players.
Tevez plays extremely deep for a striker. More or less "in the hole" but, as often as not, he does a lot of stuff that you would expect from an attacking midfielder. He works incredibly had defensively, only rarely sits on the shoulder of the last defender and his game is often more about creating goals than scoring them. He's a real team-player, he's not selfish enough, in front of goal, to be a real predator like Torres or Ruud.
Torres is an out an out striker. Does feck all defensively and constantly looks to get beyond the defensive line, almost never coming deep to get the ball and when he gets the ball he only has one thing on his mind.
They are both excellent strikers, of course. I think comparing any two players from different teams is an inexact science, tbh, unless one is clearly miles better than the other (e.g. Ronaldo vs Pennant) but comparing Tevez and Torres really is comparing apples with oranges.
Sissiko, dominating?
Is this thread a competition to see who can be the biggest spastic?

Is Torres "better" than Van Persie?
Davo won that competition a few weeks ago when he said Evra wasn't in the top 5 among left backs and then failed to mention 5 players who is better than him.
But the second post of this thread - made by Fred described this kind of thread perfectly. It was bound to end n a meaningless, pointless and biased discussion as to who's got the better players
No one's better than Evra, in any position. Ever
Comparing Torres to Keira Knightly is possible. They both look the same.
I wouldn't shag Torres though. Davo might. If Torres asked him, like.
I don't see any reason why playing in different positions or styles or teams means you can't compare players. For instance, Wayne Rooney's much better than Gareth Barry... that's not controversial. He's just clearly better at football, which is reflected in things like price-tag.
It's possible for two players to be roughly equal, of course, and in your view that's the case with Tevez and Torres, but I don't see why you need recourse to the idea that they're like apples and oranges. They're both footballers.
I've not seen that much of Torres, but from what I have seen he looks better... quicker, more dynamic, more dangerous, he just looks the business, a top-class striker. Tevez is a very good, strong, clever player though.
Anderson has outshone Lucas so far this season, mainly because he's played more games, but before they both came to the Premier league this season, Anderson was definitely praised by world football as the bigger talent out of the two.
Time will tell, but bias aside, I honestly reckon Anderson will be the better player in a few years, early signs are promosing.

Agree with you about the Rooney-Barry comparison, obviously. But I think Tevez and Torres are a lot closer, in terms of quality, so the subtle differences in position and what they bring to the team make comparisons more tricky.
That's just my opinion, of course. But I'm basing it on watching them both over the last few years, not just this season. Torres has had hot streaks before, then played poorly for long periods. At one stage, the Spanish press were wondering if he would ever fulfil his early promise.
I would agree that Torres has definitely had a better start to this season and seems to be perfectly suited to the Premier League (the cnut) But I think Tevez will surprise a lot of doubters, before the season's out.
If Tevez wasn't so clumsy in front of goal, and had half a yard more pace, he'd be more or less unplayable. As it is he's a very good player. Can't think of many teams who wouldn't want him.
Torres is the business though. Wastes chances, but he's just so sharp, and not afraid to bully players. Look at the difference he makes to Liverpool when Sven Benitez actually plays him

Sissoko is dominating games noods. I rate Tevez as a better player than Torres but Torres is a much better goalscorer. Just what Liverpool needed. The cnut.
Well, I hope you're right.
For the record, I also think you can compare apples and oranges. I would say a really top-class apple is nicer than any orange, but your average orange is far better than your average apple.
Kanchelskis14 will be in here in a second saying he knows a really decent young watermelon who's just going to blow your preconceptions away. And if we don't get it, we're spastics.
he'd say torres is better
I assume he meant best player in the Brazilian leagueSo Tevez was the best brazilian player too?
Now, now. Arsenal never wanted him, and apperently he's not a clever player:
That's a fair point. You know what you're getting with oranges. Apples are deceptive bastards. They can look blinding, only to feck you over with their tasteless, floury flesh (+/- random brown bits).
Bananas are the most consistent of the lot. But they taste gak.
bythe way a youtube search of lucas leiva gets 26 vids
anderson abreu gets 39
so anderson wins

Anderson won 2/3 ... pretty conclusive I'd say, mods! shutters!
Lucas reminds me of Pirlo, Anderson reminds me of Essien
2 different players, Anderson is a more exciting talent because of his dynamic play.

Tevez = Anderson > Lucas > Venison > Torres
Torres can mainly score at Anfield, that says alot I think.
If you can't see the obvious joke in the whole Kuyt thing then I'm not sure what to tell you....
This isn't a sensible football forum...we should have one though. That's a great idea
