All three of those are pretty clear-cut imo. Ibrahimovic is a a far better all-round player than Falcao.
Silva is quite comfortably a better player than Silva.
And Di Maria is the best wide player on earth, quite comfortably better than Sanchez.
Silva is quite comfortably a better player than Mata*
Falcao is easily far better than Zlatan.
Don't listen to Kamran. He'll be telling you Downing is world class on his day
Serously though. Di Maria is fabulous.
Falcao is not better than Ibra
Falcao is a better poacher/out and out goalscorer than Ibra, but Ibra is a far better all-round footballer imo.
I don't think Sanchez is anywhere near Di Maria tbh.
Falcao is a much better goalscorer. I'd rather have him tbh. Although I agree when Kamran says Zlatan is better all-round.
Falcao hands down.
Silva
Di Maria
I'd rather have Falcao than Ibra in my team, so I guess that means he's better. Silva is a more elegant player than Mata, but Mata has more end product. Silva is all around better though. I don't care about the other two.
di maria is light years ahead of sanchez.
Flacao vs ibra is even for me
silver over mata easily
Silva is unbelievably erratic, he disappears and has so many poor games. Mata is also very productive, far from a foregone conclusion.
I was lying. Ibra is a decent bit better IMO. Falcao is class, but only close to goal.
"Falcao is class, but only close to goal."

With his goal scoring record I'd be pi$$ed off if he was anywhere else on the pitch.
quite obviously Falcao, Silva, Di Maria. anyone who says otherwise knows nothing.
Ibrahimovic > Falcao
Juan Mata < David Silva
Angel Di Maria = Alexis Sanchez

True
I'd rather have:
Falcao
Silva
Di Maria
Although I think Ibra is more talented than Falcao.
Falcao is more clinical, beats offside and is at the right place at the right time. He will bring you goals and trophies. Ibra is more technical, all rounded. Falcao is not near him. Actually Ibra when he was at Ajax was years ahead of Falcao now at his best. If you followed Ibra when he was at Ajax then you have a clue how good he is.The other two i will go with Mata and Di maria. They are way ahead of Silva and Sanchez.
Ibra
Silva
Di Maria by some distance.
You say Falcao will get you goals and trophies, but if there's one striker you want to bring you trophies it's Ibra. He's won the title at every club he's played at.
Only question mark over him is his work ethic and ability to raise his game in the CL. But you don't score as many goals as he has as win as many trophies as he has without being a top quality striker.
Imagine if he had the work ethic and drive that Ronaldo had! He'd be unstoppable. Because as a footballer, Messi is his only superior.
Not even Ronaldo is as good a footballer as he is, he has everything, but Ronaldo has worked so hard because he wants to be the best, whereas Ibra is an arrogant who already thinks he's the best so doesn't try hard.
They both bring something different to the game so we have to appreciate that. I used to compare players like Brazillian Elber from Bayern and other strikers since he never played alot for Brazil, but at the end of the day both bring something different at the table. Do i believe Ibra has a better instinct to do the job at goal, or his he faster and stronger than falcao, numbers don`t show it. Regardless what people think they are the best at what they are good at.
Ibra may not be as fast or instinctive in front of goal, but he is still a great goal scorer, and an incredible footballer.
If he's not scoring Falcao will not offer anywhere near as much to the team as Ibra will. Ibra may not score and can still be head and shoulders above anyone on the pitch because he's an incredible playmaker.
When it comes to strikers the way I judge it is if you take away their goals, if they're scoring a similar amount, then you will see who is the better player. And for me it's Ibra.
I do the same thing with the Messi - Ronaldo debate. Messi is still the best in the world even without his goals, Ronaldo is not.
Darren did you see Batistuta play and who do think was the greatest between Baggio and Batistuta. Batistuta for me is the greatest striker of all time, I know Brazil Ronaldo takes the honors but Bati is the most lethal striker ever. Never lucky goal, just pure power. And not just the power but the beauty of the goals. I pity the young kids early 20`s who never saw his incredible goals.
