TRC, Ronaldo, Messi, Iniesta, Xavi, Fabregas and Ozil are all better than Falcao. 7th is probably about right.

Suarez and Mata on a par this season. he isn't alone up there Suarez, just think he is up there with others, just singled him out really as it's on topic of Suarez.

£30M max price I'd probably have a chance with. I think he can sometimes get overpriced. Most people would say £30M - £35M for him at an average but I'm lowering it because of his track record in England and Holland.

More talented? Maybe. Better? i disagree.

I am one of Fabregas' biggest fans but in no way has he had a better 24 months than Falcao. Same could be said for Ozil.

I don't think Fabregas is better than Falcao. Nor Ozil.

haha, even the Prime minister has weighed on Chewy:

No LRF, you have absolutely no chance, zero.

Fair point. Ozil was better than Falcao last season though. Just hasn't been up to his usual high standards this year.

I'd take Ozil over Falcao in a heartbeat. Although it's hard comparing them as they play in different positions.

TOOR, How much do Liverpool fans value him at? On an average would you say?

TRC, Falcao on form has probably been 4th best in La Liga, Iniesta, Messi and Ronaldo coming above IMO.

Same with Fabregas.

Suarez would probably fetch between £35-40m I'd say.

You don't really like Falcao, do you Dal?

I think he's absolutely class, Kam. Just think the players I've listed are better.

posted on 22/4/13

No I meant in general, you don't rate him as highly as others do, from what I've gathered. I could be wrong though

posted on 22/4/13

I think he's arguably the best striker in the world.

I say arguably as he's really yet to show his class in the CL. So it's hard to really make that claim conclusively as he's yet to really show this current form at the highest level.

It's the same thing I level at Suarez. I know it may sound elitist, but I feel it's something to consider.

Suarez is better than Falcao, people really are buying into falcao's hype...

Fair enough Dal.

Mata is good but Suarez is better.

Top 5 in the EPL this season is:
1. Suarez
2. Bale
3. Mata
4. Hazard
5. Van Persie

Suarez would go for 50 - 60 mil and there'd be many willing to pay that money.

Suarez has 21 in 45 European games, the majority of which were CL games for Ajax

They say bale is worth 100mil. And some claim we can only get 30mil for Suarez. Laughable really.

righteous, according to espn he only scored 2 goals in the CL while at Amsterdam.

But the point remains that as well as he's playing now, he's not performing in the elite competition of world football so it wouldn't be fair to call him the best striker in the world, in my opinion. Same with Falcao.

I know you can only play what's in front of you, though. Best striker in the world is not something we can answer with certainty, to be honesty.

I'd say there are a group that are all the top tier of strikers that all could stake a claim. I'd include Suarez and Falcao in that bracket though.

As if Falcao would come to Liverpool.

Suarez isn't a striker so i wouldn't call him the best striker in the world anyhow.
