i would blame moist but i think i started it
It's difficult to pick only 1 best among those. For me Suarez, Aguero, Falcao 3 best and very lethal striker.
Cavani, Levazzi, Tavez are one step below above 3.
In the most literal sense of being a 'striker', Falcao really does it for me. He's just got it all. He could be in a wheelchair and somehow he'd still bag you 20 goals a season.
Suarez and Aguero are very 'modern' strikers. They'll run at defenders, create mayhem in the offensive-third, they've got pace and an incredible desire. They're also very intelligent in the footballing sense.
you havent lived until you've seen a man enjoy the pleasures of dirty carping
-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Do you need a keep-net for that?
I would love Tevez at Arsenal, I wonder if he would take a pay cut?!
-=-=-=-=-=-=-
I think the answer to that would be an emphatic 'NO'! Also, I get the feeling he's at home playing in Turin and Serie A is a league where he can really flex his muscles. I'd imagine his next move would be back to Argentina and very likely to Boca Juniors.
In terms of overall work-rate and sacrificing himself for the team(on the pitch), you'll have to go a long way to find a better forward player than Senor Tevez!
Hulk is overrated for sure, I know it will kick a fuss and debate but I cant restrain myself saying he is overrated.
I am not sure how good Higuin is tbh, I don't think he would have been brilliant in current Arsenal team, he could do that at Madrid because he had ronaldo, maria and other quality around him.
Tevez hit 19 goals this season for Juve so a good return for his first season
Higuain hit 17 in 32 league games also a very good return for his first season
with the amount of ball players Arsenal have and the chances created Higgy would have scored more I reckon
so then how did Higuain get in the Argentina squad and not Tevez?
Tevez banged Messi's mum and Sabella got píssed off because it was his turn
I dunno....for me Aguero and Tevez are very similar throw in Messi as well and you don't need all 3.....Higgy on the other hand adds that number 9 aspect that the others don't have, tis a different option
so then how did Higuain get in the Argentina squad and not Tevez?
------------------------
By Tevez' standards he has not had a great season, coupled with the fact that he does not score in Euro competitions,
dont forget the theory that the Argie gaffer played for Sheff Utd....and Tevez pretty much relegated them...so he's holding a grudge
Actually, Tevez has scored 19 goals in 31 games. for Juve.
That is a cracking!

Sheffield United[edit]Sheffield United had tried to sign the teenage Diego Maradona from Argentinos Juniors, however, manager Harry Haslam decided he was too expensive. Therefore, Sheffield turned to Sabella, and they signed him for £160,000 on 19 July 1978. He made his debut for "the Blades" in a 2–1 defeat against Leyton Orient on 19 August 1978. Unfortunately, the 'Blades' fans still recalled England midfielder Tony Currie, who had become a club legend.
Sabella played for United until 1980, scoring 8 league goals in 76 appearances. After relegation to the Third Division, manager Harry Haslam agreed a fee of £600,000 with Second Division club Sunderland. However, Sabella had ambitions to play in the First Division and refused to go. His final appearance for Sheffield United came with a goal in the County Cup (a regional competition between South Yorkshire teams) Final victory over Sheffield Wednesday on 8 May 1980.
His time at Sheffield United is regarded highly and he is often seen by blades fans as a Sheffield United Legend.

I actually feel the opposite. It's a lot harder than it seems to bang so many goals in when the side puts so much emphasis on the wide players. Having Ozil in the side made things much easier for him, and funny enough, that would be exactly the same case at Arsenal now.
With Falcao, I don't know what it is, but I always have the feeling he's just a man in a purple patch. It's ridiculous, I know, because he's been banging them in for quite a few years now, but I can't shake the feeling that he'll fade into the distance the moment his confidence goes.
he's not even the best ever Falcáo
still waiting for the new Roberto Rivelino

From what I have seen, and its limited to mainly PL and CL football I would go with
Suarez, Aguero and Tevez
Not seen nearly enough of Cavani or Falcao to comment and much as I like Higuain I dont think he is better than the 3 I mentioned.
