Obviously Eto'o.
Love Zlatan but Eto'o is the best striker in the world. Has been for most of the last 3 or 4 years.

When on form Eto'o is an unstoppable monster that hungers for goals.
Don't get me wrong Zlatan is great too and capable of seemingly impossible things at times. Zlatan's main problem is that he hasn't scored more than 20 goals a season in the league even in Holland.
A striker's most important asset is his natural goalscoring instinct and Zlatan lacks it.
It can only be Eto'o IMHO.

Eto'o is the best forward since Pele and it is a sacrilege to compare him to Ibrahimovic.
Berbatov is Marco van Basten reincarnated.
Muntari is a poor mans Thomas Gravesen.
Zlatan "Hole in knee-cartilage" Ibrahimovic is not a big game player because he couldn't lead 10 man Inter vs Liverpool last season.
We get it man...

I think Zlatan is a world class striker. It's just I think Eto'o is the best striker in the world.
And Muntari is also a good player, I just couldn't believe how much he went for, is all.

Eto'o is the best striker in the world (Bar Villa?)....But Zlatan isn't a finishing kinda striker...he is more like a creator....Undoubtedly, both are the best in their respective positions.
And Zlatan IS better than Berbatov...moving to MU doesn't turn a player into a legend instantly....I remember the same thing happening to Tevez..Tevez was far far better in Boca and Curanthians than West Ham and MU, but his move to England was what made him "world class" in the eyes of people/.....

Berbatov was world class at Leverkusen and Spurs.
Tevez hasn't really hit apache status in England, no. I think most people did consider him world class, though. There was a reason him and Mascherano joining West Ham was such massive news.

I think you summed it up nicely.
They're both different players, but Eto'o is a better goalscorer and that's pretty obvious.

Rob, every New Maradona, when moving to Europe for first time, becomes a massive news. Didn't the same thing happen to Aimar, Riquelme, and obviously, Saviola??...Even if people have never seen them play before, there always are high expectations for new Maradonas, and Tevez is no different....
I mean, his season in West Ham and first year with MU saw him reach the world class status....By god, he was even regarded as a forerunner for Ballon D'OR.......despite being have as good as the apache of Boca....
ANd btw, you can argue the same thing on Lavezzi N' Aguero.....former turned from a promising player to a soon-to-be-world-class player, the latter....well...a promise to one of the bests in the game

Tevez at Boca and Corinthians was amazing. Plus he'd already been the best player at an Olympics by that point. He didn't come over as an unproven kid.
It's different from Aguero, because Aguero moved to Europe after what, half a season?
