The best strike partnerships in Europe?

Regarding the Prem, has to be Berbatov and Keane - people say we're a very good side to watch, but apart from Huddlestone's passing & Lennon's dribbling we're not that exciting going from back to front... a lot of times we just lump it up to them and take it from there.

Yes neither have electric pace, but both are mobile and can get in behind, or drop short into the no.10 position... it's very hard for defenders to pick up.

Berbs goal at Arsenal just before Xmas was typical of what they're about... Ball gets played to Keane in a cul-de-sac, he doesn't look over his shoulder, but he knows that Berbatov is somewhere around. One back heel is all it takes to eliminate 3 defenders and Berbatov blasts it into the top corner past Almunia. Beautiful.

In Europe, I'd probably go with Klose & Toni, but if Mancini had any sense about him, he'd realise tha a Zlatan/Suazo combo is potentially lethal over at Inter, though some great ones over the past decade have obviously been Yorke-Cole, Raul-Morientes, and Del Piero-Trez.

Agree with all of that. We certinaly play a forward 3 which switches and changes.

Try telling that to some of the 442 diehards on Redcafe though.

Forgot some others...

Nialll Quinn & Kevin Phillips @ Sunderland

Adriano-Mutu (Parma)

Crespo-Chiesa (Parma)

Heskey & Owen (England & Liverpool): People can laugh all they want because Heskey has almost all the assists, and Owen has almost all the goal, but you can't deny it's tremendously effective. Owen's record for England when starting with Heskey says it all.

You write as if diving is a bad thing , in other cultures it’s praised as being cunning.

The Aguero hype is getting sickening now.

I don't think Calidad wil like this.

Can't even bring yourself to say it can you? Its a shame, I expect this from ManUaints but not so much from you on a serious discussion.

Maybe Calidad means Sonny Anderson?

whoever said RVP better than Tevez is nuts. RVP isn't bad, decent freekicks but apart from that being injured all the time isnt a massive selling point. He has never really done it for me. not a patch on mr bergkamp!

Aguero will be awesome and if he wasn't carrying his club and was playing for a proper top team. this we all have to look forward too.
