i think you misunderstood my post. actually, maybe my wording was wrong, apologies.
what i mean is that different people might see more value in a different type of striker. i'm guessing goofle's argument for Costa being the best is that when he's in form and playing with the right mindset, he can muscle just about any defender in the league off of the ball. he has a great sense of attacking position and seems to always be able to read the play and drift into the right spot.
whereas i would argue someone like auba is better on the grounds that he might not be as talented at actually shooting the ball, but he'll still give you more goals because of how fast he is and how he manages to find the tap ins and through balls. i want a striker who will score consistently, regardless of how he does it. it can be ugly as all **** if it needs to be. just ****ing score. create goals.
who the best current striker is kinda just semantics me thinks. also messi shouldn't really count since he plays on the wing, ronaldo can get a pass since he's started playing centrally a lot more over the last couple years.
